The last three years have witnessed an explosion in the amount of long-term risk capital dedicated to global infrastructure. Recent estimates indicate that the world’s top 60 players have more than $150bn of dedicated equity capital currently available to invest in roads, airports, utilities and ports.

When combined with leverage, a staggering $750bn worth of transactions could get funded. The size, speed of execution and sophistication of deal structures are testament to the new dynamism of the sector.
