Market commentary
In June, global listed infrastructure lagged the broader market and was essentially flat (in A$). Given moderating inflation and the Federal Reserve’s decision to pause short-term lending rates this month, utilities and communications subsectors posted positive returns. Notably, communications stocks rallied +3.3% (in A$ terms) after underperforming for much of the year. Argo Infrastructure’s portfolio increased +0.6% for the month, an overweight position in SBA Communications the main contributor to its outperformance relative to the benchmark index.
Over the last financial year to 30 June 2023, global listed infrastructure stocks gained +2.7% in A$ terms amid sustained central bank monetary tightening.
Argo Infrastructure is holding an information meeting in Canberra on Thursday 27 July 2023 at 2.30pm at Canberra Hyatt Hotel. No RSVP is required. Light refreshments will be provided. All welcome.
