Objectifs

The infrastructure sector sits at a collision point of global disruptions, including shifts in capital availability, evolving social and environmental priorities, and rapid urbanisation. Additionally, it has been proved that some profile of infrastructures (green energy or utilities transportation) present more financial and operational resilience than general investments during periods of uncertainty like the COVID pandemic, increasing the appeal for this profile of investments among institutional investors who use them as a potential source of risk diversification.
The pressing global need for substantial infrastructure is widely recognised. The challenge is not just to fund the massive investment required and target it at the right infrastructure projects but also to provide the required infrastructure on an affordable, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable basis.

Therefore, there is an emerging need of developing knowledge and critical thinking within the investors community in order to narrow the gap between funding availability and the market opportunities in the infrastructure sub-sectors.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • gain a deep view of the different main segments included within the infrastructure sector;
  • understand the different key concepts impacting the infrastructure operations (focused on the main infrastructure categories, including green energy and transportation);
  • understand and apply the conceptual framework to perform a valuation assessment (focused on the main infrastructure categories, including green energy and transportation);
  • understand the various recognised valuation methodologies used.

Contenu

  • Key technical concepts of infrastructure
  • Key valuation terms of infrastructure
  • Recognised valuation methodologies
  • Market multiples
  • Transaction multiples
  • Discounted cash flows
  • Risk assessment (discount rates adjustment for stage of life of the project)
  • A case study allowing participants to apply the concepts covered in the training
