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 rose +1.34% in December, taking 12-month performance to +29.38% and annualised performance since inception in March 2016 to +14.33%.

The strongest portfolio performer for the month was Brazilian renewable player AES Tiete up 28.1%. 4D noted the company is successfully executing its diversification strategy. The Fund's top performer over CY2019 was Cellnex, up +99% as it successfully executed its growth strategy.

The weakest performer in December was Chilean water operator Aguas Andinas, down -3% as a result of ongoing political concerns. The Fund's weakest performer over CY2019 was global port operator DPWorld, down -21% as trade wars and political conflict weighed on the stock. 4D believe DPWorld is offering very attractive value at current levels.

4D Infrastructure noted 2019 was a strong year for the infrastructure sector as well as for the portfolio. Heading into 2020, with a macro backdrop of slower growth and lower interest rates (but no imminent recession), the portfolio remains overweight user pay assets and overweight emerging markets. 4D's biggest concern remains ongoing geopolitical issues compounded by the 2020 US election.
