This research effort is exploring how best to stimulate long-term infrastructure investment by institutional investors such as pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds.
Pension Fund Investment in Infrastructure: A Comparison Between Australia and Canada is one of the reports emerging from this project. The report compares and contrasts the experience of pension funds in investing in infrastructure projects in Canada and Australia, looking at factors such as infrastructure policies, the pension system, investment strategies, asset allocation and governance of pension funds. Pension funds in these countries allocate more of their asset base (approximately 5 per cent in total) to infrastructure than those in other OECD economies, and the report highlights and examines important lessons for both investors and policy makers.
One of the greatest threats to future global prosperity is a lack of key infrastructure in both emerging and developed economies. In response, Oliver Wyman’s Global Risk Center is participating in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s “Institutional Investors and Long-Term Investment” project.
