Infrastructure Investor Keynote Interview: Featuring Ares Management’s Patrick Trears and Roopa Murthy

With its relative downside protection and potential to benefit from today’s powerful mega-trends, infrastructure debt is becoming increasingly popular with investors.

While digital infrastructure and energy are fuelling dealflow in this segment, transportation and utilities are also providing compelling opportunities.

The opportunity set differs by geography, however, with an emphasis on M&A-driven  transactions in Europe and on infrastructure buildout in the US.

And according to Ares Management partners Patrick Trears, global head of infrastructure debt, and Roopa Murthy, head of infrastructure debt for EMEA, that buildout should accelerate in the current macro environment.
