Role Summary

The Infrastructure Investments Group (“IIG” or the “Group”) 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 advised by IIG is one of the largest of its kind with c.US**$47** billion in committed capital under management, representing approximately 11 times growth in assets under management over the past 10 years. The current portfolio includes 18 companies that in turn own c.1,035 underlying assets globally. The IIG team is comprised of 39 dedicated Investment Principals and 32 specialist team members including 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, which are all vital to the economic health and productivity of the communities in which they operate. Geographically, the strategy is focused primarily in the U.S., Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and secondarily in other OECD countries.
