Investing in Infrastructure

 

In the infrastructure space, we invest in sustainable and operational assets with high barriers to entry and low demand elasticity, generating a combination of recurrent yield with long-term capital appreciation. We invest either directly through co-investments or indirectly via primary fund commitments and secondary transactions.

Strategy

The case for infrastructure

 

Infrastructure investing provides a unique blend of long‑term stability, resilience, and positive societal impact. Investments concentrate on sectors which contribute to major positive environmental and social impacts: Energy & Renewables, Digital Infrastructure, Transport & Mobility, Environment & Circularity and Social Infrastructure.

These sectors are underpinned by major long-term underlying trends, namely the energy transition, including energy efficiency and optimised management of resources such as water or heat, and digitalisation.

By allocating capital to essential assets, investors support the backbone of modern economies while accessing predictable cash flows and long‑term value creation. This asset class naturally combines recurring income with opportunities for capital appreciation, reinforced by diversification across sectors, geographies, and strategies.

 

 


Our focus
 

1

Co-investments


Our core expertise in co-investment lies in investing alongside best-in-class fund managers and industrial partners who are experts in their field and specialise in sustainable, stable, and operational infrastructure assets located in developed economies.

With extensive experience since 2013 and a diversified track record built across many co-investment transactions, Access has developed a strong competitive advantage. The team’s deep expertise and proven execution capabilities position Access as a preferred partner for fund managers, with the ability to commit significant capital per transaction.

2

Primary fund commitments 


Since 2015, we have been investing in infrastructure through primary fund commitments. Our unique positioning as both a fund investor and co-investor has allowed the team to build long-standing relationships over many years with a broad network of infrastructure fund managers, industrial partners and sector experts.

3

Secondary transactions 


As part of our multi-manager strategy, we also allocate capital through secondary transactions. Our expertise in infrastructure market dynamics as well as our deep knowledge of fund managers, through our primary fund investments is a strong advantage to source and execute attractive secondary investments.

Investment approach

How do we invest?

 

We build high-performing portfolios thanks to resilient assets displaying strong direct or indirect inflation indexation, capable of generating regular cash yield distributions with moderate debt levels and long-term structures.

We build our infrastructure portfolios through a disciplined, highly selective construction process and a rigorous multi layered due diligence framework. Due diligence includes market, operational, financial, legal and ESG reviews, assessing asset‑level fundamentals, GP capabilities, governance, downside scenarios, and valuation robustness.

This systematic approach, supported by deep GP relationships, structured sourcing, and ongoing monitoring, ensures Access constructs resilient, diversified portfolios targeting stable yield, prudent risk, and long‑term value creation in the infrastructure space.

Building on our historical commitment to Responsible Investment and active ESG integration since 2007, Access’ infrastructure funds promote environmental and social characteristics, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
