    IAF: Risk-Reward Looks Better, But Limited Incentive Otherwise

    seekingalpha.com

    2025-01-02 19:52:13

    The abrdn Australia Equity Fund's performance over the last 7 months has been quite lackluster and in contrast to the performance in the preceding 6 months. Australia's macroeconomic backdrop looks troubling with the recent weakness in the Aussie dollar prompting another spanner in the works. The fund's current discount to NAV is attractive by historical standards at -10.66%, but we have concerns over the fund's lack of distribution growth.

    IAF has outperformed its EAFE benchmark by 800bps over the past 6 months, generating returns of over 24% in total. Recently revised inflation expectations, and the higher-for-longer rate stance is not likely to reflect well on household finances and Australian banks which dominate IAF. Valuations of IAF are now pricey, and it has now reached a price terrain which previously served as resistance.
