Highlights of this title
Historically, governments have paid for infrastructure projects through public-financing structures. However, the scale of infrastructure development needed in many countries, combined with government budget deficits, stiff competition for government resources, and reluctance to raise taxes means that there are insufficient resources available.
While an increase in infrastructure funds should be a boon to investors looking for opportunities in this sector, these investments could become the victim of their own success. Pension funds, which are increasing their exposure to infrastructure investments, compete with the funds for the assets.
Although infrastructure funds have less business potential among German and French HNWs than they do in, for example, the UK, they do still hold some potential in those countries. This is why a quarter of German and French wealth managers expect to focus their resources on this asset class.
