The Infrastructure Investments Group (IIG) is a dedicated team and business unit within JPMAM Global Alternatives focused on advising a perpetual‑life strategy that offers investors a moderate‑risk, long‑term approach to private infrastructure equity investing that is diversified both in terms of geography and subsector. The strategy is one of the largest of its kind with approximately USD 47 billion in committed capital under management, representing more than 10 times growth in assets under management over the past 10 years.

The current portfolio includes 18 companies that own about 1,053 underlying assets globally. The IIG team is comprised of 40 dedicated Investment Principals and 30 specialist team members (fundraising, investor relations, execution, tax, research and finance), based in London and New York.

The strategy focuses on active management through control positions (majority equity ownership) in private companies as the long‑term owner of companies that provide essential services (water, heat and electricity such as renewable energy; water, natural gas and electric utilities; and trains and airports). Geographically the strategy is focused primarily in the U.S., Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and secondarily in other OECD countries.
