Investing with
CC&L Infrastructure

Access to strategies committed to delivering
strong and stable performance

Investing in private market infrastructure can be a highly effective means
of generating stable cashflow and long-term capital growth.

 

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.

Key characteristics:

  • Provision of a critical or essential good or service
  • Long duration assets
  • High barriers to entry
  • Regulated, contracted, or protected revenues
  • Stable and predictable cashflows, often including inflation linkages

Value proposition:

  • Distinct asset class with attractive risk/return profile
  • Strong diversification benefits within a portfolio – low correlation, cyclicality, and volatility
  • Ability to generate strong returns from a combination of income and capital appreciation

We currently offer two actively managed mid-market infrastructure investment strategies:

CC&L Infrastructure Strategy

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.

CC&L Energy Transition Strategy

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.

Each of our strategies benefits from the experience of our in-house investment and asset management teams who ensure rigorous and disciplined due diligence over new investments as well as hands-on oversight of existing projects. Together, these teams are focused on optimizing operations, mitigating risk, and maximizing value over the long term.

Investing alongside
our clients

We strongly believe in the benefits of infrastructure investing. That’s why we deploy a significant amount of our own capital alongside our clients. It demonstrates our commitment to the assets we acquire and our portfolio’s long-term performance.

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.

Whether you are an institutional or individual investor,
we have investment options to meet your needs.

Institutional Investors

We work with a variety of institutional investors to understand their specific needs and provide access to our infrastructure projects. When individual investments are of significant size and value, we may also provide direct co-investment opportunities.

Our current clients include public and private pension funds, life insurance companies, financial institutions, foundations, and endowments, among others.

Individual Investors

We offer high-net-worth investors the ability to invest through CC&L Private Capital, providing access to an attractive asset class that has historically been available only to larger institutions.

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.
