The Evolution of Infrastructure

The infrastructure investment landscape is rapidly evolving due to technological advancements, sustainable infrastructure, and renewable energy. These coupled with the critical need for traditional infrastructure make a compelling combination we call NextGen.

What Is NextGen Infrastructure

Infrastructure investment landscape is rapidly evolving due to technological advancement and obsolescence across all sectors

  • Some traditional growth infrastructure companies are now in their maturity phase (e.g. coal plants)

  • We believe many traditional infrastructure companies will become leaders in implementing technological innovations

  • Emerging companies that historically may not have been considered infrastructure are becoming the backbone of the new economy

  • We believe investing in NextGen infrastructure provides opportunities for attractive risk-adjusted returns of the next several decades

 

Investment Opportunity

Companies meeting our definition of NextGen infrastructure have a combined market cap of over $17 trillion, providing a range of opportunities

  • Global data is doubling every 2 to 3 years1 as cloud-based infrastructure revenues are expected to grow $500 billion over the next 5 years2

  • The US digital economy has grown $1 trillion, twice the rate of US GDP growth, from 2005-20193

  • Clean infrastructure is a multi-decade opportunity requiring an investment of $94 to $175 trillion until 20504

  • 41% of consumers plan to purchase an EV as their next car5, accelerating the demand for EV infrastructure

  • Battery storage capacity is doubling every 2.5 years with US developers reporting a 10x growth from 2020 to 20236
