, September 25, 2011

In response to this growing trend, IJ is pleased to announce the Institutional Investor Forum, taking place on 29th March 2012 in London.

Why Attend?Mike Taylor, Chief Executive, London Pensions Fund Authority & Macky Tall, Vice-President, Investments-Infrastructure, Caisse de depot et placement du Qubec & James Wardlaw, Partner, Campbell Lutyens

The question over where infrastructure funding will come from and the involvement of institutional investors has never been more prevalent.

This forum provides an ideal opportunity to gather senior institutional investors, Government representatives, financiers and leading players from the European financial community to discuss and debate:

  • Government infrastructure funding strategies- the pension fund question and vision for the future- What does the future hold for PFI, how are governments proposing to boost investment from pension funds and other institutional investors, and how will the UK infrastructure plan play out?
  • Institutional Investor viewpoint: marrying infrastructure investments to long-term investment strategies – will this be the way out of financing issues and which sectors are most appealing for investors?
  • Macro-economic outlook: the Eurozone crisis and afterwards- what are the likely impacts on infrastructure asset allocations, portfolio management and investment strategies?
  • Bond market analysis –ensuring liquidity and the role of Project Bonds in  ensuring LP capital reaches infrastructure in 2012
  • Diversifying revenue streams: adding renewable assets to pension fund investment portfolios- what are the returns for investors?
  • The question of debt – can LPs offer the alternative debt source the market needs?


Join our Roundtable Discussions to assess the key topics concerning institutional investor participation in infrastructure debt and equity markets.
