Oxford Economics and PwC project global infrastructure spending will top nearly $78 trillion between 2014 and 2015, with about 60% of that coming out of the Asia Pacific, the Wall Street Journal reports.
As Guggenheim notes, demand for infrastructure assets remains durable regardless of economic conditions and market factors.
“The infrastructure asset class offers investors the opportunity to realize enhanced return and capital appreciation. Offering strong cash flow potential, assets with typically long life spans, as well as relatively low volatility and significant barriers to entry, infrastructure provides investors with access to an emerging segment of the market aligned with the global recovery,” said the issuer.
