Infrastructure investing: what the label doesn’t tell you

Not all infrastructure is created equal. As private infrastructure becomes more accessible alongside global listed infrastructure, knowing how a manager defines the asset class has never mattered more. On Zenith Investment Partners' Investment Researcher podcast, Steven Kempler shares the simple test we use to separate true infrastructure from essential services that don't make the cut, and why regulated energy networks are attracting investment that is largely disconnected from economic cycles. He also explores data centres, take-privates and how listed and private infrastructure can complement each other.

Australian small caps: August 2026 reporting season wrap

Australian small caps had one of their strongest reporting seasons in years, finishing August comfortably ahead of large caps. Resources led the way, with gold the standout and small cap gold equities amplifying the move well beyond the commodity price. Acquirers were active at the small end too, with takeover bids landing at meaningful premiums to pre-bid share prices. Small caps continue to trade below their long-run average valuation, with stronger earnings growth expected than large caps. Watch Phillip Hudak, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Maple-Brown Abbott Australian Small Companies Fund, on the key themes from the August reporting season.
