  • About this fund

    About this Fund

    The fund invests in shares of listed companies around the world that own or operate infrastructure assets. The infrastructure sector includes operating assets from the transport, utilities, energy, and communications sectors. The assets held by these companies typically offer high barriers to entry, pricing power, and structural growth. The strategy is based on active, bottom-up security selection which seeks to identify mispricing. The fund seeks to minimise risk through on-the-ground research, an emphasis on quality, and sensible portfolio construction. The fund focuses on infrastructure companies that are delivering sustainable solutions from an environmental, social, and economic point of view; and that are seeking to contribute to, or benefit from sustainable development. Currency exposure will be hedged back into New Zealand dollars using forward currency contract derivatives.
