Navigating the rate-hike cycle
Historically, infrastructure stocks are among the top performers within equity sectors in rate-hike cycles2. However, the share of infrastructure equities in global portfolios have remained low in general. For example, utilities and real estate account for about 6% of the MSCI World Index3. In our view, adding the infrastructure sector to a portfolio could help manage current elevated inflationary pressures.
