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.
G20/OECD High-Level Principles of Long-Term Investment Financing by Institutional Investors is one of the outputs aligned to this project. The document identifies eight principles that address regulatory and institutional impediments to long-term investment by institutional investors, from the preconditions to long-term investment, through tax and regulatory regimes, to governance and educational issues. These principles aim to help policy makers design a policy and regulatory framework that encourages institutional investors to act in line with their investment horizon and risk-return objectives, enhancing their capacity to provide a stable source of capital for the economy and facilitating the flow of capital into long-term investments.
