After managing money for 14 years he teamed up with Chris Abbott and started Maple-Brown Abbott employing a value-based investment philosophy that is still used today in the MBA Australian equities business.

2024 Review and 2025 Outlook for Australian Equities

Global listed infrastructure well positioned for uncertainty in 2025
In 2025, geopolitical and economic uncertainties highlight the appeal of defensive infrastructure assets. While inflation is under control, its unpredictability persists, making infrastructure with inflation pass-through mechanisms more attractive. Our preference remains for monopolistic infrastructure assets that are undervalued, benefiting from regulatory protections, strong long-term contracts, and inflation linkages. Additionally, we see substantial organic growth opportunities for the sector, predominantly driven by the energy transition but also supported by long term investment opportunities in water, transport mobility and digitalisation.
