Objective and strategy
The investment seeks to provide a high level of current income to shareholders, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its total assets (including assets obtained through borrowings for investment purposes) in electrification infrastructure assets. Electrification infrastructure assets include issuers that derive more than 50% of their revenue from power or electric energy infrastructure operations. “Electrification” refers to the increase and expansion of electric power generation and delivery. The fund is non-diversified.
