Palisade defines infrastructure as assets providing essential facilities and services necessary for the efficient functioning of economies. High quality infrastructure assets are both essential to the efficient functioning of the communities they serve and also add genuine value for investors.

Infrastructure revenue streams can be economic, contracted or regulated. In each case, the key business and financial fundamentals need to be satisfied for an asset to be considered for inclusion within an infrastructure portfolio.

Palisade's unlisted investment funds and direct investment mandates aim to produce attractive, inflation-linked returns at moderate levels of risk. We believe that diversification through a well-constructed portfolio will optimise risk-weighted returns for investors.
