Strong yield & potential for capital gains

• While their prices fluctuate, reliable infrastructure stocks are less volatile than other dividend paying stocks as they have sustainable and predictable profit and dividend growth.  Coupled with decades of growing demand for infrastructure, they represent an opportunity for strong yield and capital appreciation.

Inflation protection

• Many infrastructure holdings have direct control of inflation via legislated tariffs.
• These tariffs deal with real cost inflation, rather than CPI and hence offer clearer yield protection than real return bonds.

Variety of risk and return profiles

• Range from low-risk regulated assets to moderate-risk energy projects
• Inflation linked assets
• Less vulnerable to economic cycles

"Sewage isn’t sexy, but now it’s called infrastructure and everyone is investing in it. Inelastic demand for these essential services and inflation linked cash flows are the underpinnings of our investments, so whether you are in a recession or depression, people continue to flush their toilets and take showers…or at least we hope they would"
