Intrust Super CEO Brendan O’Farrell said: “Engaging a skilled and experienced investor such as Redpoint is central to the ongoing success of our investment strategy. We are very confident that our decision to invest with Redpoint’s Global Listed Infrastructure strategy provides the opportunity to achieve a great risk-adjusted return for Intrust members.”
Intrust Super has been managing the retirement savings of Australians in the hospitality, clubs, and tourism related industries since 1988.

Redpoint CEO Tim Batho said: “We are delighted that an award-winning industry fund like Intrust Super has entrusted Redpoint with some of its members’ savings. We take great pride in using our diverse team experience to deliver investment solutions that benefit our clients.

“Underpinning Redpoint’s business approach is a shared vision of how we can use our global investment capabilities to design and deliver scalable, well-engineered, risk focused and cost efficient solutions. The Redpoint Global Listed Infrastructure strategy is a good illustration, seeking to take a holistic view of the asset class to achieve its investment objective of capturing the diversifying characteristics of global infrastructure.”

Redpoint will manage the global shares strategy within the popular, lower cost MLC Index Plus portfolios and will also manage a currency overlay strategy as part of the overall mandate.

Redpoint CEO Tim Batho said: “We are delighted to be awarded this significant mandate from MLC. This is another clear demonstration of Redpoint’s investment management capabilities and our focus on designing and delivering investment strategies across developed and emerging equity markets.”

Rather than simple index replication, Redpoint’s index management approach uses a range of strategies designed to enhance returns while capturing the risk characteristics of the chosen index.  Redpoint’s managed turnover approach helps reduce the impact of transaction costs and taxation.

MLC Global Equities Portfolio Manager Myooran Mahalingam said: “We’re pleased to have appointed Redpoint to manage the global shares strategy in MLC Index Plus given the quality and experience of the investment team, which is led by Chief Investment Officer, Eric Smith.

“Their mandate will give investors exposure to a much wider range of share market opportunities, including those in fast-growing emerging markets.”

The Fund, which aims to deliver a long-term stable return for investors at a low cost by investing in a well-diversified portfolio of listed global infrastructure companies, has been made available to the retail market following its launch in the institutional space in 2012.

Redpoint CEO Tim Batho said, “Traditionally, investing in infrastructure has been the domain of large corporate investors like super funds rather than individual investors. Given the benefits of investing in infrastructure can include a steady income stream, inflation protection and diversification, three characteristics especially appealing to today’s investors, it was compelling for us to make it available to the retail market.

“The Fund typically invests in 100-120 listed infrastructure companies from right across the globe, which gives us a broader universe to seek opportunities and importantly reduce risk.”

Since inception in 2012, the Redpoint Global Infrastructure Fund has delivered net returns of 18.69% per annum*.

NAB Asset Management Head of Retail Sales Jason Huddy said, “We are pleased to be making the Redpoint Global Infrastructure Fund accessible to the retail market. Giving advisers and investors access to high quality funds to grow wealth and build robust portfolios is our priority, and the Redpoint Global Infrastructure Fund is another key addition to our offer.”

The Redpoint Global Infrastructure Fund is available via direct investment and is also offered through the MLC Wrap platform.
