Focused on sustainable investments
Climate change, energy demand and water scarcity are among the greatest challenges of our century. We are aware that buildings contribute significantly to CO2 emissions and the consumption of natural resources.
Therefore, owning and operating property responsibly can have a significant positive impact on the environment.
the infrastructure
Sustainability is at the core of how REPM actively manages its infrastructure investments
Our infrastructure platform invests globally in key infrastructure sectors including energy, utilities, transportation, telecommunications, and social infrastructure. Established in 2007, our dedicated team of professionals operates from six international offices and manages approximately $5 billion in institutional client commitments.
Existing resources include closed-end direct equity funds that invest in traditional and durable infrastructure assets in developed countries. We target assets that provide essential services, have strong cash flows, and retain anti-inflationary characteristics. Our direct platform also offers a clean energy strategy focused on Switzerland and other selected European countries. Our direct debt capacity currently includes a European strategy that invests in long-term infrastructure senior secured debt.
Why infrastructure?
Infrastructure is capital intensive and typically has a long expected life, which can provide effective duration for responsibility-oriented investors seeking stable and predictable cash flows over the long term. Private infrastructure bonds offer a premium over public corporate bonds to compensate for illiquidity and investment complexity, while infrastructure bonds carry less risk than similarly rated corporate bonds.
The defensive and essential characteristics of the asset, combined with the added premium of private infrastructure, make theasset classan attractive allocation for pension funds and insurance companies. In addition, infrastructure can bring social and economic benefits to society. With these attractive aspects, global interest in infrastructure investment has increased over the past decade.

Throughout the life of the asset, we continue to monitor the ESG impact of the asset. GRESB, the Global ESG Benchmark for Real Assets, ranks our equity strategies #1 and #3 in their peer group.
