At the same time, the fund holds the entire equity of the infrastructure project company through infrastructure asset-backed securities, and the fund manager actively operates and manages the infrastructure project, with the main purpose of obtaining stable cash flow such as infrastructure project rent and charges, and the income distribution ratio is not low. 90% of the amount available for distribution in the combined fund year.

If the market has risen significantly since the release of the expansion news, there may be a situation of "exhausting all the positives and taking profits". Investors should not blindly chase the increase. .
