Hi Michael,
The key is largely interest rates which are set to fall in most countries, though it’s also important that employment remains solid.
- We are bullish towards the Australian and US housing/construction sectors with interest rates due to fall, albeit at different rates and pent up demand for building.
- Similarly, we like the Australian and US real estate sectors having purchased GPT Group (GPT) and Mirvac (MGR) for our Active Growth Portfolio in July & August.
We own Blackstone (BX US) in our International Equities Portfolio, and if we had to highlight one diverse ‘go to’ global operation that will capture global trends, we’d highlight them.
