About the EDHEC Singapore Infrastructure Investment Institute

The creation of the EDHEC Singapore Infrastructure Investment Institute springs from the past 4 years of research on infrastructure investment at EDHEC-Risk Institute and the continuous support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore in supporting cutting hedge research that can bring new and valuable knowledge to institutional investors, asset managers and regulators. Based in Singapore, EDHEC infra aims to create a global repository of financial knowledge and investment benchmarks about infrastructure equity and debt investment, with a focus on delivering applied research in finance for investors in infrastructure. We aim to deliver the best available estimates of financial performance and risks of reference portfolios of privately held infrastructure investments, and thus provide investors with important insights about their strategic asset allocation choices to infrastructure, as well as support the adequate calibration of the relevant prudential frameworks. EDHEC infra benefits from unparalleled access to the financial data of infrastructure projects and firms, especially private data, that is either unavailable to market participants or too cumbersome and difficult to collect and aggregate. We also bring advanced asset pricing and risk measurement technology designed to answer investors’ information needs about long-term investment in privately held infrastructure, from asset allocation to prudential regulation and performance attribution and monitoring.
