Transport, energy, motorways, water&waste management and telecommunications provide people with essential services for their well-being and development. The financial stakes involved in providing infrastructures are very high for governments and local authorities and they are increasingly open to private investment. Being stable assets such infrastructure offers long-term visibility for financial returns and an attractive risk-return profile.

Since 2005, AXA Private Equity has invested in the equity of private companies in charge of infrastructure development and management – along with industrial and financial partners – who contribute their technical expertise or financial resources.

The expertise of the investment team combined with the partnerships made with industrials, make it one of the leading players in European infrastructure, with a unique ability to generate high-quality proprietary deal flow.
