Why private infrastructure?
Pursue potential benefits once available primarily to institutional investors.

Consistent returns
Essential service providers often have little or no competition and less expected sensitivity to economic and market risks.
Diversification
Infrastructure has historically performed differently than stocks, bonds and other alternative assets.2
A growing need for private infrastructure investing

How we invest in private infrastructure
Seeking regular cash flow and long-term returns across multiple sectors
Regulated monopolies, such as water, heat and electric, typically generate strong cash flows from essential services.
Essentials assets, like wind, solar and gas, are often supported by long-term contracts and agreed-upon prices.
Mature assets with multiple revenue sources and a history of strong demand.
Long-lasting passenger and freight locomotives leased to operators to generate contracted revenue.
Assets with contracts to store commodities critical to global supply chains.
Pipelines that earn revenue for transporting commodities or contracting with major energy companies.

Infrastructure
Investing in infrastructure assets or debt associated with infrastructure involve a variety of risks, not all of which can be foreseen or quantified, and which include, among others: the burdens of ownership of infrastructure; local, national and international economic conditions; the supply and demand for services from and access to infrastructure; the financial condition of users and suppliers of infrastructure assets; risks related to construction, regulatory requirements, labor actions, health and safety matters, government contracts, operating and technical needs, capital expenditures, demand and user conflicts, bypass attempts, strategic assets, changes in interest rates and the availability of funds/ assets which may render the purchase, sale or refinancing of infrastructure assets difficult or impracticable; changes in environmental laws and regulations, investments in other funds, troubled infrastructure assets and planning laws and other governmental rules; changes in energy prices; negative developments in the economy that may depress travel activity; force majeure acts, terrorist events, under-insured or uninsurable losses; and other factors which are beyond the reasonable control of the fund/ asset or the financial professional. Many of these factors could cause fluctuations in usage, expenses and revenues, causing the value of the Investments to decline and negatively affecting the funds/ assets returns.
