“Leveraging our local relationships and experience in managing funds in Asia-Pacific, we remain focused on identifying proprietary investment opportunities through our own network for our clients,” said Verena Lim, Head of Investments for the Macquarie Asia-Pacific Infrastructure Fund series. “While the markets within this region are truly diverse, the investable landscape has broadened materially as we see some common themes driving new opportunities, including digitisation, decarbonisation and sustainability. More importantly, the positive long-term outlook for the region will continue to drive demand for high-quality infrastructure.”
