Investing in income
This video describes what is means to invest in income, and the opportunity it holds for investment returns. The fund's asset classes (including social housing and renewable energy) and the targets for long-term growth from revenue streams are also explained.

What does the fund invest in?

The fund invests in a broad range of traditional and alternative asset classes including bonds and equities, social housing and renewable energy. 

For example, the UK’s social housing sector is supported by long-term government cash flows, making it an attractive investment opportunity. Similarly, renewable infrastructure benefits from long-dated revenue streams, partly backed by government revenues, and is supported by selling power to national grids.
