SECTOR COVERAGE Appetite for investment in infrastructure has grown significantly as the low-yield environment and volatile financial markets have driven investors to examine alternatives to financial assets. Infrastructure assets can offer long-term, stable cash flows, generally with low volatility compared to other asset classes. At the same time, governments have increased their reliance on private sector funds and public markets to fund the core infrastructure that countries need to support and sustain economic growth. We have significant experience of supporting clients on a range of infrastructure projects: - Transport: Airports, seaports, roads, railways. - Utilities: Electricity, gas, telecommunications, water, postal services. - Social: Education facilities, hospitals and other community facilities. SECTOR EXPERIENCE PORTS We have significant experience of producing projections of port throughput. Our forecasts of seaborne cargo flows are built on the outlook for individual commodity flows and constructed using a combination of econometric techniques and bottom-up analysis to ensure robust and dependable projections for all seaborne cargo types. We can also construct cargo forecasts consistent with alternative economic scenarios to help clients to understand potential risks. Clients: Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Port of Melbourne, Mitsubishi Corporation, Anglo Swiss Maritime, British Ports Association, European Community Ship-owners Association.
