James Clark, client portfolio manager at Nuveen Asset Management, says that real assets and infrastructure investments -- normally consistent, defensive investments -- have seen those appealing characteristics under attack because of the pandemic shutdowns, but he noted that Covid-19 tended to accelerate trends that were in place rather than disrupting those movements. With the development of a vaccine,he expects pricing to firm up as uncertainty starts to melt away -- 'the worst case scenario has been taken off the table for a lot of folks' -- but for those positive trends to continue, particularly in an area like industrial real estate.
