Australian Retirement Trust Eyes More Long-Term Investment in Thailand

Mark Burgess, chair of the investment committee at Australian Retirement Trust, says the fund is looking for long-term investment opportunities in Thailand and across Asia as Australian pension funds expand their overseas investments.

The fund already has exposure to Thailand through listed equities and fixed-income products, and is exploring further opportunities in infrastructure and other assets. Burgess says stable policies and a predictable investment environment are key to attracting long-term capital amid global economic uncertainty.
