PE Case Study: Infrastructure

25 pages

About this resource

Infrastructure PE is one of the fastest-growing segments of the buy side, yet almost no interview prep material covers it. This case study walks through an infrastructure acquisition from thesis to returns: asset classification (core, core+, value-add), expected equity IRRs by risk bucket (<10% core, 10-15% core+, 15%+ value-add), how CPI-linked and population-linked revenues create natural inflation and demographic hedges for pension fund LPs, the due diligence process for physical assets (including site visits to remote locations), digital infrastructure dynamics (data centres, cell towers, fibre), and the entry-multiple compression challenge as pension funds with near-zero cost of capital have bid up valuations. Includes a worked returns analysis and examiner commentary.
