ThomasLloyd Launches First Open-ended Public Infrastructure Fund and Signs Global Fund Distribution Agreement With Allfunds
LONDON and ZURICH, May 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

The global investment and advisory firm ThomasLloyd announced that it is 
cooperating with Allfunds, one of the world's leading distributors of 
investment funds. Following the signing of a global framework agreement 
relating to ThomasLloyd's fund suite earlier this year, as of today, the 
ThomasLloyd SICAV - Sustainable Infrastructure Income Fund (SIIF) is accessible 
via the Allfunds open architecture fund platform.

The new open-ended Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is domiciled in 
Luxembourg, structured as a SICAV SA (UCI Part II) and subject to the UCITS V 
Directive depositary regime. The SIIF represents the world's first fully 
regulated, open-ended public infrastructure fund and is available in 26 
dedicated share classes for both retail and institutional investors. Options 
include a choice of nine currencies available as accumulating or distributing 
share classes. 

The Fund invests directly in unlisted infrastructure assets in the areas of 
renewable energy, utilities, transport, social infrastructure and 
communications with a geographic focus on Asia-Pacific; applying socially 
responsible investment principles (SRI) whilst reducing investment risks 
through diversification across countries, sectors, technologies and investment 
styles. Authorised for sale throughout Europe and a selection of other 
countries worldwide, SIIF offers investors convenient, direct and instant 
access to a particularly attractive asset class.

ThomasLloyd's pure-play impact investment strategy is based on an international 
award-winning process, and is aimed at an increasing number of global investors 
who are seeking a capital investment that is guaranteed to make a positive 
ecological and social impact, in addition to its economic objective. The Fund 
offers first-time access for private and professional investors to an asset 
class previously only available to few institutional investors globally with 
extensive in-house experience in the sector. Since launch of the portfolio in 
January 2011 the investment strategy has enjoyed double-digit annual rates of 
return whilst simultaneously offering low volatility.

ThomasLloyd Chairman and Group CEO, Michael Sieg, commented: "Offering our 
open-ended AIF on the global Allfunds fund platform creates a win-win 
situation. By investing with ThomasLloyd, an accredited partner of the IFC, 
institutional and private investors can benefit both from our investment 
expertise in the evolving asset class of infrastructure and add substantially 
to their ESG quotas in their investment portfolios. At the same time, 
ThomasLloyd significantly increases its distribution reach by joining this 
powerful global network."
