KPMG Infrastructure Investor Network (KIIN)

The vital role of the infrastructure investor

Infrastructure has long served as the foundation for modernizing society, enabling economic growth, fostering social development, and improving quality of life for communities. As we build toward the future, investments in our transportation networks, energy systems, public facilities, and digital services will be fundamental for creating safe, prosperous, and connected communities.

Never before have investments in infrastructure been so vital, and rarely have they been so opportune.

The investment opportunity for infrastructure

With its potential for stable returns and long-term value creation, infrastructure has become a compelling asset class for governments, corporations, and private investors seeking to diversify their investment portfolios and make a positive societal impact. Meeting those goals requires a deep understanding for the complex dynamics of infrastructure assets, careful consideration of factors that drive value and returns, and a forward-thinking approach that takes into account demographic, technological, and environmental trends.

Whether you are a seasoned investor looking to diversify your portfolio, or a company seeking to kick-start an investment within infrastructure, the KPMG Infrastructure Investor Network is here to support your goals.
