Investing in infrastructure
Infrastructure has become increasingly popular recently as investors look for strong, stable returns. RBS experts look at opportunities in both the emerging and developed markets.
Monetising infrastructure
January 2012
A need for greater investment in airports, ports, roads and railways has prompted world leaders to develop attractive schemes to encourage private funding. A wall of pension fund capital is responding and owners of existing infrastructure assets can use this to their advantage, if they need to bolster their own balance sheets by making disposals.
Peter Stonor, Managing Director Transport and Logistics, RBS Markets & International Banking, assesses the market and gives his view on how owners of infrastructure assets can take advantage.
The evolution of infrastructure finance
November 2011
The credit crisis in 2008 was a game changer for finance, leading to restrictive regulations that have reduced capital raising options. James Miller, Head of Secured Debt Markets, RBS Markets & International Banking, discusses some of the structures being developed to help infrastructure clients reach their funding goals in this difficult environment.
The infrastructure challenge for emerging markets
October 2011
The incredible demand from fast growing emerging markets for roads, railways, telecommunications and power networks has been labelled as a second Industrial Revolution by those involved.
New opportunities in infrastructure investment
September 2011
Infrastructure offers stable yields largely protected from inflation, lower risk thanks to regulation and a growing investment pool as governments increasingly privatise assets. RBS’s Ian Bonnor-Moris assesses the opportunities and challenges for investors in this increasingly competitive sector.
