Infrastructure securities fund
Overview
AMP Capital's infrastructure securities fund provides investors with the opportunity to benefit from the expected long term global growth in infrastructure, and the return potential associated with infrastructure assets. The fund focuses on companies that own and operate infrastructure assets, derive most of their cash flow from those assets, and have liquid market listings on major global stock exchanges.
Investments are diversified across geographic regions and infrastructure sectors, with a focus on four major sectors:
- energy - including electricity transmission and distribution, and oil and gas transportation and storage
- transportation - including toll roads, airports and ports
- communication, and
- water
Key benefits
The key benefits of our infrastructure securities fund include:
- investment in assets fundamental to a country’s economic development
- the potential for medium to high returns (both income and capital growth) over the long term
- diversification provided by exposure to a range of infrastructure sectors across geographic regions
- exposure to cashflows generated by infrastructure assets that can act as an inflation hedge
- access to the expertise of the Fund’s investment team, made up of on the ground regional specialists, and
- access to the broader infrastructure experience and resources of AMP Capital and its affiliates.
On-the-ground sector and geographic infrastructure investment specialists interact to understand local dynamics and identify regional investment opportunities. The team also draws on the resources and taps into the market intelligence of the wider AMP Capital.
