About the report
A trillion-dollar market with innate downside protection, infrastructure investing is one of the fastest growing categories in private equity. Moonfare’s white paper outlines the enormous opportunities awaiting funds and investors in the infrastructure space.
Key highlights
- The relationship between innovation and infrastructure
Demand for new kinds of infrastructure is going to grow quickly in the coming decade. This will be fuelled by crumbling power networks, roads and bridges around the world—the usual shortcomings that come to mind in the context of infrastructure underinvestment.
- Private equity funds: filling the investment gap
As demand rises for new kinds of infrastructure, another reality comes into view: the scale of underinvestment. Globally there is a 19% shortfall between projected investment and what is needed. These shortcomings create an opportunity for private equity funds.
- Investing in infrastructure: the need for agility
Not all funds are well suited for infrastructure investing. It is difficult to overstate the importance for investors of picking a fund with deep expertise in the category.
