Infrastructure as an alternative asset class generally encompasses investment in the facilities, services, and installations considered essential to the functioning and economic productivity of a society. Infrastructure investments typically share a combination of key characteristics that offer an attractive value proposition to clients.
We provide clients the opportunity to access strategies to build robust portfolios of high-quality infrastructure assets that deliver both attractive returns and valuable diversification.
The CC&L Infrastructure Strategy invests in a variety of infrastructure assets, including energy and energy transition, transportation, water, environmental, digital, social, and other infrastructure. It is primarily focused on construction and operating stage projects located in North America. With more than a decade of demonstrated track record, this strategy provides direct access to a well-established portfolio of high-quality infrastructure assets while also benefiting from the addition of new acquisitions.
Current investments reflect long-duration infrastructure projects that generally have relatively stable and contracted or otherwise protected cashflows. The portfolio is diversified by asset type, location, project stage, and counterparty. This strategy generally intends to hold investments for the full duration of the asset or contract life, with the ability to evaluate potential exits on an opportunistic basis when appropriate.
The CC&L Energy Transition Strategy seeks to build a portfolio of critical energy transition infrastructure assets that support the global energy sector’s phase out of conventional fossil fuels while increasing renewable energy sources. It will target investments primarily located in North America and has the ability to acquire projects at various stages, from development through to operations.
This strategy is a natural extension of CC&L Infrastructure’s business, building on more than 15 years of experience developing, constructing, and operating over 1.5 GW of renewable power projects. It is focused on investments in clean energy projects, sustainable solutions, and enabling infrastructure as well as the decarbonization of existing infrastructure assets and businesses that are transitioning away from carbon-intensive business models. The strategy generally expects to monetize investments upon the realization of the energy transition thesis but will maintain the flexibility to hold assets for long durations or exit earlier on an opportunistic basis when appropriate.
Our principal mindset creates an important alignment of interest and is the foundation of everything we do. From how we invest, to how we actively manage our assets and our people – it’s part of our culture.
Our current clients include public and private pension funds, life insurance companies, financial institutions, foundations, and endowments, among others.
For investors who do not require their capital in the short term, infrastructure can be a relatively safe and low-risk way to generate income and long-term growth. Infrastructure investments have the added benefit of acting as a buffer from economic turbulence in an investment portfolio.

2024 marked a year of record growth for CC&L Infrastructure across our portfolio, team and client base.
