We have financed, built and operated essential infrastructure businesses around the world for over three decades. This deep heritage sits at the heart of our infrastructure debt platform – giving us proprietary deal access, sector knowledge and underwriting expertise that few lenders can match.
As banks have retrenched from long-duration infrastructure financing, private lenders have stepped in to fill the gap. We are at the forefront of that shift, acting as lead or sole lender on bilateral, differentiated transactions across digital infrastructure, energy, transport and utilities.
For years, institutional investors have turned to infrastructure debt for its historically defensive credit profile, including lower default rates and higher recovery rates than many other areas of corporate credit. That's the foundation. Now, this opportunity is available to individual investors for the first time.
USA | Transportation
Financing for a 41-mile toll road forming part of a 90-mile bypass connecting two major interstate highways in the southern US, operated under a long-term public-private concession. The road benefits from an established operating history, usage-based revenues and limited alternative routes, with toll collection administered by the state transport authority and remitted to the project, supporting long-term visibility of cash flows.
USA | Power
A structured senior secured facility supporting the development of a 1.2GW combined-cycle gas turbine plant near Austin, Texas. As sole lender, we secured the financing against high-value equipment collateral and built multiple repayment pathways and downside protections into the structure. When a change-of-control event triggered early repayment, those protections helped support the return of capital ahead of schedule.
