So if super funds had invested in the Sydney cross city tunnel, Lane Cove tunnel, Clem7, BrisConnections, Macquarie Airports, Macquarie Infrastructure Group, it would have increased productivity and growth....really? It would have burned a whole lot of super funds as opposed to retail mum & dad investors.
Super funds will invest in an asset if the mathematics and risk/return dynamics stack up...that is what trustees are entrusted to do....no more, no less.
