MARKET COMMENTARY

Global equity markets continued their recovery in May, posting another month of gains (up +3.4% in A$ terms) on optimism around the easing of coronavirus containment measures and expectations of continued fiscal and monetary policy support worldwide in response to the extraordinary pandemic-related economic challenges.

Global listed infrastructure stocks also rose, although modestly underperforming broader equities. Some of the infrastructure sectors most heavily impacted by social distancing shutdowns, including railways and other transportation sectors, benefited from government plans to begin relaxing movement restrictions and travel bans.

Argo Infrastructure’s portfolio increased +3.2%, outpacing the benchmark with returns bolstered by overweight holdings in communications towers and data centres. These companies continued their resilient performance, buoyed by remote work and education activity online, a trend we anticipate will persist into the future.
