Savana US Small Caps Active ETF (ASX:SVNP) fell 7.65% in September, trailing the S&P SmallCap 600 by 4.92 percentage points as higher US bond yields and a concentrated AI rally split the market. The manager says its valuation discipline kept it away from the month’s strongest semiconductor performers, while highlighting a 52% gain from its Everforth investment.

L1 Global Long Short Fund has launched a non-underwritten one-for-two entitlement offer at A$1.76 a share, targeting up to A$482.7 million for new investments. The raising follows a 19.4% portfolio return since L1 Capital became manager and comes with the familiar risk that shareholders who do not participate could be diluted.

Wide Open Agriculture has completed a study for a proposed 10,000-tonne-per-year lupin protein facility with indicative annual revenue of A$240 million to A$295 million. The project remains unfunded, unapproved and years from production, leaving contract manufacturing as the immediate test of the company’s strategy.

Accelerate Resources has completed three large-diameter diamond holes at its Area 42 manganese project, with visual mineralisation recorded in each hole. The standout hole covered a 72m downhole span and ended in mineralised chert breccia, but assays and metallurgical results are still pending.

Australian Foundation Investment Company (ASX:AFI) plans to pay a fully franked 37 cents per share in FY27, including a 10-cent special dividend. The listed investment company will also replace its traditional payment pattern with four quarterly distributions of 9.25 cents.

RareX has moved Cummins Range through key permitting and heritage milestones, while stronger metallurgical results broaden the project’s critical-minerals potential. But the explorer’s annual loss widened to A$5.07 million, cash burn remained high and its going-concern assessment still depends on future funding and project development.

1414 Degrees reported a wider FY2026 loss, falling cash reserves and a material uncertainty over its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is nevertheless pressing ahead with SiNTL battery commercialisation, a proposed 1 GW data centre precinct and full ownership of Aurora.

Macquarie Global Yield Maximiser Fund delivered a 48.6% increase in operating profit and more than doubled net assets to A$340.7 million in the year to 30 June 2026. The expansion came alongside sharply higher distributions, although the portfolio’s larger exposure to debt securities leaves interest rates and credit spreads central to the next phase.

Independent LONGi testwork has produced 66.3% to 68.0% Fe magnetite concentrates from four Magnetite Range samples using a bench-scale dry flowsheet. The results strengthen the case for a water-efficient route in Accent Resources' pre-feasibility study, but remain preliminary and untested at pilot scale.

RAM Essential Services Property Fund has posted a $30.1 million FY2026 statutory loss as property values weakened, while its planned $218.6 million retail sale prepares the fund for a healthcare-focused reset. The transaction could reduce gearing to 16.8%, but FY2027 distribution guidance is below the latest payout and refinancing remains unfinished.

PTR Minerals has posted a 463 million tonne maiden resource for its Rosewood titanium project, backed by strong early processing results and fresh funding. The next test is whether the large geological inventory can become an economically viable mine.

Anson Resources has secured approval for 17 additional Utah lease blocks covering 16.02 square kilometres inside the Green River Lithium Project’s resource area of interest. The company says the expanded ground could support a larger JORC resource without further drilling, but the proposed exploration target remains conceptual and the lease is not yet signed.
