reduce interest rates in Brazil benefi ted toll roads, while Europe − US infrastructure companies continue to benefi t from structural
growth (reinvestment in ageing networks, government privatisation and mobile data usage) and an economic recovery. − Recently the market has rewarded companies that have increased

with strong balance sheets, means this trend is likely to continue. Asset allocation (%)
