We apply a rigorous multi-layered investment approach, which reflects the importance of price discipline and an understanding of the impact of underlying risk on successful infrastructure investing.

Our investment approach is driven by quantitative-based, active origination and hands-on management where research and analysis drive portfolio construction and portfolio construction drives opportunity targeting.

There are four essential attributes that underpin our investment approach:

Revenue-risk analysis
Our proprietary approach involves an assessment of the expected risk profiles of each asset’s equity cash flows and the expected risks to valuation of those cash flows. This produces improved returns and lower volatility than more traditional functional or sectoral forms of analysis.

A focus on ‘core’ infrastructure assets
We concentrate on assets that combine strong ‘core’ infrastructure characteristics with outperformance potential.

Competitive advantage
We seek the best opportunities from a risk and return perspective to meet investor and fund strategies and only pursue those where we have a defined competitive advantage. We draw on multiple sources to locate investment opportunities including existing assets, organic growth, strategic alliances, bolt on acquisitions and market presence. This means we don’t have to rely on participating in competitive bid processes alone.

Early involvement
Early involvement is critical for gaining a thorough understanding of the business and its operating environment and influencing the strategic direction of the acquisition.
