As interest rates remain relatively low, and equity markets volatile, many self-managed super fund (SMSF) investors are looking for alternative sources of portfolio returns. Fortunately, SMSFs have a much wider array of investments available to them today than they did even ten years ago.
Traditionally, asset classes such as infrastructure that require large initial investments have been out of reach of many SMSF investors. However, new infrastructure investment products have been coming to market that make it easier to gain exposure to this alternative asset class. This is a boon for SMSFs, particularly given the nature of infrastructure as a long-term investment and how that can align with retirement goals.
What is infrastructure?
Infrastructure refers to the basic physical and organisational structures needed to run a society – this includes toll roads, railways, airports and ports. Also included are telecommunication facilities and power lines.
