Fund OverviewThe 4D Global Infrastructure Fund aims to outperform the OECD G7 Inflation Index +5.5% p.a. over the long term by identifying quality listed global infrastructure securities, trading at or below fair value with sustainable, growing earning combined with sustainable, growing dividends.

The fund will be managed as a single portfolio of listed global infrastructure securities including regulated utilities in gas, electricity and water, transport infrastructure such as airports, ports, road and rail as well as communication assets such as the towers and satellite sectors.

The portfolio is intended to have exposure to both developed and emerging market opportunities, with country risk assessed internally before any investment is considered.

The maximum absolute position of an individual stock is 7% of the fund.
Manager CommentsThe 4D Global Infrastructure Fund was down a net 1.27% (AUD) in February 2021, under-performing the benchmark's return of 0.26% (by 1.53%) but out-performing the FTSE 50/50 Infrastructure Index, which was down 1.74% (AUD). Currency was again a significant detractor in February costing the fund 1.31%.

The strongest performer for February was Mexican airport operator Grupo ASUR +21.4% as vaccines continue to roll out across the globe and the expectation of the resumption of air travel gets closer. The weakest performer in February was Portuguese based renewable operator EDPR down 19.7%. 4D believe this to be profit taking after a very strong run in pure play renewables where they reduced their position on valuation.

4D continue to position for the prevailing economic outlook and infrastructure as a means of a recovery as they continue to capitalize on the raft of opportunities currently on offer.
