Dexus Core Infrastructure Fund
A blend of income and capital growth
Dexus Core Infrastructure Fund (DCIF) provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of Australian and global listed and unlisted infrastructure assets across multiple asset types, sectors and locations. DCIF offers strong risk-adjusted return (income and capital growth) potential, with a low expected correlation to other asset classes, such as equities and bonds.
Unlisted infrastructure assets are generally difficult for investors to access due to the large capital outlay required. However, DCIF removes this barrier to entry by offering investors access to high-quality, unlisted infrastructure assets, usually only available to large institutional investors, but with a low minimum investment amount. The fund takes an integrated approach to building a strategically blended portfolio of unlisted infrastructure assets and listed infrastructure securities in Australia and around the globe. It offers investors access to infrastructure assets across airport, power transmission and distribution, rail, telecommunication, regulated utilities and education sectors, and a total return of income and capital growth.
This fund is suitable for Financial Advisers, Direct and Wholesale Investors.
A portfolio of global
infrastructure assets
Assets such as Melbourne Airport and Powerco are some of the most significant infrastructure assets in their sectors and countries.
Predictable cash flows
with less volatility
The essential services nature of infrastructure assets means that earnings are generally less volatile than equities.
Low correlation to
other asset classes
Infrastructure investment returns generally have a low correlation to other mainstream assets, delivering diversification benefits to your portfolio.

Description of target market for this fund
This product is likely to be appropriate for a consumer seeking capital growth and regular income to be used as a small allocation within a portfolio where the consumer has a medium-to-long investment timeframe and a high-risk/return profile.
-

The fund may be suitable for a consumer with a higher risk profile who can accept higher potential losses (e.g., has the ability to bear up to six negative returns over a 20-year period (SRM 6)) in order to target a higher return.
What are the risks?

-
International investments – risks include exchange rate loss and the risk that political or economic climates may change without notice.

The Fund's risk level is based on the estimated number of negative annual returns for the Fund over any 20-year period and is not a complete assessment of the risks of investing in the Fund. For instance, it does not detail what the size of a negative return could be or the potential for a positive return to be less than an investor may require to meet their objectives. Consequently, before choosing to invest or reinvest in the Fund, you should read the Fund's PDS and incorporated information and consider factors such as the likely investment return, the risks of investing and your investment time frame. Information about the methodology used for calculating the risk level is available here.
