About CIIH
CIIH is an actively managed global infrastructure fund that focuses on income. The manager picks a relatively concentrated portfolio of listed infrastructure companies around the world, such as electricity and gas utilities, toll roads, airports, pipelines and communications towers, favouring businesses with steady, regulated or contracted cash flows. Currency exposure is hedged back to Australian dollars.
Infrastructure assets tend to earn reliable revenue, often linked to inflation, which can make them steadier than the broader sharemarket. The income tilt means utilities usually make up a large part of the fund, and regular distributions are a key part of the return, though they are unfranked. Hedging removes most of the effect of the Australian dollar. The main risks are rising interest rates, which tend to weigh on infrastructure valuations, regulatory changes, and a fee that is high compared with index funds.
CIIH may suit investors wanting a defensive-leaning growth asset with a focus on income. Its sister funds are CIVH and CUIV, and index options include IFRA; see CIIH vs CIVH and IFRA vs CIIH.
CIIH distributions and dividend dates
CIIH pays distributions quarterly, usually going ex-distribution in January, April, July and October, with payment about 10 days after the ex-date.
The latest distribution was $0.015 per unit (0% franked), ex-distribution on 1 October 2026 and paid on 12 October 2026. To receive it you need to own CIIH before the ex-date.
Its distribution yield over the past 12 months is about 17.0%. Distributions vary and past payments are not a guide to future ones.
