Key Features

Investment objective

The Fund's objective is to identify quality listed global infrastructure securities, trading at or below fair value with sustainable, growing earnings combined with sustainable, growing dividends.

The investment process is designed to take advantage of the best opportunities available in the global market for listed infrastructure securities. It has regard for market conditions and the timing of trade execution, so as to capitalise on price dislocations in the market.

The Fund seeks to deliver returns that outperform the Benchmark (being the OECD G7 inflation index + 5.5% per annum) over the longer term.

Fund strategy

The Fund will be managed as a single portfolio of listed global infrastructure securities. Infrastructure is defined to include regulated utilities in gas, electricity and water; transport infrastructure such as airports, ports, road and rail; as well as communication assets such as the towers and satellite sectors.

The Fund is intended to be truly global with exposure to both developed and emerging market opportunities, with country risk assessed internally before any investment is considered.
