Today many of the larger infrastructure investors develop their portfolios by moving away from unlisted funds to direct infrastructure investment strategies. In order to achieve greater control of the assets held in their portfolios, these investors rely heavily on direct infrastructure investment.
Another
major advantage of direct infrastructure is that investors can avoid expenses
associated with large funds. This trend has also resulted in larger
infrastructure fund targeting the highest profile opportunities, leaving
opportunity in the infrastructure middle market space. Owners are now looking
for a direct and sophisticated way to own infrastructure assets with turn-key
management in place. Aviation infrastructure and on airport service providers
are perfect examples of direct infrastructure opportunities.
While
aviation infrastructure requires capital resources, many opportunities exist at
smaller regional and general aviation airports. The characteristics of these
opportunities are similar to others in the infrastructure space—real assets,
with long lives, low risk of disruption and high barriers to entry. Most on
airport infrastructure opportunities and service businesses benefit from
significant long term leases, many of which are greater than 30 years.
