“The growth opportunity is still largely underappreciated. We see five key growth dynamics within the infrastructure space that are … completely immune to the short-term economic events. So while we do have a great deal of volatility in the market at the moment, and a great deal of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, these growth thematics underpin the infrastructure investment case and are going nowhere, regardless of what happens in the short term.”
0:43 —Infrastructure’s growth opportunities beyond the short-term volatility 3:45 – How technology and AI are shaping the infrastructure sector 7:00 – 4D’s approach to dealing with policy and regulation 9:37 – Capturing and mitigating investment risk in the current economic landscape

“For many of our investees, it seems sentiment is ruling the day. Further volatility seems likely, particularly as sentiment about the direction of interest rates waxes and wanes. However, it’s earnings that will ultimately decide value and where share prices settle. For us, the most important thing is to continue investing in sectors and stocks where earnings will continue to grow.”

“In Australia, consumer spending, historically, has been about 50% of GDP. This year it's been closer to 80% of GDP growth. There seems to be a view that, well, the RBA’s … more or less done what it’s gonna do. I think what the market's missing, though, is there's a huge lag from when the RBA increases rates to when households actually have to pay the higher interest rates.”
