Can super build Australia?
Mark Delaney explains how super funds are delivering good returns through investing in infrastructure.

Mark Delaney, Deputy CEO and Chief Investment Officer at Australian Super, tells 3Q that the long term nature of infrastructure funding and the solid returns make it an attractive investment.
