UBS Asset Management and CBRE Clarion Securities have launched the UBS Clarion Global Infrastructure Securities Fund designed to provide access to investments with a combination of stability, income and growth that can benefit investors by providing easy access to the infrastructure market and enhanced
diversification.
As demand for stable income and earnings growth increases investors are increasingly interested in infrastructure. Listed infrastructure can mitigate liquidity and accessibility challenges faced by investors in the asset class and complement an overall infrastructure allocation. As an asset class in Asia Pacific
interest in listed infrastructure is growing as investors look for a dynamic portfolio allocation.
Jeremy Anagnos, Clarion’s Chief Investment Officer – Infrastructure is excited to be in Australia to launch the fund saying: “Australia is ahead of the curve in appreciating and understanding the benefits of investing in core infrastructure companies that own long –duration assets via the listed markets”.
Head of UBS Asset Management Bryce Doherty says investors are searching for investment opportunities that provide more certainty, while still providing real growth opportunities. “Global listed infrastructure stocks are especially attractive to income investors in Australia as they have demonstrated consistent
long-term growth with solid yields.”
