L1 Capital Long Short Fund Limited (ASX: $LSF) is set to host an investor webinar on Thursday, May 30 at 11am (AEST).

Executive Commentary on Market and Economic Outlook

Economic growth forecasts have remained resilient over the past year, with U.S. Real GDP growth forecasts being revised up approximately 100bps year-to-date. The Australian GDP growth, although below long-term trend, is supported by a resilient labor market. Inflation has remained more persistent than expectations but is expected to trend lower over the coming months. Stronger economic growth coupled with persistent inflation has driven a sharp revision in interest rate expectations. Despite the market shrugging off inflation risks and the re-basing of interest rate expectations, equity markets look fully priced at current levels. The portfolio is skewed to lower P/E stocks that have strong earnings growth and robust cashflow generation, positioning the fund strategically amidst the current market conditions.
