RARE expands into Taiwan

RARE Infrastructure has announced an expansion into Taiwan with the appointment by a Taiwanese investment trust company, First Securities Investment Trust.

Under the terms of the deal, RARE Infrastructure would provide portfolio advisory services through its income strategy for the global utilities and infrastructure offering.

RARE Infrastructure’s chief operating officer, Carl McGann, said: “This arrangement with First SITE eventuated from an existing relationship they had with Legg Mason, our global distribution partner, who highlighted RARE’s global listed infrastructure capabilities”.

According to him, the RARE Infrastructure’s income strategy would be an attractive option for Taiwanese investors as it was “designed to help meet the income needs of an aging population”.

The company said this strategy invested in assets with an explicit link to inflation through regulation, concession agreements or contracts as well as it offered exposure to growth-oriented infrastructure assets.
