To ensure the long-term success of an investment, we assist clients in identifying, analyzing, and managing project risk. We combine rigorous analysis with deep industry expertise to help clients identify, evaluate, structure, and create value from infrastructure investments and public-private partnerships.

Performance Monitoring of Infrastructure Assets. Overseeing massive funds with complex structures, institutional investors must execute successful investment strategies while simultaneously engaging with the public whose interests they represent. Our focus on the protection of client capital is reflected in our business model, our process and the values that guide our people. We understand the needs of our investors for targeted investment solutions and their goals of attractive risk-adjusted returns. Our team provides a unique combination of project development and financing expertise, relationships with key stakeholders, and proprietary tools and data that enable us to serve as trusted partners to governments, private developers, and institutional investors.

Funding for infrastructure projects can take a number of forms, including non-infrastructure financial products (such as government bonds, infrastructure-related corporate equity, or debt products) and dedicated pure infrastructure financial products. Governments can act as facilitators and provide credibility to infrastructure projects. By funding transactions, development banks provide a powerful signal to the private sector. Their presence suggests political support and stability over the long term. In addition, dedicated financial instruments—such as guarantee instruments, long-term funding, and early-development stage facilities—can encourage long-term investment.

We serve both private and public entities on public-private partnerships (PPP) financing, origination, development, operations, and stakeholder and regulatory management. By applying a systematic approach, we help assess the full range of private and public options for funding infrastructure assets. Our proprietary models enable us to identify risk, advise on pricing, and assess risk mitigation approaches and their implications on financing strategy. We help project owners identify the optimal strategy to raise financing for their project by drawing on our knowledge of the range of available tools and instruments, in-depth expertise on the assets under development, and insights into the project owner’s needs. We assist public entities in framing the case for PPP participation, developing the economic model and risk transfer solution for PPPs, managing PPPs and their various stakeholders, designing and staffing government units to review and manage PPPs, and optimizing the PPP process. We also help clients directly link their business unit strategies to their various financing strategies.

We support private investors in the following activities: analyzing the value of infrastructure opportunities and PPPs, structuring and securing economically-sound proposals, effectively and efficiently operating assets to generate value, and managing stakeholders and regulators to bolster long-term collaborative relationships. To ensure PPP projects also deliver economic and social benefits to the public, we draw on extensive client service in the public sector and our understanding of the challenges facing strained government agencies. We assist public entities in framing the case for PPP participation, developing the economic model and risk transfer solution for PPPs, managing PPPs and their various stakeholders, designing and staffing government units to review and manage PPPs, and optimizing the PPP process. Whether serving the public or private sector, we work closely with our clients to build their skills to evaluate and manage PPPs.
