Infrastructure - Having you cake and eating it too

Infrastructure has a physical presence, just like real estate. It has bond-like cashflows and can provide regular income while being less sensitive to economic cycles than shares and real estate. And it offers capital growth potential, with historical growth rates sitting somewhere between those for shares and property. With infrastructure, you really can have your cake (income) and eat it too (capital growth).

THE TIME IS RIGHT
This is the perfect environment for infrastructure investment. The consistent cash flows associated with infrastructure assets allow regular income to be paid, even as interest rates are falling around the world.

The cashflows generated by infrastructure assets are stable and long-term, and we know that predictability and consistency are more important to investors now than they ever have been. The capital growth profile of infrastructure assets has always been attractive, but prospects are even stronger now that global markets have fallen leaving some superb assets very undervalued.

On top of all that, the likelihood that governments will increase infrastructure spending to boost employment means that infrastructure is receiving increasing attention.
