Our customers are organisations within the asset management industry that invest in infrastructure – or who plan to. We serve three types of key customers: asset owners, asset managers and investment consultants.

Asset owners

The world’s pension funds, insurance companies and Sovereign wealth funds hold the savings of the world. We help them understand what infrastructure investment can do for them. Should a Californian pension plan, for example, invest 5%, 10% or even 15% of its capital in infrastructure assets? We can help answer these kinds of strategy questions. Asset Owners also need to assess their performance, especially how much risk they are taking if assets are valued on fair value (IFRS 13) basis.

Asset managers

Asset managers need to have a basis for comparison to demonstrate how they are performing and how much of their good (or bad) performance is due to their skills or to the market: we can give them a market benchmark for assets that are not publicly traded and are very illiquid on the surface. Market benchmarks also make useful marketing tools for fund-raising especially to demonstrate the appeal of different strategies.

Consultants advise on the use of benchmarks and which strategies fit investors' better, they need objective and reliable information about performance and risk.
