LONDON and ZURICH, May 17, 2019 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The global investment and advisory firm ThomasLloyd announced that it is

cooperating with Allfunds, one of the world's leading distributors of

investment funds. Following the signing of a global framework agreement

relating to ThomasLloyd's fund suite earlier this year, as of today, the

ThomasLloyd SICAV - Sustainable Infrastructure Income Fund (SIIF) is accessible

via the Allfunds open architecture fund platform.

The new open-ended Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) is domiciled in

Luxembourg, structured as a SICAV SA (UCI Part II) and subject to the UCITS V

Directive depositary regime. The SIIF represents the world's first fully

regulated, open-ended public infrastructure fund and is available in 26

dedicated share classes for both retail and institutional investors. Options

include a choice of nine currencies available as accumulating or distributing

share classes.

The Fund invests directly in unlisted infrastructure assets in the areas of

renewable energy, utilities, transport, social infrastructure and

communications with a geographic focus on Asia-Pacific; applying socially

responsible investment principles (SRI) whilst reducing investment risks

through diversification across countries, sectors, technologies and investment

styles. Authorised for sale throughout Europe and a selection of other

countries worldwide, SIIF offers investors convenient, direct and instant

access to a particularly attractive asset class.

ThomasLloyd's pure-play impact investment strategy is based on an international

award-winning process, and is aimed at an increasing number of global investors

who are seeking a capital investment that is guaranteed to make a positive

ecological and social impact, in addition to its economic objective. The Fund

offers first-time access for private and professional investors to an asset

class previously only available to few institutional investors globally with

extensive in-house experience in the sector. Since launch of the portfolio in

January 2011 the investment strategy has enjoyed double-digit annual rates of

return whilst simultaneously offering low volatility.

ThomasLloyd Chairman and Group CEO, Michael Sieg, commented: "Offering our

open-ended AIF on the global Allfunds fund platform creates a win-win

situation. By investing with ThomasLloyd, an accredited partner of the IFC,

institutional and private investors can benefit both from our investment

expertise in the evolving asset class of infrastructure and add substantially

to their ESG quotas in their investment portfolios. At the same time,

ThomasLloyd significantly increases its distribution reach by joining this

powerful global network."
