Ageing infrastructure, demographic changes, digitalisation and the impacts of climate change require long-term investment in essential infrastructure to meet the needs of communities.

We create, invest in, and operate infrastructure assets across the energy, utility, transportation, digital, waste management and social sectors. We unlock the capital required to maintain, upgrade and build the infrastructure of the future while creating investment opportunities for our clients and partners.

Our team brings deep expertise and understands the challenges and opportunities in the industries in which we invest.

As the world’s largest infrastructure manager4, we leverage the strength of our global platform, track record and strategic relationships to create value for our partners and those whose savings we are trusted to manage.

Responding to the needs of demographic change

Whether it be population growth, urbanisation or ageing populations, we invest in transportation, logistics and social infrastructure that services the needs and demographic changes of communities.

Enabling connectivity and digital equity

Digitalisation is transforming the way we work, interact and travel, demanding greater data storage capacity and faster connectivity.

Through the assets we manage, we are upgrading digital infrastructure by rolling out resilient fibre broadband, building data centres and fostering digital inclusion by connecting communities.

Creating enduring value and sustainable growth

The impacts of climate change on communities and economies requires investment in adaptable and resilient infrastructure.

We’re working to deliver enduring value by future-proofing our assets, unlocking efficiencies and creating compelling investment opportunities in technologies and businesses at the heart of the energy transition.

Portfolio company data is collected from MAM’s asset management teams on a bi-annual basis.
