VT UK Infrastructure Income FundFactsheet

Over the last 20 years the British Government has encouraged the private sector to build new infrastructure projects for the benefit of all who live in the UK. In return, the UK Government is committed to pay for these projects over the long term, similar to a mortgage.

The fund manager identifies the companies which own these assets and collects the dividend payments which accrue. Typically, many of the dividends are linked to inflation, providing some protection for the future.
