Maximising payoffs through mid-market infrastructure investments

In today’s world, institutional investors are under mounting pressure to accomplish multiple outcomes with the capital they manage. This means not only achieving appropriate risk-adjusted returns but also seeking to meet multiple additional priorities. These may include financial sustainability, managing risk, investing sustainably with climate goals in mind, and aiming to have a local economic impact – all while achieving regulatory compliance and transparency.

For Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) funds in the UK, these fiduciary imperatives are multi-faceted. Not only is there an expectation to generate positive externalities, LGPS funds seek to direct investment into local assets, underpinning the UK’s industrial strategy that plays heavily into modernising in-country infrastructure.
