Why infrastructure investing is not 'a quick buck'

In this article:

As the government continues to invest heavily in infrastructure development, IFM Investors chief strategy officer Luba Nikulina joins Wealth! to share advice on infrastructure investing for individual investors.

Nikulina defines infrastructure as "physical assets that provide essential services to our economy," emphasizing that they are assets without which our economy cannot function. This category includes sectors such as transportation, utilities, and communications. For investors, she highlights a key benefit: these assets tend to be resilient and also offer inflation-protected cash flows.

Regarding investment strategy, Nikulina advises investors to "combine them and have exposure to different segments" of infrastructure. She stresses the importance of adopting a "long-term horizon" when investing in infrastructure, encouraging investors to think "generations ahead" rather than seeking "a quick buck."
