Infrastructure has the potential to deliver the sustainable, secure and strong returns that institutional investors are looking for. The government has set out plans to tap into pension fund assets to help finance infrastructure projects. A memorandum of understanding was signed last November with two pension scheme bodies, an agreement that will see millions of savers help to fund the roads, hospitals, ports and green infrastructure projects of the future. What is the government doing to phase out the regulatory barriers and incentivise investors, and what types of project should pension fund investors be considering?

At Pensions: Infrastructure Investment we will be looking how to secure long-term returns on infrastructure investment, ensure assets are managed effectively and diversify investment in other sectors. Infrastructure is a relatively new asset class and our high-profile speakers will explore the types of infrastructure investment available and analyse the potential returns and specific risks of infrastructure assets.
