Sovereign funds prominent investors in infrastructure assets

A report prepared by KFH-Research regarding the performance and status of global infrastructure funds market, mentioned that despite the recent poor performance of subscriptions and money gathering, infrastructure funds are expected to attract more investors and to continue achieving reasonable growth; especially after the growing trend to spend funds on in infrastructure projects and the participation of the private sector in those projects. In addition, the report noted that infrastructure funds began to recover starting from 2010, where total collected money reached $32 billion, before dropping to $16 billion in 2011. The report expected to have the same value this year, which is $16 billion, and mentioned that sovereign funds, especially in the region, are the most prominent investors in infrastructure assets.
