Ausbil’s investment process aims to exploit the inefficiencies within the global listed infrastructure universe by conducting a detailed fundamental analysis that comprises both a long-term cash flow valuation and a thorough analysis of the quality of the company.

Overview

Ausbil’s investment process aims to exploit the inefficiencies within the global listed infrastructure universe by conducting a detailed fundamental analysis that comprises both a long-term cash flow valuation and a thorough analysis of the quality of the company. The investment strategy uses both qualitative and quantitative analysis and tools, alongside a disciplined risk management process, with the aim of producing consistent and risk controlled outperformance.

Ausbil’s sustainable approach to investing initially excludes companies that have material exposure to ‘controversial activities’. Ausbil then applies its proprietary environmental, social (including labour standards) and corporate governance (ESG) analysis using both in-house research and external sources of research to determine the sustainability profile of remaining companies. The Fund can invest in companies that are determined by Ausbil to have relatively good sustainability profiles.

Please see the Fund’s Controversial Activity Exclusion Policy for further information on controversial activities, including direct and indirect examples, and the material threshold that is applied to each activity.

Fund returns are net of fees and interest, but before taxes and assumes reinvestment of distributions. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The benchmark is the OECD G7 CPI Index plus 5.5% per annum, which is an accumulation index maintained by Ausbil. Since inception date is 18 December 2018. The Fund’s reference index is the FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure 50/50 Hedged to AUD Net Tax Index. Although the Fund is not managed to this reference index, Ausbil believe the reference index a more widely recognised global listed infrastructure index for investors and so is more useful for comparison and reference purposes.
