Future Group Partners with Aberdeen Investments to Invest in Global Sustainable Infrastructure
25 June 2026Future Group, Australia’s fastest growing superannuation and financial services company, today announced a partnership with UK-based asset manager Aberdeen Investments (“Aberdeen”). Through this partnership, Future Group and Aberdeen will deploy capital into global infrastructure opportunities to build a long-term programme of investments aligned with their shared sustainability objectives. Future Group will also allocate capital to Aberdeen’s Global Sustainable Infrastructure strategy.
The partnership will focus on investing in essential infrastructure aligned with shared sustainability priorities, including supporting the global energy transition through low-carbon infrastructure, expanding social and affordable assets such as housing and healthcare, and enabling more sustainable, connected communities through cleaner transport and resilient urban infrastructure.
Aberdeen’s Global Sustainable Infrastructure strategy, now in its fourth generation, focuses on greenfield concession and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) style investments. With a global footprint spanning Australia, New Zealand, the Americas and Europe, the strategy targets critical infrastructure projects that support public services, enhance social mobility and advance decarbonisation. It aims to deliver long-term, stable and predictable returns while generating positive environmental and social outcomes.
Sameer Amin, Managing Partner, Concession Infrastructure at Aberdeen Investments, said:
“For institutional investors seeking long-dated, inflation-linked cashflows, exposure to essential public assets and diversification away from traditional markets, concession infrastructure presents a compelling opportunity. Over the past 25 years, we have invested in approximately 140 concession infrastructure projects worldwide on behalf of our clients, supporting essential public services ranging from transportation to the energy transition. We are pleased to partner with Future Group to help meet both their investment objectives and sustainability ambitions.”
Under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, governments engage the private sector to design, build, finance, operate and maintain infrastructure assets, including social and affordable housing, hospitals, roads and rail networks. These long-term agreements, known as concessions, typically offer investors contracted cashflows over several decades in return for delivering and maintaining essential public infrastructure. This combination of duration, visibility and public-sector alignment makes concession infrastructure an attractive asset class for long-term investors.
David Allen, Deputy Chief Investment Officer – Private Markets, Future Group said:
“Creating a sustainable and equitable world is central to our mission of building a future worth retiring into. Aberdeen’s deep expertise and strong track record in real assets and concession infrastructure align closely with our investment philosophy and sustainability objectives. We look forward to working together to deliver long-term value for both our members and society.”
Future Group’s vision is to create a future where all of Australia’s retirement savings contribute to positive social and environmental impact. It actively leverages stewardship tools such as proxy voting, corporate engagement and targeted campaigns to influence positive outcomes and champions the power of capital to create a future worth retiring into.
Aberdeen is among the largest global investors in real assets. As at 31 December 2025, the firm has more than 200 dedicated real asset investment professionals and manages over £41.9 billion across the full spectrum of real assets, including debt, economic and concession infrastructure, and listed equity, spanning both private and publicly traded assets.
