Infrastructure
Purpose-Built for Infrastructure
Infrastructure has proven to be a resilient and attractive asset class for institutional investors, with a whopping $491B in global AUM according to McKinsey (and growing). But managing infrastructure assets and investments has its own set of challenges, such as:
Unique
No two infrastructure investments are the same. Every road, bridge, airport, toll road, street, wastewater plant, etc. has its own unique due diligence, underwriting, and performance metrics. So how do you measure and compare performance and risk apples to apples?
Complex
Infrastructure assets require complex and be-spoke valuation models. There is no cookie cutter approach. These assets have high capex, complex revenue and expense schedules, multiple investors and lenders, intricate depreciation schedules, and 30+ year lifecycles. If you’re an infrastructure investor, you’re living life in Excel.
Risk
Certain Infrastructure investments can generate hundreds and thousands of dollars in revenue per month. Therefore, it is critical for investors to proactively manage each site’s operational, financial, and ESG metrics as granularly as possible. An equipment failure, miscalculation in opex, or lack of communication can lead to health and safety issues and significant financial loss.
