Define the investment perimeter
Eligible assets, geographic limits, sector exposure and concentration rules should be explicit.
Selecting a suitable ownership and governance model for a portfolio thesis.
A collection of attractive projects does not automatically make a viable investment platform. Investors need to understand the investment mandate, the legal vehicle, the governance of asset selection and the route through which earnings and capital are distributed.
AFII considers vehicles and partnership structures in the context of the underlying assets and proposed investors. Any discussion of a fund, trust or investment programme is exploratory unless the necessary formation, compliance and management arrangements have been independently established.
Each mandate needs a different balance of structure, commercial judgement and execution. These themes explain the practical issues that usually shape the work.
Eligible assets, geographic limits, sector exposure and concentration rules should be explicit.
Investor rights, valuation methodology, conflicts of interest and reporting need to be consistent with the vehicle's legal form.
Infrastructure assets may be illiquid; the funding structure must not promise withdrawals that the assets cannot reasonably support.
Nothing replaces the review of contracts, financial information and the particular circumstances of the borrower, project or investment. Each engagement remains specific to the transaction, counterparties and jurisdiction involved.
