Key differentiators

Track record in adding value

InfraRed’s team has a track record of creating, enhancing and protecting value across all stages of the infrastructure lifecycle, having consistently delivered across market cycles for the past 25 years.

Mid-market specialists

The mid-market is central to many of today’s infrastructure investment requirements. InfraRed is one of the largest mid-market infrastructure asset managers, combining institutional strength and global reach with specialist expertise, experience and relationships.

Deep offering

InfraRed is one of the few infrastructure asset managers offering investors listed and private funds as well as established strategies across core and value-add, delivered by an experienced team of more than 160 partners and employees.

Powerful platform

By targeting complementary risk profiles across its strategies, InfraRed is able to leverage a broad range of insights, skills, and relationships to drive performance across the whole platform.

Investment process

Applying clear criteria

InfraRed’s proprietary selection criteria serve as a tool to screen the market for relative value and identify investments with desired infrastructure characteristics.

Sourcing attractive opportunities

Few mid-market infrastructure managers can compete with the length of InfraRed’s 25-year track record and the breadth of its 240+ strong portfolio and experience, which enables its significant Investments team to draw on extensive knowledge and relationships to identify potential opportunities.

Building diverse portfolios 

InfraRed creates diversified portfolios by investing across targeted sectors and geographies, principally North America and Western Europe, seeking to identify relative value across markets.

Active asset management

InfraRed has more than 30 specialist in-house asset managers focusing on enhancing and protecting the value of its investments by influencing and controlling key value levers from pre-acquisition and throughout the investment.

Driving value at exits

InfraRed seeks to maximize valuations ahead of exiting holdings – typically through a specific asset sale, a public offering or a portfolio sale – and has delivered more than 100 disposals of essential infrastructure to date.

Sustainability-led mindset

Through the integration of ESG into investment processes, InfraRed aims to generate more resilient returns for our investors while contributing to positive sustainability outcomes.
