Wesfarmers (WES)

My SMSF has 2318 shares in WES, and they have a Capital Management Initiative at the moment. What is the best thing to do regarding this?

A: You don’t need to do anything.


You will receive a payment from Wesfarmers of $1.00 per share on 16 December – comprising a return of capital of $0.75 and a $0.25 franked dividend.


At the same time, there will be a consolidation of shares on a 1:0.9827 basis.


Your 2,318 old shares will become 2,278 shares.
