Household sector financial assets increased by 1.7 per cent in the March quarter, a somewhat slower rate than in previous quarters, as a reduction in the value of direct
equity holdings partially offset strong gains in the value of funds held in superannuation.
There have been some structural changes at SPLP in the interim, primarily acquisition of an
equity interest in Moduslink in March 2013, disposition of an interest in an English insurance company, Barbican
Holdings, and consolidation of one
partially owned subsidiary, BNS, into another, Steel Excel.
