Our vision & beliefs
Sourcing and investing in high-quality infrastructure businesses, where we see an opportunity to apply our operational skills and innovation, enables us to develop sustainable businesses that are leaders in their fields.
Striving for a market leading responsible investment culture is the foundation for creating and growing a great infrastructure business. A best-in class health and safety culture, prudent management of environmental risks, diversity and inclusion, strong governance and high employee engagement are good for the company, its stakeholders and the environment.
Fundamentally, great responsible investment practices reduce risk and improve long-term investment returns. This is at the heart of our approach.
Investment process & research
Infrastructure assets are inherently long-term in nature and therefore a long-term investment horizon is the most appropriate approach both for creating sustainable value and for investors to access an increasingly attractive asset class.
The ability to evaluate and manage unlisted infrastructure businesses enables Igneo to apply a much larger set of asset management tools and strategies to pursue sustainable value-add initiatives, in comparison to a short-term or a conventional private equity style strategy.
With the above factors in mind, Igneo’s investment philosophy has been developed based on the application of the lessons learned from having more than 30 years’ experience as an infrastructure investor and manager. Igneo provides the optimum balance between the ability to deliver diversification of risk and the practical requirement to be able to engage in and lead proactive asset management strategies that have been shown as the fundamental driver of long-term sustainable value creation.
Strategies & products
Over time, Igneo has grown its investment platform to comprise three regional strategies, in Europe (closed-end), Australia/New Zealand (open-ended) and North America (closed-end), and a global open-ended strategy investing across Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development markets.
Igneo recognises the importance of sourcing and executing investments at the right price but believes most value is created post-acquisition through proactive asset management. Igneo distinguishes its approach by securing lead or sole positions in investments, allowing it to appoint board directors and influence key decisions. Igneo’s integrated model ensures continuity, with deal team members, often experienced in infrastructure and industrial operations, remaining involved throughout the asset’s lifecycle.
