Stable and Persistent Opportunity

Infrastructure debt is a proven asset class with a long track record. Infrastructure debt can enhance portfolio resilience and diversification relative to other credit strategies. These investments share a core set of characteristics.

Return Premium

Return premium relative to comparable listed bonds, derived from illiquid and sometimes complex assets that require specialised origination and structuring
Attractive Credit Profile

Infrastructure has the lowest default rate relative to all other project finance asset classes

Declining default risk over time

Higher recovery rates than corporate bonds in part because of the structural mitigants and diligence by experienced lenders
Valuable Collateral

Debt benefits from security over assets

Essential assets with stable, contracted cash flows and high barriers to entry
Diversity

Infrastructure investments provide the opportunity to invest outside of the public market

Can provide access to risk factors, such as wind resource and inflation rates, that can offer diversification within a credit portfolio
Tenor

Infrastructure debt is one of very few asset classes that can provide a natural match for long dated liabilities (long asset life is a natural match for long-dated liabilities)

Investments can provide long term cash flow certainty in a low yield environment
ESG

Access to assets which provide an essential service to society

Many opportunities linked to good environmental performance, sound social policies and excellent governance practices
