Overview
Description
Argo Global Listed Infrastructure Limited is a listed investment company that provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of global infrastructure securities. Its primary function is to deliver a total return composed of both capital growth and fully franked dividend income, appealing especially to long-term investors seeking stable income and international diversification benefits. The portfolio encompasses 50–70 securities from listed infrastructure companies across various subsectors and geographies, including both developed and emerging economies. To maintain its infrastructure focus, the company invests primarily in entities where at least 70% of revenues or assets are directly tied to the construction, development, financing, or management of essential infrastructure assets, such as utilities, transportation, energy, and communication networks.
Argo Global Listed Infrastructure Limited stands out as the only actively managed, company-structured fund of its kind in Australia capable of distributing franking credits, adding unique tax efficiency for local shareholders. Management of the portfolio is outsourced to a specialist global real assets investment manager, ensuring expertise in security selection and sector allocation. Since its listing in 2015, the company has aimed to offer Australian investors a reliable means to diversify away from domestic equities and access long-life global infrastructure assets, which are traditionally seen as resilient and income-generating even in volatile markets.
