AMP Capital Core Infrastructure Fund voted Best New Investment Product of the Year by financial research and media group, Rainmaker.
The AMP Capital Core Infrastructure Fund offers investors the opportunity to invest in a diverse range of infrastructure assets. These range from airports and toll roads to power facilities and hospitals - assets that otherwise may be difficult for individual investors to access.
Managed by a leading Australian infrastructure team, the Fund is structured to provide income and capital growth and is diversified across asset type, asset lifecycles and location.
And, because the Fund invests in listed infrastructure stocks as well as physical infrastructure assets, investors have more flexibility to access their money than is usual for infrastructure investment.
Additionally, returns from the Fund are expected to move independently of the returns from other asset classes such as shares and bonds, providing an added layer of diversification.
AMP Capital has been investing in infrastructure since 1988. Since that time our market presence and reputation has grown substantially and we have developed a key set of philosophies that guide our investment decisions. In line with these, our infrastructure investments must contain a majority of the following characteristics:
Provide or facilitate the provision of essential services
Monopolistic characteristics or significant barriers to entry that create a sustainable competitive advantage
Low inherent operating risk and volatility
Low counterparty risk - that is, low risk of not receiving income or of having a volatile income
Predictable, long term, inflation linked cash flows
