In one line: Infrastructure investing means owning long-lived, essential, usually monopoly-like physical assets. Examples are toll roads, airports, utilities, pipelines, towers, fibre, data centres and renewables. Their cash flows are tied to contracts, concessions or regulation. Done well, it is the private-markets asset class closest to an inflation-linked bond with equity upside. Done badly, it is a leveraged bet on traffic, regulators and refinancing markets.
