PPPs provide much needed critical infrastructure often replacing older public sector properties with new state of the art facilities operated by experienced facilities management contractors. The investments provide stable long-term, index-linked cash flows backed by high quality public sector counterparties.

• Stable income from high quality counterparties: The investment companies receive availability-based revenues from public sector counterparties
• International delivery model: INPP has invested in PPP assets in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Europe and the UK
• Long-term, predictable cash flows: PPP concessions will typically last for between 25 and 35 years
• Risk transfer: Construction and operational risks are transferred to investment company’s supply chain partners
• Inflation-protected revenues: Revenues are generally inflation-linked and indexed to local inflation measures, such as the UK’s Retail Price Index (‘RPI’)
• Critical infrastructure: INPP’s PPP investments deliver much needed critical infrastructure to the public sector, supporting local societies and communities across our key geographies
