Value-add philosophy
Vesper Infrastructure Partners applies a distinctive and proven value-add philosophy that has been refined and tested over decades of infrastructure investing.
Our approach is built around three main pillars:
Identification of attractive targets active in key infrastructure themes, which shows clear exposure to relevant megatrends. Proactive identification of companies that show a direct exposure to megatrends and can benefit from their growth and return generation potential.
Focus only on companies that possess fundamental infrastructure characteristics, which are required to deliver robust capital protection features.
Institutionalisation and Implementation of a proprietary industrial, high performance, governance framework which is used to bring discipline and accelerate the execution of the envisaged business transformation and value creation strategy.
Furthermore, Vesper Infrastructure Partners is a partner-owned and fully independent advisor, focused exclusively on sourcing, negotiating and managing next generation infrastructure investment opportunities in the mid cap segment, line with the stated investment strategy of the Fund.
The full ownership of Vesper Infrastructure Partners is held by the Founding Members, who invest directly or indirectly alongside the Investors in the Fund as Special Limited Partners, ensuring alignment of interests with the Investors in the Partnership.
