You're listening to a Chasse podcast. The late Lloyd Morrison did actually set up in for two way back in the day. Would you say his aspirations have been realized?
I don't know. He's quite ambitious guy, right, so that I suspect that's a pretty high bar that we're all continually trying to live up to. He he described it what he hoped for Infratoo before he passed away as as creating a great New Zealand company is what he said,
which leaves quite a bit of room for interpretation. But I think what he is capturing there is you know there are it's more than a fund where you sort of pop in a few investments, like if you're doing your own investing and you sort of mix a match and you come out with a financial return and that's happy. His aspirations for Intole were much higher than that. A company that and you sort of saw this when he was alive, you know, was relevant to New Zealand and
other markets if possible. When he advocated for the stock exchange not to be sold for various things that we're going on with airlines and the flag. Those are the levels of his aspirations for him a tool, and I think we're sort of still working I think on that part of his vision. How can you have kind of a broader place in people's hearts and minds than just like a spreadsheet.
And also, I mean eighty percent of the business is Australasians. Still you call yourselves a global infrastructure investment company, but actually a lot of it still is based here. But I suppose is that always? Is that always what you're hoping to.
Have or I think that's more just where we've come from, which is a strength. So the more mature businesses will be at home, the things where we're willing to take more risk will tend to still be at home. First. Really, where we want to take the investment portfolio is a kind of a more global version of what you see today. So could we have larger data seen the businesses offshore? I think that would be interesting from an investment perspective.
And certainly we have every right, I think, given what we've achieved so far and this part of the world, to try to do that. And you can sort of
see that in renewables as well. Right, we've had huge history with was TrustPower now monor energy tilt that came out of it definitely earned the right I think to try that offshore and Long Road in the US is the early sort of signs that maybe we can translate off that offshore, and we've got a few other ways to try and integrate that model into other jurisdictions as well.
And Jason, what excites you about the future.
I think trying to become that great New Zealand company is pretty exciting. Actually, a global version of what we've got would be really exciting. I think for seer orders, which includes me and actually a company that's known for I think being relevant, as I said, that looks after its staff, that looks up to its neighbors, that would be a very happy place. Investing involves risk. You might lose the money you start with. We recommend talking to a licensed financial advisor.
We also recommend reading product disclosure documents before deciding to invest.
