Through its investment in 3i Infrastructure Limited, 3i is committed to building its exposure to a portfolio of high quality infrastructure assets that is diversified across the different stages of the asset life cycle and with a balanced risk profile within the sector.
It seeks investment opportunities across the globe, but with a focus on Europe, North America and Asia.
3i defines infrastructure as asset-intensive businesses providing essential services over the long-term, often on a regulated basis or with a significant component of revenue and costs that are subject to long-term contracts. 3i looks for infrastructure businesses that:
-
have a significant underlying asset base
-
generate stable returns
-
can create value primarily through optimisation of capital structure with less of a focus on planned transformational and operational change than would typically be seen with a private equity asset
-
are more resistant to economic cycles
-
reflect inflationary trends
-
demonstrate potential for material capital growth.
