How the fund is managed:
- The fund manager maximises the benefits of proprietary research and expertise to identify, select and invest in desirable companies with an infrastructure theme, including a focus on stocks whose dividend income can enhance portfolio returns
- When deciding to invest, the manager seeks out profitable companies that have attractive growth characteristics, solid balance sheets and strong cash flow generation and a history of dividend growth. Infrastructure companies enjoy high barriers to entry, pricing power and attractive yields, plus support from government spending and demographic trends.
Reasons to recommend
Diverse investment opportunities
The Fund invests in equities across the energy, utilities, industrial infrastructure, transportation and communications sectors, all of which can offer steady, sustainable growth. The Fund may be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years.
Long-term growth
Companies in this sector continue to benefit from an expected increase in global infrastructure spending in the next 20 years, which means they should be well placed to provide stable and attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns often with a lower correlation to the broader stock markets.
Experienced investment team
Managed by GLC Asset Management Group in Canada, the management team has more than 20 years’ of success managing global, specialty and yield-oriented equity funds using quantitative techniques and strategies.
The value of investments may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested.
