Infrastructure assets include physical structures, networks, developments and projects that communities and economies require to function and grow, including transportation-related, energy-related, water and sewage-related, communications- related, and social services-related assets. May seek investment opportunities in any country, with at least 40% of its investments tied economically to countries outside of the United States, under favorable conditions, and up to 20% in developing or emerging markets.

Commentary Highlights
June 30, 2026- Markets: Listed infrastructure made positive gains in the second quarter, but trailed equities in a risk-on market that saw a deescalation of tensions in the Middle East and reinvigorated interest in semiconductor and AI infrastructure companies.
- Defensive sectors such as utilities underperformed in this environment, although all the sectors in the listed infrastructure universe we cover made positive gains. GDP-sensitive user-pays assets generally led as geopolitical tensions eased following the onset of the U.S.-Iran conflict in March. North American rails led the group as the freight cycle showed signs of recovery. Airports and toll roads also performed well as easing tensions laid the groundwork for an increase in global travel. Overall, utilities were positive across the United States, Canada and Europe, but some weakness crept in as investors began to question the elevated spending by hyperscalers on AI infrastructure, which includes the electricity needed to power data centers.
- Laggards in our universe included communications towers, which were relatively weak due to stagnant leasing growth and worries over higher-for-longer interest rates, and renewables, which saw some profit-taking and felt similar headwinds from AI spending concerns.
- Contributors: On a regional basis, the United States and Canada region was the top contributor for the quarter, with Canadian National Railway and Canadian energy infrastructure company South Bow the lead performers.
- Detractors: US renewables company Clearway Energy and UK water company Pennon were the largest detractors for the quarter.
- Outlook: There is little change to our outlook: we remain defensively positioned, with a tilt toward regulated and contracted utilities versus GDP-sensitive user-pays assets. We continue to expect strength amid the greater appreciation of real assets shown by the market in 2026, given their inflation protection in the current macroeconomic and fiscal backdrop.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. Companies in the infrastructure industry may be subject to a variety of factors, including high interest costs, high degrees of leverage, effects of economic slowdowns, increased competition, and impact resulting from government and regulatory policies and practices. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. To the extent the portfolio invests in a concentration of certain securities, regions or industries, it is subject to increased volatility. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. REITs are subject to illiquidity, credit and interest rate risks, and risks associated with small- and mid-cap investments. Investments in energy-related master limited partnerships and midstream entities are subject to risks of declines in energy and commodity prices, decreases in energy demand, adverse weather conditions, natural or other disasters, changes in government regulation, and changes in tax laws. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. Dividends may fluctuate and are not guaranteed, and a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend at any time. The portfolio is non-diversified and may invest in a relatively small number of issuers, which may negatively impact the fund's performance and result in greater fluctuation in the value of the fund's shares. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.
