Explore this fund
Dexus Core Infrastructure Fund (DCIF) provides investors with access to a diversified global portfolio of listed and unlisted infrastructure assets across multiple asset types, sectors and locations. DCIF seeks to offer strong risk-adjusted return (income and capital growth) potential, with a low expected correlation to other asset classes, such as equities and bonds.
Unlisted infrastructure assets are generally difficult for investors to access due to the large capital outlay required. However, DCIF seeks to remove this barrier to entry by offering investors access to high-quality, unlisted infrastructure assets, usually only available to large institutional investors, but with a low minimum investment amount. The fund takes an integrated approach to building a strategically blended portfolio of unlisted infrastructure assets and listed infrastructure securities in Australia and around the globe. It offers investors access to infrastructure assets across airport, power transmission and distribution, rail, telecommunication, regulated utilities and education sectors.
This fund is available to Retail and Wholesale Investors and Investors with a Financial Advisor.

What are the key risks?
The key risks of investing in the fund include or are associated with:
- Infrastructure investments – factors affecting infrastructure assets such as an infrastructure company’s ability to service debt in a rising interest rate environment may negatively affect the value of DCIF’s investments.
- Co-ownership - where the Fund's assets are co-owned with other investors (including other funds managed by Dexus), any issues arising out of the co-ownership could affect the performance of the asset
- Share market investments - the value of the fund's investment in listed securities may decrease or be more volatile as a result of adverse share market movements.
- Liquidity – assets subject to liquidity risk may be difficult to trade and it may take longer for their full value to be realised, and in circumstances where the fund's portfolio ceases to be ‘liquid’ for Corporations Act purposes, there may be significant delays or a freeze on withdrawal requests. Market conditions may adversely impact the liquidity of assets held in a fund portfolio.
- Deal flow - he availability and volume of new opportunities suitable for the Fund is difficult to predict. The Fund competes against other investors (including other funds managed by Dexus to secure access to these assets. Consequently, the Fund may not be able to identify or secure access to suitable investments, and this may affect the Fund's returns.
- Gearing – has the effect of magnifying the fund's returns, both positive and negative.
- Derivatives – the use of derivatives may magnify any losses incurred.
- Interest rates –including the risk of capital loss in a rising interest rate environment.
- International investments - losses related to currency exchange rates, hedging, and changes in the state of the Australian and world economies may affect the Fund's performance
