Introducing Lion Capital Asia Infrastructure FundBy dollarDEX.com
Infrastructure is one way to tap into Asia's growth. To sustain growth over the long term, considerable investment in roads, railways, ports, water and energy supply and telephone lines is required. Investment in these areas enables a country to run efficiently and productively, and boost the economic conditions favourable for further growth. Currently, governments in Asia are spending significantly on quality infrastructure to increase their country's competitiveness, so as to facilitate trade and attract businesses and private investments.
Infrastructure assets also promise sustainable returns as they are essential services, and therefore less adversely impacted by economic cycles. They tend to be highly regulated by governments, providing greater investment protection. In addition, investment in infrastructure covers a wide range of sectors, providing further diversification for your portfolio. Lion Capital Asia Infrastructure Fund aims for medium to long-term capital appreciation by investing in the securities of Asian corporations in infrastructure-related businesses. These include utilities, communications, telecommunications, transportation, construction, engineering works, real estate, and any substantial spending by a country in physical infrastructure development. The manager of the fund is Lim Fang Suan. Fang Suan joined Lion Capital Management Limited as an Associate Director in 2007. He is the country specialist for Thailand and Vietnam. Prior to joining Lion Capital, he was with AGF Asset Management Asia Limited as a Director (Investment Management) since June 2005. Fang Suan graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (Honours) and is a Chartered Financial Analyst. Lion Capital are positive on the outlook for the Asian infrastructure sector, as rapid growth in Asian economies is fueling the need to upgrade infrastructure such as transport, water, utility and telecommunication. This is driven by increasing urban populations. China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore infrastructure related sectors are expected to be strong.
