Share Investor's Total Returns: Sky City Entertainment Group Ltd

I have written about returns for stocks on a general basis in the Long Term View series of posts and the Long VS Short series but in this series, Share Investor's Total Returns, I will giving my actual returns for stocks in the Share Investor Portfolio for as long as I have held them.

The return calculation will include dividends earned along with qualifying tax credits and of course any capital increase in the share price. It will be a total return over the length of holding of the share expressed in overall dollar figures with an individual value per share of what the stock currently is held at.

The first stock in this particular series is the foundation stock of the portfolio and one that I have held for nearly 9 years, Sky City Entertainment Group Ltd [SKC.NZX].

The current holding of 36915 shares was kicked off by an initial purchase of 2500 (adjusted for 2: 1 share split) in October 2010 and a whole series of purchases up to November 2003, plus 1915 bought as part of a 2009 capital raising.

The stock cost a total of $148620.18, it has returned net dividends of $59445.55 and total tax credits of $33491.24, with $260.00 in brokerage.

I am eligible for the full tax credit so if the gross dividend (net dividend plus tax credits)is added and brokerage taken off my full return over the total holding period of 8.5 years is $92936.79

There has only been a capital gain on the 1915 shares bought in the 2009 capital raising which was acquired at $2.61 per share and the current capital value of the company in the Share Investor Portfolio as at 6 May 2011 is $135846.50. The capital loss therefore is $12773.68. This gives a total return on this share of $80163.11. This is a 53.90% return over 8.5 years or 6.34% net per annum.

I hold SKC therefore at a total cost of $68457.07 or $1.85 per share.
