Course Overview
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.
Introduction
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.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate operational infrastructure assets using appropriate valuation methodologies.
- Conduct acquisition due diligence across technical, financial, legal and ESG dimensions.

- Identify value creation levers available to an active infrastructure asset manager.
