THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN IS FULL OF INVESTMENT POTENTIAL
Sometimes the best investment ideas are right in front of you. Look around: The world is growing at an amazing pace. Over the next 30 years, global infrastructure expenditure is projected to be in the trillions of dollars.*
Governments are increasingly turning to private enterprise to help create new infrastructure. These are the things society can’t do without: schools and hospitals; highways, railways and bridges; energy and utility companies; airports and communications services. All massive projects. And all potentially very profitable.
Investing in the AMP Capital Core Infrastructure Fund provides you with access to these tangible, essential infrastructure services throughout the world.
An attractive investment, with lower volatility.
Sitting quite apart from the world of shares and bonds, infrastructure offers something these investments can’t, and that is lower volatility. So if you’ve been thinking about diversifying your portfolio, the AMP Capital Core Infrastructure Fund could provide a good solution. Infrastructure offers other benefits:
- Predictable, long-term cash flows. Infrastructure investments typically operate in very regulated environments, with high barriers to entry (such as a monopoly), so earnings can be reasonably predictable.
- Inflation-linked revenue or income. Because these assets often have pricing or revenue structures linked to movements in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) they can be an effective hedge against inflation.
- Long-term horizons. These are typically long-term assets with a life expectancy of 30-50 years or more.
A mix of listed and unlisted assets.
The AMP Capital Core Infrastructure Fund invests in global infrastructure both directly and indirectly and aims for a 50/50 split between listed and unlisted infrastructure assets.
- The listed component provides higher liquidity, so you can access your money within a shorter time frame than if invested only in unlisted infrastructure assets.
- The unlisted component provides direct access into mature infrastructure investments. These tend to be more predictable in income with the potential for strong returns from capital growth.
The defensiveness of infrastructure.

Global infrastructure – managed by an Australian you can trust.
While infrastructure may be a relatively recent asset class for most investors, AMP Capital has been investing in infrastructure since 1988.
With over 45 investment professionals in our dedicated infrastructure team, AMP Capital now manages over $4.4 billion† in infrastructure assets in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Europe.
Our global presence means we have eight offices in five countries around the world. We’re always looking out for the best opportunities in the evolving world of infrastructure, and we bring these to you along with a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
In fact, AMP Capital recently received the 2008 Rainmaker Award for ‘Best New Investment Product of the Year’ for the AMP Capital Core Infrastructure Fund.
