Global Equities strategy

Magellan’s Global Equities strategy offers investors the opportunity to invest in a specialised and focused global equity portfolio. The Global Equities strategy’s investment objective is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns over the medium to long term while reducing the risk of permanent capital loss. The strategy aims to deliver 9% p.a net of fees over the economic cycle. To achieve this, Magellan undertakes rigorous company research to identify what it assesses to be high-quality companies with enduring competitive advantages. This, combined with an assessment of the macroeconomic environment and a disciplined risk-controlled approach to portfolio construction, results in a focused portfolio of high-quality global equity stocks.

The Global Equities strategy is available in listed and unlisted form and where foreign currency exposures are hedged, unhedged or at the discretion of the manager.

Global Infrastructure strategy

Magellan’s Global Infrastructure strategy offers investors the opportunity to invest in a specialised and focused global listed infrastructure portfolio the aim of which is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns over the medium to long term while reducing the risk of permanent capital loss.

Magellan believes that infrastructure assets, with requisite earnings reliability and a linkage of earnings to inflation, offer an attractive, long-term investment proposition. Magellan has established a proprietary classification criteria to define infrastructure which seeks to identify outstanding companies that exhibit reliable demand and stable cash flow generation.  Importantly, these criteria exclude companies where Magellan has assessed their earnings to have material direct exposure to commodity prices, competitive pressure or sovereign risk. We believe applying a disciplined, clearly defined set of parameters to capture the desired characteristics of infrastructure provides a solid framework for generating attractive, stable returns over the long term.

The Global Infrastructure strategy is available in listed and unlisted form and where foreign currency exposures are hedged or unhedged.

    Investing in toll roads

    While we tend to think of toll roads as a recent phenomenon, they have been around for thousands of years. Toll roads today are a popular way for cash-strapped governments to raise money and improve the quality of, and reduce the congestion on road networks. Given the huge capital costs (toll roads often cost billions of dollars to build), for most investors the listed market is the only way to gain access to these assets.
