About us.
EDHEC Infra & Private Assets Research Institute is a research centre of the EDHEC Business School. It was created in 2016 to spearhead new research in the asset pricing and credit risk of private infrastructure investments. Since then it has also developed ground breaking research in the area of climate risk, social acceptability measurements for private assets.
Through our corporate entity, Scientific Infra and Private Assets Ltd, we are also a regulated provider of market indices, benchmarks and valuation analytics for investors in unlisted infrastructure equity and private debt, including the widely used infra300® index. We maintain the infraMetrics® platform, which was launched in 2020 to provide updated, robust and granular data to investors representing USD400bn of infrastructure AUM.
In the second half of 2023, we will launch privateMetrics®, a new platform providing asset valuation tools and asset-level market indices for investments in private companies worldwide.
