Macquarie PPM Core Australian Equity Strategy Overview November 2016

Transcription

1 Macquarie PPM Core Australian Equity Strategy Overview November 2016 Macquarie Investment Management Market Overview It was a positive month for the Australian equities market despite a surprise US election result early in the month. There were broad based sector gains with Financials and Banks continuing to perform strongly. Healthcare and Telco s were the only sectors to fall short of positive returns. Global equity markets were once again mixed. The US led global performance as markets surged following the election result despite a strong rise in US bond yields. European equities were down as fears of potential political change continued to overhang performance. Commodity markets surged in November with Iron Ore, Copper, Lead, Zinc and Nickel all rallying strongly. The Oil price also rallied after OPEC agreed to cut production by 1.2m barrels per day, driving the Brent Oil price above $50 per barrel. Precious metals were the exception with the price of Gold falling over the month. In company news, Boral entered into a binding agreement to acquire Headwaters Incorporated. South32 announced it has entered into a binding agreement with Peabody to acquire it Metropolitan Colliery and a 16.7 interest in the Port Kembla Coal terminal. Rio Tinto announced a 5 year US$5bn productivity target. Key detractors to performance included overweight positions in isentia Group and Amcor. isentia Group s share price fell following a downgrade in earnings guidance during the month. Amcor also underperformed during the month, largely due to macroeconomic factors which have negatively impacted global industrial growth stocks. Outlook Uncertainty and volatility are expected to remain in global markets as investors attempt to price the potential impact of rising rates in the US. Commodity prices remain volatile. The outlook for Oil remains robust driven by stable demand and slowing supply. Select bulk commodities continue to rise aggressively thanks to China stimulus and a variety of supply side constraints. On the stock front, quality stocks that miss on earnings expectations are continuing to come under serious pressure. Conversely, value stocks that deliver in-line have performed strongly in recent months. Whilst the challenge of navigating uncertain markets remains, we continue to believe there are significant opportunities for those that know where to look. In the domestic economy, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cash rate remained unchanged at 1.50 consistent with sustainable growth in the economy. Consumer sentiment fell surrounding the US election and the volatility in equity markets. Employment data came in below expectations and wages growth has been persistently low. On a positive note, the unemployment rate and participation rate remained unchanged. Portfolio Highlights The portfolio returned during November, compared to the benchmark which returned The largest positive overweight contributors for this month included positions in AGL Energy, James Hardie Industries Plc and BHP Billiton. AGL Energy outperformed during the month as the company continues to benefit from increased wholesale electricity prices. BHP Billiton also performed well, benefiting from a stronger iron ore price (+17) and oil price (+5) over the month. 1

Rio Tinto announced a 5 year US$5bn productivity target. In the domestic economy, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cash rate remained unchanged at 1.50 consistent with sustainable growth in the economy.

Key overweight detractors to performance at the company level included Tabcorp Holdings, Inghams Group and Woolworths. Inghams Group disappointed over the month, with the share price falling following its initial public offering on 7 th November. Woolworths also underperformed following the surprise resignation of Big W CEO Sally Macdonald from the business. Outlook Uncertainty and volatility are expected to remain in global markets as investors attempt to price the potential impact of rising rates in the US. Commodity prices remain volatile.

We established a new investment in media company, FXJ, on valuation grounds, following recent share price weakness. We believe the Domain real estate classifieds business remains the key growth engine of FXJ and will offset the structural weakness in its traditional publishing assets. We established a new investment in NZ telecommunications infrastructure owner, CNU, following a review of the yield exposures in the portfolio. CNU is currently rolling out the fibre network in NZ. As CNU s capex winds down in the coming years, we expect strong free cash flow generation and hence strong medium-term dividend growth. We exited the investment in funds management business, PPT, following a review of the yield exposures within the portfolio. We see greater dividend volatility moving forward, given the link through to underlying equity markets and PPT s high payout ratio. We exited the holding in global insurance business, QBE, on risk management grounds. We see potential downside risk to FY17 earnings from lower premium rates and softening LMI. Recent management change in the Australian business also leaves us cautious. We have trimmed our material overweight to wagering business, TAH, on risk management grounds, following the proposed merger with TTS. We view the transaction favourably, but note regulatory approvals are yet to be obtained.

20 Macquarie PPM REIT Strategy Overview November 2016 Macquarie Investment Management Market Overview The S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT (TR) index returned 0.8 in November, below the S&P/ASX 200, which was up 3.0. Year to date, the REIT sector has returned 5.3, outperforming the market by 2.6. Globally, REITs returned 2.2 this month (USD terms) and 2.4 year to date. Bond yields rose during the month, with the Australian government 10-year bond yield rising to It was a positive month for the Australian equities market despite a surprise US election result early in the month. There were broad based sector gains with Financials and Banks continuing to perform strongly. Healthcare and Telcos were the only sectors to fall short of positive returns. Global equity markets were once again mixed. The US led global performance as markets surged following the election result despite a strong rise in US bond yields. European equities were down as fears of potential political change continued to overhang performance. Commodity markets surged in November with Iron Ore, Copper, Lead, Zinc and Nickel all rallying strongly. The Oil price also rallied after OPEC agreed to cut production by 1.2m barrels per day, driving the Brent Oil price above $50 per barrel. Precious metals were the exception with the price of Gold falling over the month. In company news, Boral entered into a binding agreement to acquire Headwaters Incorporated. South32 announced it has entered into a binding agreement with Peabody to acquire its Metropolitan Colliery and a 16.7 interest in the Port Kembla Coal terminal. Rio Tinto announced a 5 year US$5bn productivity target. In the domestic economy, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cash rate remained unchanged at 1.50 consistent with sustainable growth in the economy. Consumer sentiment fell surrounding the US election and the volatility in equity markets. Employment data came in below expectations and wages growth has been persistently low. On a positive note, the unemployment rate and participation rate remained unchanged. Portfolio Highlights The portfolio returned during November, compared to the benchmark which returned The largest positive overweight contributors for this month included positions in Dexus Property Group and GPT Group. Dexus Property Group outperformed over the month due to continued strength in Sydney office leasing conditions. Key overweight detractors to performance at the company level included Viva Energy REIT Ltd, Goodman Group and Stockland Corporation Ltd. Stockland underperformed as it has been caught up in the negative headlines surrounding housing prices. Outlook With the sector trading at approximately -5.0 discount to NAV and 16.4x forward earnings, we believe the sector is still attractive. The average DPU yield of 5.2 is 2.5 greater than the 10 yr bond yield (currently 2.7). We continue to feel the sector is well positioned to take advantage of any opportunities that arise and feel their stable (and growing) yield offers an attractive investment in the current low growth, low interest rate world. Despite the strong run, we see good value in the sector. 1
