Highlight the benefits of investing infrastructure and property.

AMP Capital has launched a new campaign to highlight the benefits of investing in ‘real assets’ such as infrastructure and property in an SMSF portfolio.

Some SMSF trustees and their advisers limit their investment choices to assets such as direct investment in residential property as well as cash and term deposits, Australian shares and fixed income.

AMP Capital believes that SMSF trustees and their advisers can often improve their portfolio construction by considering a broader range of real assets, including infrastructure and other types of property.

The SMSF microsite is designed for use by SMSF advisers with their clients and highlights other investment options that could be part of an SMSF investment mix.

 

Benefits of infrastructure and property investments

AMP Capital’s Head of Retail Craig Keary said: “With cash rates declining, SMSF investors are looking for other options to ensure their long term savings and retirement needs will be met.

“Investing in real assets such as property and infrastructure can provide opportunities to access predictable and regular income while diversifying the SMSF investments by accessing unique investment opportunities.

“AMP Capital has used its deep investment expertise to develop a dedicated website to educate SMSF investors and their advisers on the benefits of diversifying their portfolio and investing in infrastructure and property.

“AMP Capital has specialist investment products in these areas to suit the needs of SMSF trustees, and we’re looking to develop more in the future,” he said.
