    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

  • Warrants Alert July 2018
    Warrants Alert July 2018 I N D E P E N D E N T A D V I C E O N U K W A R R A N T S - P U B L I S H E D S I N C E 1 9 8 9 England’s 6-1 thrashing of Panama in the FIFA World Cup had little chance of translating into a great feel-good factor to boost the domestic stockmarket, which is focused on international tensions at present. Markets seem obsessed for now with the spectre of global protectionism. President Trump’s escalation of trade barriers with China in particular has caused some investors to take some risk off the table, but there has been no concerted sell-off to concern us unduly. Fund managers we have spoken to in the last month say the trade war may well have some selective impact in certain industries, but overall they do not believe it will have far-reaching consequences for the massive economies involved. That leaves us free to continue seeking out detailed analysis of individual opportunities, which we do this month with reports on a presentation by the manager of Fidelity Asian Values, the impact of two-way fund flows in the uranium market, important forGeiger Counter, and the valuation of small-cap mining shares held by Golden Prospect Precious Metals. And if we can finish in the same country where we began, if you are puzzled by the apparent disappearance of Raven Russia, we explain that too. M A R K E T S T A T I S T I C S Apart from the anticipated expiry of six covered warrants on theFTSE 100 Index, there were no changes of note in the average market statistics during the month.
