Bennelong’s funds added to Macquarie Wrap


Advisers will be offered more investment options across global real estate and infrastructure as two of Bennelong Funds Management boutique partners’ funds, the 4D Global Infrastructure Fund and the Quay Global Real Estate Fund, have been added as investment options on Macquarie Wrap.
According to Bennelong Funds Management’s head of wholesale sales, Jonas Daly, both funds offered “wide variety of investment opportunities across multiple geographies, backed by quality teams of highly-experienced investment professionals with established track records”.
“4D offers an index-unaware global listed infrastructure securities product, which aims to offer attractive returns throughout a market cycle via its potential to tilt to emerging markets,” he said.
“Quay offers a concentrated portfolio of REITS, allowing the team to invest in their best ideas and avoid over-leveraged or disrupted sectors of the index, such as developers and mid-tier shopping centres.”
Bennelong also said that Quay’s strategy, which was recently upgraded to ‘recommended’ by Lonsec, aimed to deliver attractive long-term inflation protected returns with a quality focus.
