Palisade Investment Partners
In this video, Dania sits down with Palisade Investment Partners Chief Executive Officer Roger Lloyd. Palisade Investment Partners is an independent, specialist infrastructure manager with a diversified portfolio. It deliberately focuses on the mid-market as it typically has less competition with more attractive entry valuations, in-turn creating strong returns to its investors. Palisade delivers investment acquisition and management of infrastructure assets in targeted sectors with a strong focus on long-term sustainable returns, adopting a rigorous approach to risk identification, mitigation and management.
Investing in alternative assets has traditionally been limited to these institutional investors, as well as high net worth individuals, due to the large minimum ticket sizes required for a single investment (often $10 million). WAM Alternative Assets (ASX: WMA) however, seeks to democratise investing in alternative assets for retail investors through its listed investment company (LIC) structure, which provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of alternative assets while also providing them liquidity and a steady stream of dividends.
Prior to making an investment decision, retail investors should seek advice from their financial adviser. This document is intended as general information only.
