Infrastructure Assets in Institutional Portfolios
Capacity Building for Pension, Sovereign and Traditional Portfolio Managers for decision making in Infrastructure investing in Africa
As the need for investment in infrastructure continues to grow, private sector financing for infrastructure projects has developed around the world. Given the long-term growth and (potentially) low correlation aspects of infrastructure investments, Institutional Portfolio Managers such as sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and asset managers have also shown interest in increasing their exposure to this area, along with their move into alternative assets.
The course builds the knowledge, confidence, and institutional capability required for lenders, portfolio managers, and asset managers to actively finance infrastructure.
