Other than Macquarie Bank Limited ABN 46 008 583 542 (“Macquarie Bank”), any Macquarie Group entity noted in this press release is not an authorised deposit-taking institution for the purposes of the Banking Act 1959 (Commonwealth of Australia). The obligations of these other Macquarie Group entities do not represent deposits or other liabilities of Macquarie Bank. Macquarie Bank does not guarantee or otherwise provide assurance in respect of the obligations of these other Macquarie Group entities. In addition, if this press release relates to an investment, (a) the investor is subject to investment risk including possible delays in repayment and loss of income and principal invested and (b) none of Macquarie Bank or any other Macquarie Group entity guarantees any particular rate of return on or the performance of the investment, nor do they guarantee repayment of capital in respect of the investment.
Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. (MGU) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80 per cent of its total assets in equity and equity like securities issued by US and non-US issuers that primarily own or operate infrastructure assets (Infrastructure Issuers). In pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund will also seek to manage its investment so that at least 25 per cent of its distributions may qualify as tax-advantaged 'qualified dividend income' for US federal tax income purposes. It is anticipated that most of the Infrastructure Issuers in which the Fund will invest will be public companies listed on national or regional stock exchanges. The Manager will seek to identify and select investments in Infrastructure Issuers that, over the long term, are anticipated to produce consistent and stable dividend yield, and capital appreciation commensurate with the underlying risk of the investment. The Manager believes that analysis of an Infrastructure Issuer's underlying assets is key in determining the long-term quality of the company's potential revenue and income streams. The Manager believes that investments made on the basis of a systematic, bottom-up, fundamentals-based approach, identifying long-term potential value in Infrastructure Issuers, should outperform investments made on the basis of short-term market factors.
