Move toward alternative investments augers well for push into infrastructure

MONEYWEB app instead? ‘If you look at infrastructure investments like renewable assets, they have done very well.’ By Paul Boynton 25 Apr 2021  09:56  Image: Shutterstock According to a new survey by CoreDataResearch Ltd, 40% of the surveyed global institutional investors plan to increase their asset allocation to alternative investments in 2021/2022.  This trend is of local relevance given the proposed changes to Regulation 28 that would allow retirement funds to increase their exposure to infrastructure investments, many of which are in the unlisted space. According to Paul Boynton, CEO of Old Mutual Alternative Investments, the case for retirement funds to hold more of these types of assets is clear. “Given the real-economy linkages and inflation-driven tariffs, like renewable energy assets, infrastructure investments are particularly well suited to a retirement fund liability profile,” says Boynton.
