About
HICL Infrastructure PLC utilizes a two-pronged investment approach, focusing on both direct equity stakes in infrastructure projects and capital allocations to other infrastructure funds. Regarding its direct investments, the company seeks out opportunities within the infrastructure domain. This encompasses funding project entities that are still undergoing construction or even those in the competitive bidding phase for concession agreements. HICL also backs projects characterized by demand-driven concessions, as well as ventures that do not rely on direct public sector or government sponsorship. Its direct investment portfolio is diverse, spanning public-private partnerships (PFI, PPP, P3), social infrastructure, various transportation assets (including toll roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, and ports), utilities, communication networks, and renewable energy initiatives. Through its fund-of-funds strategy, HICL channels capital into limited partnerships and other pooled investment vehicles specializing in infrastructure. This also extends to financial instruments and securities issued by companies whose core operations are within the infrastructure sector or comparable fields. Geographically, the fund's investment reach covers the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, North America, South America, and specific regions within Asia and Australasia.
