Australian superannuation and financial services company Future Group has partnered with Aberdeen Investments to invest in global infrastructure, including an allocation to the UK-based asset manager’s global sustainable infrastructure strategy.
The partnership will target essential infrastructure, including social and affordable housing and healthcare, as well as cleaner transport and urban assets designed to support connected communities.
Future Group will also commit an unspecified amount of capital to Aberdeen’s Global Sustainable Infrastructure strategy, which focuses on greenfield concession and public-private partnership-style investments.
Sameer Amin, managing partner, concession infrastructure at Aberdeen Investments, said: “For institutional investors seeking long-dated, inflation-linked cashflows, exposure to essential public assets and diversification away from traditional markets, concession infrastructure presents a compelling opportunity.
“Over the past 25 years, we have invested in approximately 140 concession infrastructure projects worldwide on behalf of our clients, supporting essential public services ranging from transportation to the energy transition. We are pleased to partner with Future Group to help meet both their investment objectives and sustainability ambitions.”
David Allen, deputy CIO for private markets at Future Group, said: “Creating a sustainable and equitable world is central to our mission of building a future worth retiring into. Aberdeen’s deep expertise and strong track record in real assets and concession infrastructure align closely with our investment philosophy and sustainability objectives.
“We look forward to working together to deliver long-term value for both our members and society.”
