The HALO trade and its growing relevance in today’s landscape
Wednesday 27 May from 1.00-2.00pm AEST
This webinar explores the “HALO trade” — Heavy Assets, Low Obsolescence — and its growing relevance in today’s investment landscape. As higher interest rates, geopolitical shifts and supply chain realignment reshape markets, capital-intensive industries are regaining prominence. We will examine how infrastructure, energy systems and industrial capacity create durable barriers to entry and long-term value. Attendees will gain insight into the structural drivers behind this shift and how global markets provide access to companies underpinning the physical foundations of economic growth.
