80% of investors in infrastructure are exposed via private funds. For them, estimating fund and manager quartiles is at the heart of the investment decision process.But contributed performance data is sparse and often includes only a handful of datapoints per vintage or style. Using small samples to describe the quartiles of infrastructure funds return distribution leads to large estimation errors. The  confidence intervals of contributed IRR or multiples quartiles are often so large that fund quartile rankings can be considered a lottery.

Thanks to the market valuations and distributions of hundreds of individual infrastructure equity investments in 25 countries the infraMetrics™ fund analyser provides unbiased, robust and consistent quartile estimates of the performance of unlisted infrastructure investment funds. iFSA  produces the metrics that would be reported if thousands of funds existed in the market and faithfully reported their performance data in each segment and each vintage, every quarter.
