The benefits of blending debt and equity to diversify a portfolio are well-known, and long ago gave rise to multi-asset investing. What happens when you apply this principle to listed infrastructure?

- Two levels of diversification
- The potential for higher risk-adjusted returns
- The potential to improve the yield profile of an infrastructure bond allocation
