We love talking about the amazing companies that our members' KiwiSaver money is invested in.
One of the standout performers in our New Zealand equities portfolio is Infratil, a leader in sustainable infrastructure investing.
Who are Infratil?
Established in New Zealand in 1994, Infratil was one of the world’s first listed infrastructure investment companies. Its early investments included renewable energy firm Trustpower and a shareholding in Wellington Airport.
Today, Infratil has evolved to prioritise investment in projects that they believe have a high rate of expected growth, and can drive positive change in society and the environment.
Why we like Infratil
Diversified investments
Infratil has diversified its investments across various sectors, including healthcare, digital infrastructure, and renewable energy. Its wide array of assets includes One NZ, Manawa Energy (the generation arm of Trustpower, focused on renewable energy), Longroad Energy (a US-based renewable energy developer focused on wind and solar), and CDC (a data centre developer and owner). Our fund manager Mint Asset Management (Mint), has included Infratil as a core holding in our portfolio for a long time, thanks to this diversified mix of investments, a strong management team, and solid share price growth over the long-term.
