1 RARE WEBINAR Quarter ending 31 March 2018 RARE Infrastructure Limited ABN AFSL

2 Our investment philosophy Infrastructure assets, regardless of whether they are listed or unlisted, exhibit the same characteristics and operating cash flows. RARE believes that by using a longer-term fundamental valuation approach when investing in listed markets through the cycle, significant opportunities arise as listed markets misprice infrastructure assets short-term. Through accessing listed infrastructure markets, RARE views both the liquidity and investible opportunity set as greater, further allowing for enhanced infrastructure returns to investors. 2

8 Key factors impacting infrastructure equities Bond yields, growth and Inflation Bond Yields Short term rates are rising (2yr rates) Dividend yields on infrastructure stocks look less attractive Drags on market prices in the near term Long end expectations and how quickly we get there Market starting to converge on US 10T yields in 3% to 3.5% in medium term Expectation is that we will get there sooner (i.e., this year) Think Taper Tantrum of 2013 Different impact for utilities than for infrastructure stocks Growth & Inflation Expectations Inflation concerns coming through Logic goes Inflation (particularly wage) higher than expected, therefore Central Banks (Fed in particular) will need to tighten faster, therefore slowing growth and ending this cycle Note that inflation generally less of a concern for infrastructure, more about real growth Also, soft data (PMIs, inventories, etc.) starting to grow less quickly (i.e., rolling over). We re still getting real growth but it looks like it will slow a bit 8

9 Bond yields Market price vs fundamental value implications of structural rise Value (theory) Regulated Utilities Increase in rates passed through at next regulatory reset Cash flows increase, discount rate increases Neutral to value User Pays Infrastructure No change in cash flows (assumes inflation rate is unchanged) Discount rate increases Negative to value Price (market) Dividend yield less attractive compared with bond yields Stock initially sells off (impacts defensive utilities more than growth utilities) If real rates increase because economy is better then usage (traffic, passengers, carloads, volumes etc.) increases Stock initially rises 9

19 03 Outlook and investment ideas for 2018

20 Investment Outlook Growth Major synchronised global growth In danger of running too hot, USA, Germany of concern Growth is good for usage / patronage based infrastructure Economic themes Some inflation is important, need wage inflation to reduce underemployed and increase participation rates. Central bank activity likely to drive rates. Politics and geopolitics still has a role to play. Inflation Divergence of views on wage inflation Some inflation is good, too much results in central bank intervention Inflation is positive for infrastructure Infrastructure themes Asset-based growth, no issues with funding, it's more about the opportunities. Price elasticity of demand for economically sensitive assets could interrupt usage/patronage. Early days, but may begin to see some differentiation on potential technology disruption. 20

21 Economic outlook 12 to 18 month view Revised scenarios by region* US BEAR CASES Policy errors and currency stress 150% Protectionist measures from the Trump administration are the maincause downside risk to for US and trading partner growth. Productivity remains stagnant, leading to growth well below historic trend. Risk of financial stress initiated by tightening of financial conditions. US corporates have increased leverage, with some pockets showing credit stress. CENTRAL CASES Goldilocks 6570% Above ttrend GDP growth in the medium-term, plus a notional amount from fiscal stimulus (impact ). Gradual normalisation of monetary policy. Bond yields are lower for longer (versus history) reflecting international monetary conditions. US dollar and oil prices remain range-bound. US is moving toward over-heating in 2019 BULL CASES Overheating 20% Strong increase in consumer spending resulting from high wage growth and lower savings rates, combined with buoyant corporate investment, and US housing continues to recover sharply. Increase in participation rate. Productivity growth returns to historic averages. Oil prices rise, pushing up headline inflation. No negative impact from global currency stress. Bond yields rise to high 3% range, driven by inflation. EU Fiscal policy and reform inertia slows growth, particularly Italy. While financial risks appear to have eased, political risks continue, due to Brexit and a series of Eurozone elections. Potential for social issues including migration to challenge current political establishment, and derail reforms required to improve productivity. UK faces lower growth from Brexit ECB ends their large scale asset purchases in late 2018, and lifts interest rates in Growth across the Eurozone is temporarily above trend. Domestic demand strength closes the Output Gap, with higher core inflation boosting bond yields in the medium-term. Brexit reduces economic growth in the UK, and expected to marginally hit growth in Europe. EU growth is abovetrend (1Q18 anomaly) Combination of supportive ECB action and global growth leads to broad expansion of credit cycle. Signposts likely to include relaxation of Germany s hard line on austerity sufficiently to lead to new growth agenda, common regulation and back-stop support for EZ banks (Italy & Portugal) and other related measures. Japan Headwinds from global currency stress, potential trade/currency war. BOJ engages in further unconventional monetary policy, with unintended consequences. Regional instability, caused by geopolitical tension. Sustained modest Japanese growth resulting from looser monetary policy (continuing to undershoot the 2% inflation target), and fiscal stimulus. Microeconomic reforms fail to lift productivity, but corporate governance continues to improve. Lending to firms continues to improve. Japanese institutional investors progressively shift asset allocation away from bonds into equities. Japan has been in a sweetspot, risk from high FX Progressive transformation of the Japanese economy resulting from a long-term improvement in productivity, more relaxed monetary policy, boosting corporate and consumer confidence. Microeconomic reforms slowly improve productivity and change corporate behaviour.

22 Economic outlook 12 to 18 month view (cont d) Revised scenarios by region* BEAR CASES Policy errors and currency stress 150% CENTRAL CASES Goldilocks 6570% BULL CASES Overheating 20% China Mismanagement of structural transition to consumer-led economy in China, including failure of central government to support local government and the banks, leading to disorderly slowdownmanage financial risks. Potential for significant bad debts impacting liquidity in key areas of the economy (property & financial institutions in particular). Commodity prices & currencies transmit Chinese crisis to the global economy. Chinese growth continues to slow in the medium-term, with policy moving from strong stimulus to less accommodative. Civil unrest remains contained. Active management of the capital account. Slower trade growth is a headwind for employment, investment and consumer demand. The One Belt, One Road initiative provides stimulus for China and trading partners. Increased geopolitical influence. China managing for slower but higher quality growth Policy measures in China (domestic demand growth and financial liberalisation) and continued pick-up in export demand supports stable growth. Middle class consumer emerges as a demand pull for Asian (and lesser extent global) products increasing intra-asian and global trade. Harnessing technological innovation in higher value-added industries. EMs Capital flows are volatile in response to global monetary policy, resulting in tightening financial conditions in EMs in particular those with high deficits, and limited scope for effective policy response. Slower trade growth triggers protectionist responses. Asian trade rebounds, with an improvement in exports & some areas of governance/policy. Mexican growth is reduced in the medium-term, with lower exports and investment, but no harsh outcome from NAFTA renegotiation. Weak underlying economic and political environment in Brazil (election in Q4 2018). The Indian government is successful in implementing reform agenda facilitating upswing in investment (including Foreign Direct Investment). Capital flows into EMs return, and growth in Developed Markets supports reflation and releveraging. Positive multiplier effect from Chinese investment and leverage. EMs have low inflation, output gaps, and benefit from low US dollar ROW Weak capex in resources is not offset by balanced growth in other sectors (potential danger of investment bubbles, such as property). Households susceptible to an increase in real interest rates. Benefiting from global economic momentum. Borrowing costs get dragged up by movements in US interest rates (and normalisation of term premia). Canada & Australia have benefited from synchronised global growth Australian and Canadian economies rebound on the back of higher global growth, and associated inbound investment.
