This fund is designed for investors who wish to invest in a broad spread of global infrastructure and infrastructure-like investments that achieve a strong level of dividend, good inflation linkage and potential for further capital growth over time. The fund will also have a strong Environment Social and Governance process, and will deliver a range of positive impacts on the world, and in particular will be carbon negative i.e. it will withdraw more carbon from the atmosphere than it generates.

The fund is designed to achieve both strong investment returns and high positive impact, and will appeal to investors seeking to counterbalance high carbon emissions in other parts of their portfolio.

The Investment Manager has selected infrastructure investments that provide high levels of dividend income, are broadly diversified across geography and infrastructure asset class, and have high levels of inflation linkage.

The fund assets typically provide social infrastructure (schools, hospitals, bridges), renewable energy infrastructure, economic infrastructure (roads, trains, digital assets) and infrastructure-like investments (sectors that provide similar investment characteristics such as stable income, reasonably predictable cashflow and ESG alignment with the infrastructure assets within the fund). Forestry is a typical infrastructure-like asset held by the fund.

The fund has a high level of positive impact, therefore it is part of the solution to climate crisis, rather than part of the problem.
