Investment Strategy

   What's this?
The investment seeks total return. The fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities issued by listed infrastructure companies that are subject to the sub-advisor's sustainable investing strategy. It invests primarily in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium, or large) and invests in both value and growth securities. The fund also invests in REITs but only those REITs that are engaged in the development, operation, or management of infrastructure assets. It is non-diversified.

Total Returns



Investment results shown represent historical performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal values fluctuate with changes in interest rates and other market conditions so the value, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original costs. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data shown.

In situations where the net and gross total investment expense figures are different, the mutual fund or the underlying fund in which a Separate Account invests has waived/capped a portion of its management fees through the date displayed in the waiver expiration date or contractual cap expiration date column. Differences may also be shown due to the fund family choosing to pay certain expenses that would normally be payable by the fund. Returns displayed are based on net total investment expense.
