Infrastructure investing has always been a sector of interest for investors for its stable and long-term returns
Recently, a few major factors have combined to push infrastructure investing to the forefront:
PRIVATE CAPITAL Public-private partnerships are essential to bridge the gap between government funding and infrastructure need CREDIT CRISIS In the midst of a credit crisis, investors are eyeing infrastructure – a stable source of return LACK OF GOVERNMENT FUNDING Obama’s stimulus package allocates $72 billion to infrastructure AGING INFRASTRUCTURE Current ASCE estimation of $2.2 trillion over the next five years is needed for infrastructure Infrastructure Investing At-a-Glance

Infrastructure Definition Facilities, systems and equipment required to provide public services and support private sector economic activity Transportation Infrastructure, Regulated Infrastructure, Communication Infrastructure, Social Infrastructure Transportation Infrastructure Bridges Tunnels Rails Transit Airports Seaports Regulated Infrastructure Electricity Transmission and Distribution Oil and Gas Pipelines Water Waste Water

China:
Chinese government stimulus package of $586 billion stimulus (mainly to infrastructure, rural)
India:
Plans to spend 8% of GDP a year on infrastructure projects
Australia:
Infrastructure deficit is estimated at A$20 billion
Australia is one of the first countries to embrace PPPs and expanding access to private infrastructure funds
UK & Europe:
For the EU, OECD estimates 4 trillion Euros will be needed with the bulk for the water sector
Estimate of 100 billion Euros of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been entered into in UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France
UK leads the PPP market while Europe continues to develop
Global Infrastructure Opportunity
USA:
ASCE estimates $2.2 trillion needed over five years for infrastructure
Government stimulus package allocate $72 billion for infrastructure
Infrastructure asset privatization is slower compared to other countries
Rest of World:
Latin America will need to invest $100 billion a year for the next 20 years for its infrastructure
South America’s biggest infrastructure needs are roads, bridges, waterways and ports to help lower cost of exporting
Africa’s infrastructure needs are estimated at $75 billion a year with power being the greatest infrastructure challenge

Public – Private Partnerships $2.2 trillion Estimated Amount Needed For U.S. Infrastructure Improvements Over Five Years $975 billion U.S. Government Funding of Infrastructure Need (Actual Spend plus Stimulus Package) $1.2 trillion Significant Gap in Funding Public – Private Partnerships (PPP) PPPs have the greatest advantage to tap private capital.

The 2010 administration budget provides a National Infrastructure Bank to expand public-private sector spending
Initial funding expected to be $5 billion and increase to $25 billion by 2019
The federal stimulus package will also give help to pension funds by creating investment opportunities for their infrastructure allocations
CalPERS
In the past CalPERS grouped its infrastructure investment with other alternative assets such as private equity
CalPERS has stated it would allocated up to $7.2 billion for infrastructure with a net target return of 5% over inflation over a period of five years
Successful examples of PPP investing
In 2006, leasing of the 75 year old Indiana Toll Road for $3.8 billion to Statewide Mobility Partners and Macquarie Infrastructure Partners
In March 2009, Florida closed a $1.6 billion concession to develop toll lanes on I-595 with Madrid-based ACS Infrastructure Development
Public – Private Partnerships

Over half of U.S. states have legislation authorizing PPPs transactions for
Long-term leasing of existing infrastructure
New development of transportation infrastructure
Public – Private Partnership Outlook Examples of Current Deals in Development California’s Port of Oakland: 50 year $700 million transaction to specific port facilities with Ports America Group Wisconsin’s Mitchell International Airport: Investigating feasibly of a long-term lease to raise $1 billion for transit system over 50 years Wisconsin’s Water Works: In an effort to reduce city tax increases and budget cuts, the hope is to raise more than $500 million for leasing of water system

Potential Risks to U.S. Infrastructure Investing U.S. Government regulations could hinder private investment in infrastructure projects Extent of time to bring a project to fruition could also miss the window of opportunity of viable investors The slow evolution of PPPs in the U.S. could see investments moving towards other parts of the world U.S. Government reallocation of infrastructure budget and resources to other higher priority initiatives

Opportunities are available for the savvy and disciplined investors
Increasing ROI due to price moderation
Less leverage available
Infrastructure Investing Outlook
U.S. Government fiscal budget shortfalls are apparent
Combined with budget shortfalls, the increasing awareness of failing infrastructure leads to more PPP opportunities
President Obama administration is focused on infrastructure and clean energy
Independence of infrastructure assets from business cycle risk – relatively recession resistant
Tangible, real assets are more attractive if global stimulus leads to inflation
Political Factors Economic Factors Credit Crisis Factors

Airport Industry Market Dynamics FAA estimates $49.7 billion is required for infrastructure development in the next five years U.S. government stimulus package allocates $1.3 billion in funding Current size of North American market is $15-20 billion Over the past 30 years passenger air traffic has increased seven-fold Forecasted five-year CAGR is 5%
Capacity issues will either push airports to expand or new airports to be built – a clear indication of the future outlook of the airport industry.
U.S. airports will continually be facing a fluctuation of demand, and at the same time receiving modest funding increase.
There is a clear opportunity given the gap of government funding and the need for private investors.

Road Industry Market Dynamics ASCE estimates $186 billion per year is needed for road development 36% of roads in the U.S. are continually congested costing $63 billion in time and wasted fuel U.S. highway road system is valued at $1.75 trillion 34% of roads are in poor or mediocre condition Forecasted five-year CAGR is between 5 - 6%
Passenger and commercial travel on U.S. highways continue to increase every year.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act only allocates $27 billion for roads. The Highway Trust Fund has a balance of $16 billion, mostly derived from user fees. The funding gap needs to come via private investment.
