A remedy to the 'core' vs 'core+' mush...

Private infrastructure investment is developing rapidly as a global asset class. This evolution requires a clear and robust classification of the individual infrastructure investments. The Infrastructure Company Classification Standard (TICCS®) was created by EDHECinfra to provide investors with a frame of reference to approach the infrastructure asset class, document its different segments according to objective criteria and create benchmarks that can be genuinely representative.

What makes infrastructure?

Under the TICCS® framework, a number of fundamental economic criteria have to be present for a company and its assets to be meaningfully considered 'infrastructure':

  • Single-use investment (no alternative use)
  • Sunk or irreversible capital investment
  • Large size & long repayment period
  • Inflexible total cost structure
  • Infrastructure as a service (value through service provision)
  • Not a store of value (it's valuable because it's useful)

Information containing any historical information, data or analysis should not be taken as an indication or guarantee of any future performance, analysis, forecast or prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results. In many cases, hypothetical, back-tested results were achieved by means of the retroactive application of a simulation model and, as such, the corresponding results have inherent limitations.

    The Index returns shown do not represent the results of actual trading of investable assets/securities. EDHECinfra maintains the Index and calculates the Index levels and performance shown or discussed, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the Index or investment funds that are intended to track the performance of the Index. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual and back-tested performance of the securities/fund to be lower than the Index performance shown. Back-tested performance may not reflect the impact that any material market or economic factors might have had on the advisor’s management of actual client assets.
