“TRUE Infrastructure strives to provide wholesale investors access to a portfolio of high-quality infrastructure assets across the Transport, Renewables, Utilities, and Energy sectors.
With continued volatility in global economies and inflation emerging as a key investment theme, we believe a portfolio of defensive infrastructure assets with a low correlation to GDP and relatively high correlation to inflation is a compelling proposition for investors.
TRUE Infrastructure Fund has generated strong returns for ten months up to 30 September 2021, with 9.45% after-fees (including cash distributions and franking credits).”
Mike Fitzpatrick, Chairman & Founder, TRUE Infrastructure
