Real assets

Real assets are tangible investments such as infrastructure and real estate that support everyday life, including homes, hospitals, clean water, energy, data centres, transport, fibre networks and core real estate.

Real assets can help investors access long-term structural demand across essential services, communities and economic activity, while offering potential portfolio diversification through infrastructure solutions and real estate strategies.

Sustainable infrastructure refers to infrastructure where sustainability is considered in investment decisions and ownership, including areas such as renewable energy infrastructure, energy transition infrastructure, clean water, fibre and social infrastructure.

Industrial and logistics real estate includes assets that support storage, distribution and supply chains, from large warehouses to “last mile” logistics assets serving businesses, consumers and urban centres.

Core real estate typically refers to established, lower-risk real estate strategies focused on high-quality assets and resilient income, such as Aberdeen’s core UK and core Europe strategies across diversified sectors and thematics.
