Investment markets powered ahead during August. Most markets gained between 2% and 3% for the month of August.
Posted: September 17, 2021Investment markets powered ahead during August. Most markets gained between 2% and 3% for the month of August, with listed REITs and Australian small cap stocks achieving the strongest returns for the month. Listed companies reported solid earnings and a benign profit outlook, with a number of companies looking to increase dividend payouts, make special dividends or return cash to investors via stock buybacks.
The Funds are invested a little below their neutral growth positioning, which held-back returns a little. However, each Fund still achieved solid gains for the month of August, and returns over longer periods are well above the funds’ inflation-relative objectives.
Below are the links to the Fund Updates for the Pro-D Funds as at 31 August 2021.
