Infrastructure is the backbone of modern society. It is also a unique asset class that can bring durable rewards to investors. By investing in the equities of listed infrastructure operators, such as electricity networks, toll roads, and other essential assets and related services, investors gain exposure to predictable long-term earnings streams. This earnings stability typically enables the asset class to deliver clear benefits: diversification, low volatility, inflation protection, and yield. But not all infrastructure is created equal. Our strict definition of preferred infrastructure has been critical to the long-term success of the pioneering Lazard Global Listed Infrastructure Fund that is now available to investors as an ETF (Cboe: GIFL).

The Lazard Global Listed Infrastructure Fund launched in 2005, making it one of the first-ever listed infrastructure strategies in the market globally. Our unique preferred infrastructure-based approach has been successfully implemented by predominantly the same team over almost two decades. The team includes six experienced, specialist investors, based in Sydney, New York, and London.
