Colonial First State Global Asset Management's capability in global listed infrastructure securities was established in early 2007. Global listed infrastructure securities offers investors the potential for capital growth and inflation-protected income. Global listed infrastructure securities are not dependent on economic cycles which, combined with the sector’s low correlation with more traditional asset classes, makes global listed infrastructure securities an attractive investment proposition.

About infrastructure
Infrastructure describes the physical assets that provide essential services to society. These include toll roads, airports, ports, water, gas and electric utilities, energy pipelines and storage, and communication towers. These assets can provide investors with attractive characteristics such as high barriers to entry, pricing power, sustainable growth and predictable cash flows.

Outlook
The long-term outlook for the global listed infrastructure securities sector is positive, given the strong underlying demand for these essential services after many decades of underinvestment. Colonial First State Global Asset Management’s global listed infrastructure securities team is well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities with its pragmatic investment style, absolute return focus and specialised knowledge.
