MUNRO GLOBAL GROWTH FUNDConclusion

Positive returns for the quarter, with the Munro Global Growth Fund returning 4.0% compared to the MSCI AC World TR Index (AUD) returning 1.5%.

Sentiment indicators continue to improve pointing to better economic growth ahead, while interest rates remain supportive of further economic growth.

Assuming growth improves, earnings have room to inflect higher. Higher earnings contrasted against full but not expensive valuations should be mildly supportive of equity markets over the medium term. 

Our investment process at Munro continues to identify winners from evolving structural forces in the economy. Our work on investment winners of the Artificial Intelligence revolution has yielded some good winners around ‘compute’ year to date and we have recently expanded our work in this area to focus on the ‘data’ side of the equation.
