The Global Infrastructure Income Strategy invests in global listed infrastructure companies with a combined focus on reliable income and capital growth.
| Strategy Overview | Global listed infrastructure |
| Benchmark | OECD G7 CPI +5.5% Index |
| Total Strategy AUM | $5.8B |
| Holdings Range | 30-601 |
| Objective | Long-term inflation-linked capital growth over an economic cycle with a focus on reliable income3 |
We believe that by using a longer-term fundamental valuation approach when investing in listed markets through the cycle, significant opportunities arise as listed markets misprice infrastructure assets in the short term.
The Strategy focuses on both regulated and user pays assets
Top-down macroeconomic outlook combined with bottom-up fundamental research undertaken within a rigorous analytical framework
Team of four portfolio managers focused only on infrastructure

ClearBridge Investments, LLC claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. ClearBridge Investments, LLC ("ClearBridge") is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin”). In July 2020 Legg Mason, Inc., its parent company, was purchased by Franklin. The investment advisory business now known as ClearBridge was registered in September 2005 to facilitate Legg Mason's acquisition of substantially all the equity asset management businesses known as Citigroup Asset Management. These former businesses serve as the foundation of ClearBridge and its claim of GIPS compliance for institutional accounts through predecessor firms, effective as of January 1997. In June 2008, ClearBridge combined this business with its retail business to form a single GIPS firm. As of April 1, 2013, January 1, 2016, May 1, 2020, and January 1, 2024 ClearBridge affiliates, Global Currents Investment Management, LLC, ClearBridge, LLC, ClearBridge Investments Limited (f/k/a RARE Infrastructure Limited), and Franklin Bissett Asset Management have become part of the ClearBridge GIPS firm.
The ClearBridge Global Infrastructure Income Composite generally holds between 30-60 different securities across a number of infrastructure sub-sectors such as gas, electricity, water utilities, toll- roads, airports, rail and communication across developed and developing geographic regions. The portfolio invests in a carefully researched range of higher yielding global listed infrastructure stocks and is total return focused with a Yield target of 5% pa. The portfolio is constructed to maximize the yield but also to achieve some capital gain and a reasonable overall return over the economic cycle. The composite may use options, futures or other derivatives to reduce risk, enhance income or gain exposure to the market for the underlying physical investments. The composite name was updated to ClearBridge from RARE in July 2020. ClearBridge has chosen an absolute return, inflation linked benchmark as the most appropriate primary measure against which to evaluate the long term performance of the Composite. This is an accumulation index comprised of the OECD G7 inflation + 5.5% pa. As a secondary measure of comparison, the S&P Global Infrastructure Index, which is designed to track companies from around the world chosen to represent the listed infrastructure industry, is used. To receive a complete list and description of ClearBridge composites and/or a presentation that adheres to the GIPS standards, please contact ClearBridge Institutional Marketing.
