Infrastructure funds are increasingly specialising by transaction size, sector, geography and risk profile as LPs seize control of their exposure, says Jamie Storrow of Northleaf Capital Partners.
Investments on innovation in infrastructure
Smarter use of data is just part of the revolution in infrastructure, say Marcus Ayre and Danny Latham of First State Investments.
