Commenting on the markets, Tom Holl and Mark Hume, representing the Investment Manager noted:
The Company’s three underlying components, Mining, Conventional Energy and Energy Transition, delivered mixed performance during August. Mining was the strongest contributor to returns, followed by Conventional Energy, while Energy Transition exposure detracted from absolute performance.
Within Mining, our gold exposure performed particularly strongly. The gold price rose 9.6% over the month, supported by modest US dollar weakness, inflows into physically backed gold ETFs and ongoing central bank purchases, most notably from the People’s Bank of China. Gold equities provided significant operational leverage to the underlying commodity, delivering a beta of more than 3x relative to the monthly move in the gold price.
Within Conventional Energy, our Refining & Marketing and Distribution exposures were the strongest contributors. Refining margins remained exceptionally robust, driven by tightening product markets. Disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz constrained Middle Eastern product exports, while lower Russian exports and reduced Chinese refinery utilisation further tightened global gasoline and, in particular, diesel supply.
Within Energy Transition, our Renewables exposure experienced a notable pullback, while Electrification and Storage holdings also declined. Renewable energy equities appeared to be held back by rising interest rate expectations, highlighted by a further increase in US 10-year Treasury yields. At the same time, policy uncertainty in the US weighed on investor sentiment, particularly within the solar sector. Changes to federal incentives, tariffs and domestic content requirements reduced visibility around the economics and timing of future projects, creating a more challenging backdrop for the industry.
