Accelerating economic development and potential investment benefits.
Infrastructure improves living standards and supports economic development. Global growth dynamics continue to drive public and private investment in infrastructure pointing to opportunities in areas such as the development and modernization of roads, power networks, water systems, and telecommunication networks.
Stable and predictable income and cash flow may be achieved through long-duration contracts and near-monopolistic characteristics of infrastructure assets.
The persistent demand for infrastructure products and services has resulted in a historically low correlation to other asset classes providing potential portfolio diversification benefits.
Infrastructure has historically generated attractive total returns consisting of current income and appreciation.*
Many infrastructure assets have inflation-linked pricing in their contracts functioning as a potential hedge against future inflation.

As digital technologies expand, investment in digital infrastructure is needed to keep pace with the growth.
This will require investment in digital infrastructure such as data centers, cellular towers, fiber networks, and more to keep data moving and stored in a secure environment.
Global adoption of renewable energy continues to grow as countries diversify and modernize their energy sources, minimize carbon emissions, and decrease reliance on less predictable trading partners. Renewables are expected to represent an increased share of global energy creation as clean energy has become the low-cost energy source.
Clean energy infrastructure investment is required from both public and private sectors leading to opportunities in the generation, transmission, distribution and storage of energy.
Aging roads, water systems, telecommunication systems, power networks, and other infrastructure hinder economic development and quality of life.
Investment is needed globally to close the gap required to maintain and modernize existing infrastructure to foster economic growth.
