Infrastructure involves the ownership of physical assets. Investments in this asset class include highways, water and sewage systems, airports and railways, communication networks, electric grids and data centers. In addition, many governments have turned to public-private partnerships to help build and run important projects. These partnerships, as well as projects solely funded by private capital, offer investors the opportunity to benefit from infrastructure as an asset class.
We believe that there is an opportunity for institutional investors to investing in infrastructure – and a clear need for private investment. Key infrastructure assets worldwide require substantial funding, a large portion of which must come from the private sector. Firms providing this capital will be well placed to benefit.
