4D Infrastructure’s Chief Investment Officer and Global Portfolio Manager, Sarah Shaw, speaks with Bennelong Funds Management’s Jodie Saw about the impact changing interest rates and inflation can have on infrastructure; and the opportunities presented in the asset class.

“Given the distinct features of varied infrastructure assets, with active management a listed infrastructure equity portfolio can be positioned to take advantage of the long-term structural opportunity set, as well as whatever near-term cyclical events may prevail – whether they be environmental, political, economic or social.”

This episode covers:

• How exposure to infrastructure can be adjusted according to interest rates and inflation
• Why the current equity market volatility is showing a disconnect to company fundamentals (and where the opportunities are)
• Why 4D continues to like emerging markets over the long term
• How the portfolio could be positioned in a stagflation or recessionary environment
• The ongoing, critical need for global infrastructure spend
