GLIX seeks to generate alpha from the long-term growth trends of global infrastructure development and modernization. The fund primarily invests in large-cap companies that derive over 50% of their revenues or assets from infrastructure activities. These activities include water treatment, generation and distribution of energy and resources, communication and media services, as well as the development or operation of infrastructure such as pipelines, roads, airports, railroads, and ports. Security selection focuses on monopolistic businesses that deliver stable long-term cash flows with inflation-linked revenues and lower volatility than the broader equity market. The portfolio consists of 25-50 preferred infrastructure companies. GLIX offers global diversification, including exposure to emerging markets. Currency risk is hedged through foreign currency forward contracts to reduce volatility against the US dollar. The fund may also utilize repurchase agreements and money market instruments.
