Who we are

Who we are

Infrastructure forms the basis of modern society, providing necessary services for the stability and growth of the economy. Naturally resilient, infrastructure assets can generate inflation-linked, long-dated and sustainable earnings growth through the economic cycles.

Listed infrastructure can offer immediate and liquid access to core infrastructure assets and the potentially attractive risk adjusted returns could provide diversification to a balanced portfolio.

Income/Inflation protection

Growth from Transitions
Sectors such as renewable energy, electric mobility, and digital infrastructure offer long-term capital growth opportunities tied to global transformation.

Growth opportunities

Potentially Attractive Risk Profile

Listed infrastructure has historically shown lower volatility and stronger downside protection compared to broader equity markets potentially supporting portfolio resilience.

The listed infrastructure equity asset class provides access to the companies that develop, operate, and maintain the essential systems powering modern life—spanning energy, transportation, and digital connectivity.

  • Risk Considerations: There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective or will work under all market conditions. The value of investments may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Portfolios may be subject to certain additional risks, which should be considered carefully along with their investment objectives and fees.
  • Illiquidity: An investment in alternatives is a long term illiquid investment. By their nature, the alternatives’ investments will not generally be exchange traded. These investments will be illiquid.
  • Long term horizon: Investors should expect to be locked-in for the full term of the investment
  • Economic conditions: The economic cycle and prevailing interest rates will impact the attractiveness of the underlying investments. Economic activity and sentiment also impacts the performance of underlying companies, and will have a direct bearing on the ability of companies to keep up with interest and principal repayments.
  • Valuation: These investments may have no or a limited liquid market, and other investments including those in respect of loans and securities of private companies, may be based on estimates which cannot be marked to market until sale. The valuation of the underlying investments is therefore inherently opaque.
  • Strategy Risk: Investments into alternatives may, among other risks, be negatively affected by adverse regulatory developments or reform, credit risk and counterparty risk. The credit market bears idiosyncratic risks such as borrower fraud, borrower bankruptcy, prepayment risk, security enforceability risk, subordination risk and lender liability risk.
  • Investor’s Capital At Risk: Investors may lose the entirety of invested capital
