Ratings house Zenith has rewarded just one infrastructure fund its ‘highly recommended’ rating — the RARE Infrastructure Value Fund.

Commenting on the infrastructure funds sector, Zenith Investment analyst Andrew Cassar said the ratings house believed infrastructure securities provided a long-term reliable income stream, which was resilient to changing economic conditions and largely protected from inflation.
