About the event

Infrastructure has increasingly become a cornerstone for sustainable economic growth and resilience. With infrastructure emerging as an attractive asset class against inflation, the asset class is receiving renewed interest for its ability to deliver returns over the next decade. 

To discuss unlocking opportunities in infrastructure, we're pleased to have distinguished speakers from Macquarie Asset Management (MAM), one of the largest global infrastructure investors managing over US$588 billion in assets, joining us for the evening. Ilias Benjelloun, Senior Vice President of Macquarie Infrastructure Fund (MIF) Portfolio Strategy Team will discuss the fundamentals of private infrastructure investing, key secular investment themes, its appeal to investors and potential to enhance overall portfolio diversification and performance. 

The session will be moderated by Yuhan Tan, Senior Investment Lead at Endowus. We will also be joined by Reina Nakagaki, Senior Vice President, Relationship Manager – Client Solutions Group, Greater China and Southeast Asia, who will introduce the Macquarie franchise, which has over 30 years of experience investing in over 300 infrastructure assets.
