Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE? For the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Class A shares of ClearBridge Global Infrastructure Income Fund returned 27.54%. The Fund compares its performance to the S&P Global Infrastructure Index, which returned 29.68% for the same period. PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Top contributors to performance: ↑ North American electric utilities were top contributors due to greater electricity demand expected from artificial intelligence (AI) powered data centers. ↑ Entergy, a regulated electric utility provider, rallied on expectations that the company will be a beneficiary of AI and subsequent power demand as well as a solid storm response to Hurricane Francine. ↑ Constellation Energy, primarily a nuclear generation company, has been benefiting from the AI-driven growth in power demand, as part of which it signed a landmark long-term power agreement deal with Microsoft to supply the tech giant with carbon-free power. Top detractors from performance: ↓ The airports sector was the main laggard for the year, with Paris Aéroport (ADP) the top detractor. Airports lagged with cooling sentiment driven by concerns around passenger traffic slowing amid rising costs of living and aircraft supply chain issues affecting delivery of new aircraft to airlines. ↓ West Japan Railway (JR West), one of Japan’s largest passenger railway operators, was weaker amid a jump in the Japanese 10-year bond yields early in the period; Japan’s traffic recovery also plateaued late in the period, weighing on shares. The Fund exited its position during the period. ↓ Toll roads were also a weaker during the period, with Australian toll road Atlas Arteria a main detractor. The company’s key assets consist of various French and U.S. toll roads concessions including Dulles Greenway in Virginia. Its shares weakened after the company failed to reach an outcome with the state of Virginia. Additionally, French companies lost their appeal in the context of the government’s new concession tax, which also led to a drag on earnings. | |
