Property and infrastructure for a sustainable future

Property and infrastructure companies are the essential components that underpin our societies. They are the utilities that power our electric grids, they are the offices and homes we live and work in, the logistics centres we utilise, and the tollroads, railroads and airports we move around with. We invest in these companies for the long-term; we invest with future generations in mind. We aim to steer companies in the right direction because we believe it leads to better investment outcomes. It also says a lot about who we are as investors and the world we are shaping for the future.

Global listed infrastructure –
A safe harbour for investors?

Infrastructure describes the physical assets that provide basic services to modern society, including utilities, transport and communication assets. The fundamental, essential nature of the services provided gives global listed infrastructure qualities that can be beneficial to an investment portfolio.
