Secure Income Fund (SIF)

A multi-strategy fund of funds providing access to a diversified portfolio of real assets with secure income characteristics.

SIF offers contractual, long-term, asset-backed cash flows, often with explicit inflation-linkages. Its diversification aims to provide strong security thanks to robust counterparties or tangible collateral backing, whilst focusing on sustainable cashflow generation for its clients.

Our investment philosophy

SIF targets stable, inflation-linked returns through long-term infrastructure related investments across the UK. The fund is a multi-strategy fund of funds providing access to a diversified portfolio of core real estate and infrastructure assets that aim to deliver that objective.

Investment objective

Expected return considered under normal market conditions. Return is not guaranteed.
Expected return +2-3% p.a.(net of fees) over inflation-linked gilts (over rolling 5-year periods)
Target net yield 4% p.a. over 5-year periods
