Our economic infrastructure investment philosophy centres on our belief that infrastructure is a long-term asset class capable of delivering attractive, consistent returns to investors. Our approach is focused on:
Developing a long-term fund structure which is aligned with investors' objectives
Creating a portfolio of mid-market core/core+ infrastructure investments
Recognising the importance of effective asset management and stakeholder engagement
Aggressive and competitive market spreads
Clearly defining what constitutes core infrastructure within our target return range.
We have 11 investment professionals dedicated to our core/core+ strategy across investment offices. The team is supported by the marketing, legal, finance and operational functions of VerbalVest
Our investor base spans both public and corporate pension funds, insurance companies and family offices across the world.
We seek to build a diversified portfolio of core/core+ infrastructure assets across utilities, transport and energy infrastructure all round the Globe.
