Infrastructure investors may be taking huge risks if they do not diversify their portfolio adequately
October 17, 2017--A new paper examines the characteristics of the EDHEC Private Infrastructure Equity Index and finds that investors that do not sufficiently diversify their private infrastructure portfolio should not expect to receive all the benefits of the 'infrastructure investment narrative.'
"Infrastructure investments are large but also vary considerably in size," says Frederic Blanc-Brude, Director of EDHECinfra, "As a result, many investors holding a dozen or so assets could be making highly concentrated bets and may not get what they have come to expect from infrastructure investing."

Lyxor-Monthly European ETF Market Trends-October 2017
October 13, 2017--ETF flows on track for a record year
What happened last month?
ETF inflows more than doubled in September
ETF flows more than doubled in Sept with inflows of EUR6.8bn vs. EUR3.2bn last month
A record year still looks likely
Equity flows rebounded strongly (EUR6.0bn)
Fixed income flows were at their lowest this year (EUR0.7bn)
Commodities enjoyed a slightly better month (EUR0.2bn)
Solid month for Smart Beta, notably momentum factor (EUR0.3bn)
Highlights
Equities-Rebounding strongly at 6.0bn
Risk is "on", with investors more influenced by buoyant global activity than geopolitical tension
Flows focused on Europe given ever-strengthening macro data
Broad EM also did well as local policy normalization prospects are still distant given the low US inflation print
Fixed Income-Slowest this year at 0.7bn
Significant outflows on DM government bonds in a rising rate environment in the US and Europe
Search for yield continued in higher risk assets: strong inflows on high yield bonds and emerging debt
Rising rate environment also led to a big reversal on investment-grade credit. We saw the first month of outflows this year vs. average monthly inflows of EUR1bn
