InFRAME - An enduring methodology for building infrastructure portfolios

In 2010 IFM Investors first embarked on the task of creating a suite of analytical tools that could guide the decision-making process of constructing a balanced core infrastructure portfolio.

The result was InFRAME^TM, a proprietary risk management system that enables IFM Investors to analyse the underlying revenue streams that drive the performance of infrastructure assets. Launched in mid-2011, InFRAME synthesises risk profiling, scenario modelling and portfolio optimisation to help identify and achieve a target strategic asset allocation for the infrastructure asset class.

Almost a decade on, our investment philosophy and framework have remained fundamentally sound, while continuing to evolve incrementally, including through our experiences from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect that InFRAME will continue to be an important contributor to the long-term success of IFM Investors’ infrastructure strategy.
