DATE
Ausbil Investment Management continues to hold BHP (ASX: BHP) as its largest overweight position because it believes the long-term tailwinds for metals and critical minerals are substantial. Ausbil highlights electrification, decarbonisation, data centre and electricity grid construction, manufacturing onshoring, increased defence spending and the rebuilding of war-torn regions as structural themes requiring large volumes of steel and copper that are likely to persist for many years. The manager describes BHP as a low-cost producer of both copper and iron ore that is exceptionally well managed and committed to substantial dividends. While BHP is typically a significant position, its overweight is currently at its largest, aided by the recently paid dividend.
