HOW TO INVEST
MARKET COMMENTARY
After falling in May, global equity markets rallied sharply in June, with the MSCI World Index posting a gain of +5.2% in A$ terms. The strong market performance was attributable, in part, to the US Federal Reserve and various other central banks indicating a more accommodative approach to monetary policy. Investor sentiment was also supported by signs of progress in trade negotiations between the US and China.
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.
These factors contributed to an increased appetite for risk which saw asset classes with more defensive attributes generally lag broader equities. Global infrastructure stocks rose +2.9% for the month, a modest gain compared to the MSCI World Index’s return.
Adding to recent gains, Argo Infrastructure’s portfolio delivered another positive return, increasing +3.0% to marginally outperform its benchmark index. Toll roads jumped by +5.2% in June, led by Transurban, following the first interest rate cut in Australia for three years.
Argo Infrastructure’s share price has continued to perform well, recently reaching a record high of $2.30 per share. In our view, this reflects a combination of factors including strong portfolio performance, an increasing awareness and understanding of the Argo Infrastructure investment opportunity, and with most equity markets trading near record highs, an underlying trend towards more defensive portfolio asset allocations.
