Environmental, Social
and Governance Financing

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing has many beneficial socio-corporate and financial implications for the institutional investor. Economically it is a reinvestment in the community infrastructure and contributes to the social impact profile of a business. In terms of returns, the long-term nature and structure of these loans bodes well for the predictability of returns, making them not only socially impactful, but also an attractive risk materially.

Private infrastructure debt is longer-term inherently, given the economic life span of infrastructure assets. Many business owners are clearly understanding the need for ESG engagement as an integral part of responsible investing in fixed income. Top-down active management, allows advisers in the ESG group to fully engage with borrowers and clients, has proven quite effective in private infrastructure debt investment. Our strategies and philosophies have lead to outperformance of the leading brands and increased returns.*
*The value of investments will fluctuate. Prices may fall and could lead to total loss of investment. Advisement on investments is never a guarantee of returns on investment.

Infrastructure Assets are categorized by the following groups:

Utilities

Telecommunications, Electricity, Gas, and Water

Transportation

Airports, Railways, Ports, Roads

Energy

Wind and Solar, Waste to Energy, Hydro

Social Infrastructure

Student housing, Public Private Partnership, Housing

Infrastructure debt offers long-dated, consistent stability and returns predictability. One benefit is that these returns are based on cash flow, not on capital growth.

Attractive characteristics of infrastructure businesses that can predictably offer stable returns include, stable cashflow, high recovery rates, a low impact as it relates to economic cycles, and stringent entry and exit covenants for both clients and competitors.
