MARKET COMMENTARY
Global listed infrastructure delivered +2.0% in A$ terms in April, another solid month although lagging broader equity markets which continued to hit record highs around the world. ALI’s portfolio outperformed with +2.9%, helped by an out-of-index position in Australian data centre operator, NEXTDC. The ALI share price jumped 6.3% over the month.
Marine ports (+4.2%) and midstream energy (+4.0%) were the best subsectors in April, with midstream energy (mainly energy pipelines and storage) rising for the fourth month in a row on continued strength in commodity prices.
With long-distance air travel looking like one of the last travel segments to recover, airports servicing longer routes in the Asia-Pacific region were weaker than European airports which are seeing improved seasonal and shorter-route regional demand. Toll roads were also stronger in Europe, for similar reasons.
Utilities also moved higher, with some companies adding value through sales of subsidiary assets to large sovereign funds seeking direct infrastructure investments.
