About infrastructure

 

Infrastructure assets meet critical, long-term community needs, such as power generation and electricity transmission. Infrastructure assets also include structures or services that society cannot function without, including water systems, roads, transportation and hospitals. Simply, infrastructure underpins national productivity, economic competitiveness and the quality of life we enjoy day to day.

Infrastructure assets generate sustainable, growing long-term cash flow as a result of consistent demand for the basic, everyday services they provide.

The infrastructure assets sought by MPIC share a number of attributes that support stable, predictable cash flow. They:

  • Provide an essential service;
  • Operate within a regulated or contractual framework;
  • Enjoy consistent demand throughout the economic cycle;
  • Are in sectors where there are high barriers to entry, which creates a sustainable competitive advantage; and
  • Demonstrate a low correlation to most other asset classes.
