Infrastructure Investment and Asset Management Course

This five-day intermediate to advanced programme covers the full infrastructure asset management life cycle, from acquisition due diligence and portfolio construction to performance monitoring, value creation and exit, using a live African infrastructure portfolio case study.

Financial close is not the end of the infrastructure investment story; it is the beginning of an asset's operating life, often stretching twenty years or more. Institutional investors, infrastructure funds and asset managers who focus only on the transaction and underinvest in ongoing asset management routinely see returns erode through operational underperformance, missed refinancing windows and poorly timed exits.

This course positions participants to invest in and actively manage operational infrastructure assets across their full life cycle, from acquisition due diligence and portfolio construction to performance monitoring, value creation and exit. Working through a live African infrastructure portfolio case study, participants build the practical judgement needed to protect and grow returns long after a deal has closed.

• Evaluate operational infrastructure assets using appropriate valuation methodologies.
• Conduct acquisition due diligence across technical, financial, legal and ESG dimensions.
• Construct a diversified infrastructure portfolio balancing sector, geography and risk.
• Design performance monitoring frameworks for operational infrastructure assets.
• Identify value creation levers available to an active infrastructure asset manager.
• Assess refinancing timing and its impact on portfolio-level returns.
• Evaluate secondary market transactions, including partial and full exits.
• Apply ESG and impact monitoring standards to an infrastructure investment portfolio.
• Present a portfolio strategy and value creation plan for a live case study asset.

This course is suitable for:

• Infrastructure fund managers and investment professionals

• Asset management teams responsible for operational infrastructure portfolios

This programme is delivered through a practical, portfolio-focused approach centred on a live African infrastructure investment portfolio.
