Infrastructure Debt Investment Characteristics
The Issuer's investment in private economic infrastructure loans is expected to benefit from a unique set of risk and return
characteristics attractive to investors in such assets. These benefits may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Substantial current income with interest rate and inflation protection
Private infrastructure loans can generate recurring current income for investors. The Portfolio Advisor anticipates that under
current market conditions income generated from such assets may be on average 3.50% to 4.00% above LIBOR, exceeding
available risk-adjusted returns from public bonds with a comparable credit profile. The Portfolio Advisor expects that the
Issuer's investment in such assets will result in anticipated excess returns due to scarcity premium, illiquidity premium, and
certain funds premium. Furthermore, the Portfolio Advisor also expects to benefit from enhanced lender protections
associated with private infrastructure debt financing. In addition, floating rate interest payments (which are typically based
on LIBOR or Euribor) are expected to provide debt investors such as the Issuer with protection against rising interest rates
and inflation.
Low correlation and return volatility
The returns generated from private infrastructure loans are expected to primarily take the form of current income cash flow.
The level of current income on a particular loan asset is generally determined by a base rate and a contractually agreed
interest margin. The Portfolio Advisor believes that the return profile of the Portfolio will reflect less volatility in comparison
to, and limited correlation with, more cyclical asset classes such as equities.
Principal preservation
Private infrastructure loans are generally supported by businesses with strong asset coverage and a substantial "equity
cushion", providing a favorable degree of principal protection for lenders of such assets, even in the event of substantial
operational underperformance of the underlying infrastructure. These factors have historically resulted in infrastructure debt
investments having low default rates and high recovery rates24.
Furthermore, infrastructure assets generally have low infra-asset correlation, mitigating portfolio concentrations25. For
example, a water utility in Connecticut has low correlation with an electric utility in the Pacific Northwest due to infrastructure
assets having differing specific local factors driving performance.
Obligor Risk Profiles
Debt instruments issued by infrastructure businesses have historically exhibited low default rates and low credit loss rates
compared to other industry sectors26. Where defaults have occurred, private infrastructure debt recovery rates have been
generally high in both absolute terms and relative to other industry sectors because of the strong physical asset base and
monopolistic business model that mitigates risk of substitution. Consequently, emphasis on preservation of capital is a
distinguishing feature of infrastructure debt.
