HOW TO INVEST

MARKET COMMENTARY

In November, global listed infrastructure companies advanced modestly (+0.5%), trailing broader global (+4.7% in A$) and domestic (+3.3%) equity markets, as investors favoured riskier assets amid signs the global economy was stabilising and concerns about the growth outlook continued to ease.

Positive data included an increase in the global manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the fourth consecutive month. Sentiment was also buoyed by the more constructive tone of US/China trade talks and signs a hard Brexit could be avoided. Expectations of continued accommodative monetary policy further bolstered the positive outlook.

Argo Infrastructure is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the ASX code ‘ALI’.

To become an Argo Infrastructure shareholder, simply buy shares through your stockbroker, online broker, financial adviser or platform.

During the month, satellite companies experienced sharp falls after the US Federal Communications Commission indicated that the government is likely to sell off the C-band spectrum (to be repurposed in part for 5G communications) through a public auction. It was previously expected that the satellite companies, which were granted the spectrum many decades ago, would be permitted to sell the bandwidth in a private auction. As a result, the outcomes for satellite companies are uncertain at present.

In November, portfolio performance was bolstered by stock selection among electric utilities, including Duke Energy which raised equity to bolster its balance sheet. Another contributor to performance was an out-of-index position in Norwegian company Ørsted Energy, the world’s leading independent offshore wind farm developer and operator.
