Assessing ownership, governance and distribution arrangements around income-producing assets.
A property or infrastructure portfolio may eventually be suited to ownership through a trust or other collective vehicle.

Tenancy quality, operating reserves, leverage and the nature of investor rights all influence what can be supported.
