There’s an “unlikely romance” brewing between infrastructure projects and private asset management firms. Julien Courbe and Peter Raymond – principals with PwC – examine how a growing number of public infrastructure opportunities with high-yield returns are helping pad investors pocketbooks. But to take full advantage of these opportunities, firms must begin a “significant internal transformation” to address the areas of “location, regulation and digitization.” While never giving financial advice, getAbstract recommends this article to investors and private asset management firms preparing for the future.

Take-Aways

Asset managers are beginning to embrace infrastructure investment opportunities.
A growing number of bridge, road and dam projects that provide “high-yield returns with relatively low risk” are open to investors.
Selecting the right project, in the right region is critical.
