Thematic approach to portfolio construction

KKR allocates capital across infrastructure assets and sectors using a risk-based and value creation-oriented approach, which has helped KKR identify three long-term trends that KKR believes provides a compelling opportunity today.

DIGITALISATION

Data is the fastest growing commodity in the world with global IP traffic expected to increase by 26% CAGR¹

DECARBONISATION

We believe there is tremendous opportunity to reduce the carbon intensity of traditional fossil fuel energy Infrastructure

DECONSOLIDATION

Industrials and corporates seek to create financial value and operational efficiency by divesting non-core assets

Potential Benefits of Investing in Private Infrastructure

Potential for Downside Protection^*

Essential services with strong market positions may create resiliency to economic shocks.

Potential for Cash Distribution

May provide an opportunity for consistent income supported by long-term contracts or regulated revenues.

Potential for Inflation Protection^*

KKR believes infrastructure can provide a natural hedge against inflation through pricing power and contracted adjustments.

Diversification^**

Potential low correlation to traditional asset classes and complementary to other real assets.

Upside Potential

Investment opportunities in thematic trends (e.g., digitisation, decarbonisation and deconsolidation) may benefit from sustainable, long-term industry tailwinds.
