    Understanding sustainable infrastructure with 3 cool facts

    Aug 2022 (2-minute read)

    Important Information
    JPMorgan Sustainable Infrastructure Fund

    1. The Fund invests primarily (at least 70%) in equity securities globally (including listed real estate investment trusts (“REITS”)) that are well positioned to promote the development of the infrastructure required to facilitate a sustainable and inclusive economy, whilst not significantly harming any environmental or social objectives and following good governance practices.
    2. The Fund is therefore exposed to risks related to investment, equity, REITs, sustainable investing, infrastructure companies, its investment strategy (associated with concentration in a single theme and/or sub-theme; sub-themes and changing market trends; the use of big data research and artificial intelligence technique), concentration, emerging markets, small companies, currency, derivatives and class currency.
    3. Where the income generated by the Fund is insufficient to pay a distribution as the Fund declares, the Manager may at its discretion determine such distributions may be paid from capital including realised and unrealised capital gains. Investors should note that the payment of distributions out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any payments of distributions by the Fund may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value per unit. Also, a positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return on the total investment.
    4. Investors may be subject to substantial losses.
    5. Investors should not solely rely on this document to make any investment decision.

    Key takeaways:

    • We share a few cool facts about the key infrastructure behind sustainable city living and JPMorgan Sustainable Infrastructure Fund1. Explore more.

    Electric vehicles (EV) are becoming a common sight on city roads, while the metaverse is allowing you to connect and interact in 3D virtual worlds via a virtual reality (VR) headset.

    Key infrastructure such as EV charging stations and data networks is bringing EVs and the metaverse to life, advancing sustainability and driving new growth opportunities.


    Do you know this about sustainability and infrastructure?


    Cool fact #1

    Changes in climate patterns are spurring economies around the world to accelerate deployment of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. In 2020, renewable electricity generation rose by 7%2. Do you know how much of the world’s electricity comes from renewable energy sources?

    A: About 3%
    B: About 30%

     

    The answer is

    B: About 30%

    The share of renewables in global electricity generation reached 28.6%2 in 2020, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). But deployment of renewable power needs to expand significantly to meet net-zero emissions by 2050 - that means renewables are likely to generate more than 60%2 of electricity by 2030, rather than traditional energy sources.


    Cool fact #2

    Sustainable transport infrastructure is key to improving connectivity within cities now and in the future. The global EV market and related infrastructure witnessed significant growth. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of public charging points3 globally grew from under 5,000 to 1.2 million4. Can you estimate the number of public charging points by 2030?

    A: Over 5 million
    B: Over 12 million

     

    The answer is

    B: Over 12 million

    With more governments enacting their zero-emission and related policies, the IEA estimated that the number of public charging points4 globally could reach 12.9 million3 by 2030.


    Cool fact #3

    The metaverse is currently in the spotlight, and the concepts of VR and augmented reality (AR) are presenting opportunities in hardware and software. The global revenue of VR and AR headsets is expected to exceed US$12 billion5 in 2025, alongside increased bandwidth consumption and cloud computing. With internet traffic growing at a 30% compound annual growth rate (CAGR)5, can you guess the global growth of data usage over the next decade?

    A: 2 times
    B: 20 times

     

    The answer is

    B: 20 times

    Internet traffic has been growing at a 30%5 CAGR and the metaverse could expand current data usage 20 times5 over the the next decade. This growth in internet traffic could lead to upgrades of supporting data centers and related network equipment.
