One of the greatest potential 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.
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.
Trends in Large Pension Fund Investment in Infrastructure is one of the reports emerging from this project. It draws on the results of a 2012 survey of some of the world’s largest pension funds managing more than $7 trillion in assets. To gain a better understanding of what policies are necessary to attract more infrastructure investment from institutional investors, the report examines how infrastructure fits into their total portfolio allocation, as well as recent trends in regulation and investment in new infrastructure projects.
