Book Private Equity Financing in Infrastructure and Real Estate

Download or read book Private Equity Financing in Infrastructure and Real Estate written by Josephine Gemson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-08 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of Private Equity (PE) financing in the infrastructure and real estate sectors. In doing so, it analyzes the impact of such investments in the two sectors, evaluates the types of financing strategies, and explores the value created by such investments. Infrastructure and Real Estate have emerged as a significant asset class for PE investors. In the last three decades, PE firms have invested significant amounts of capital in infrastructure and real estate – sectors which did not feature in their radar before 2000. Between 2000 and 2009, PE firms invested more than USD 200 billion in infrastructure. Real estate sector also witnessed investments of a similar scale as that of infrastructure. Fundraising for infrastructure and real estate was about USD 100 billion and USD 150 billion respectively in 2019, setting new records and reaching all-time highs. This book examines such PE investments – both at a global level and at an emerging economy level, to identify how PE firms have created an impact with their investments, to provide both ready capital and value-addition to sectors which seem to urgently need both. The book is divided into three sections – impact of PE investments, strategies used by PE firms, and value created by such investments. The findings of this research and the corresponding best practices are useful and applicable to students, academicians, researchers, financial institutions, policy makers and law makers, commercial banks and funding agencies, practitioners, the Government, and other parties who are directly or indirectly associated with the development of infrastructure and real estate; and could aid funding agencies, practitioners and policy makers who are directly responsible for creating and developing infrastructure and real estate for their economies.

Book Infrastructure as Business

Download or read book Infrastructure as Business written by James McKellar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure as Business brings new emphasis and clarity to the importance of private investment capital in large-scale infrastructure projects, introducing investors, policymakers, and other stakeholders to a key element that is surprisingly absent from the discourse on public-private partnerships. Despite the importance of modernizing infrastructure across the globe, governments often face challenges in securing the necessary capital to meet future need, as well as developing policy to meet these goals. Explaining the structure of the private investment universe and flow of private capital in such projects, this book ambitiously aims to bridge this "infrastructure gap" by elucidating shared terminology, conceptual frameworks, and an alignment of goals and objectives between public and private sectors—essential to meet increasing environmental, social, and governmental requirements for infrastructure in coming years. Appropriate for graduate-level courses in real estate, public policy, and urban planning that focus on infrastructure, project finance, and procurement and delivery models such as PPPs. Provides a clear understanding of private investment and PPPs to the investment community as well as professionals in real estate, project finance, and related fields, who often learn mostly on-the-job and from colleagues. Equips government officials and policymakers with key terms and concepts needed to "sit across the table" with private financers and explore opportunities for private capital investment in early project stages. Outlines communication strategies for both public and private sectors, which will increasingly need to collaborate to address climate change, respond to new technologies, and develop efficient ways to deliver services. Written to engage academic, private investment, and public policy/governance audiences alike, Infrastructure as Business: The Role of Private Investment Capital invites discussion and opens doors to advancing new business models, with international applications, to offer increased value for private investors as well as more efficient, flexible funding for innovative infrastructure development in the future.

Book Global Capital Flows to Infrastructure Investments

Download or read book Global Capital Flows to Infrastructure Investments written by Joseph B. Oyedele and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2014-02-17 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand pressure and the plethora of evidences observed in the form of increasing infrastructure financing gap, ageing infrastructure, environmental factors, such as climate change and rising quality standards are factors attracting institutional and private sector participation in infrastructure investment. Therefore, the search for innovative means of financing infrastructure has become incessant. Also, the features of the financial landscape, especially in a financial crisis has further underpinned the significance of looking beyond the present infrastructure need, to a more sustained infrastructure financing scheme anticipated from institutional investors. A well established capital market has therefore been identified as a viable option for long term and steady global capital flows to financing infrastructure projects; else, the burden will remain on governments to offer direct or indirect support to private investors in attracting financing for infrastructure development. This book therefore conceptually investigates the potentials of the capital market and institutional investors’ capital flows in bridging the global infrastructure funding gap. A fundamental conclusion from the book revealed that institutional investors particularly pension funds have the capacity to pool enormous resources into the infrastructure market, thus emphatically projecting them as a force to be reckoned with in the global infrastructure investments.

Book Financing Alternative Development Through Double Bottom Line Private Equity Funds   a Real Estate Social Investment Framework

Download or read book Financing Alternative Development Through Double Bottom Line Private Equity Funds a Real Estate Social Investment Framework written by Jeffrey Elliot Levy and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) This thesis argues that one solution to overcoming the financing barrier, and expanding access to capital for alternative development projects, is through the development of a "real estate social investment" framework and the use of this framework to guide the investment decisions of capital delivery vehicles that can deliver reasonably priced capital to alternative development projects that produce financial returns plus social and environmental returns (the double bottom line). This thesis offers suggestions on what a real estate social investment framework might entail and how the financial, social, and environmental return components could be measured and evaluated. This framework is then used as a lens through which to examine the existing practice of double bottom line (DBL) real estate private equity investment funds. Through analyze of existing theory and practice surrounding social investing and double bottom line real estate private equity funds, recommendations are proposed to advance both the practice of DBL real estate private equity funds and the development and maturation of a real estate social investment industry.
