Our $22.3 billion global infrastructure & renewable resources program invests in businesses that provide essential services and are necessary for growth and development of economies. Infrastructure businesses tend to be large-scale and asset intensive, and typically generate stable, inflation-linked cashflows. These favourable risk and return characteristics insulate our investments from market cyclicity and provide an attractive match to our clients’ inflation-sensitive liabilities.

In 2023, we opened our London, U.K. office for our infrastructure & renewable resources team. The office, our first outside North America, is an important evolution of BCI and the infrastructure & renewable resources strategy and provides a solid foundation to continue to originate and manage investments in the U.K. and European context.

OUR INFRASTRUCTURE & RENEWABLE RESOURCES PROGRAM

Our program comprises a portfolio of regulated utilities in the electricity, gas, and water & wastewater sectors; transportation, including roads, rail, bridges and port terminals; telecommunications; as well as investments in timberlands and agri-businesses. It is well-diversified by geographic regions and sectors, with a typical investment horizon that can span over a 20-year holding period.

We focus on meaningful equity positions that allow us to adopt an active governance approach. This approach to governance enables the team to actively manage the assets to increase long-term value and align with the interests of BCI, the portfolio companies, and our clients.
