Manager CommentsThe 4D Global Infrastructure Fund returned -2.88% in May. Since inception in March 2016, the Fund has risen +10.60% per annum. 4D Infrastructure noted May was a difficult month, driven by macro and political headwinds impacting the portfolio and in particular the Fund's exposure in Italy (election outcome) and Brazil (truck strike).

The strongest performer in May was Chinese gas distributor ENN Energy (+17.4%), driven by continued strong gas demand across China as they continue to promote the move from coal to gas. The second strongest performer was US LNG shipper Cheniere (+14.6%) who is capitalising on this theme, working the meet the strong Chinese and global demand for LNG. The weakest performer was Brazilian toll road operator Ecorodovias (-15.9%), with the stock caught up in the Brazilian trucking strike.

4D Infrastructure noted that, given the global macro environment, they remain overweight user pay assets which have a direct correlation to macro strength. However, ongoing geo-political concerns plus near-term elections sees 4D Infrastructure maintain core exposure to quality defensive utility assets.
