In this podcast, Ben McVicar, portfolio manager at Australian-based Magellan Asset Management, provides an overview of the philosophy and process behind Magellan's infrastructure proposition.
He outlines the importance of global infrastructure securities in diversifying an investor portfolio, he examines the issue of liquidity in the markets and how listed infrastructure has matured as an asset class since the global financial crisis.
Ben provides an outlook for the asset class, outlines the potential tailwinds and headwinds it may face, and how Magellan is positioning its portfolio as a result.
