Infrastructure investment has become increasingly important in recent years as governments seek private funding to upgrade roads, bridges, airports, and other public works projects. Investment banks with expertise in infrastructure financing are well positioned to capitalize on this growing need. Two banks stand out as top players in infrastructure investment banking: Australian firm Macquarie and Canadian company Brookfield. With a strong track record and global reach, these two giants currently dominate deal flow and advisory work in the infrastructure space. Macquarie, established in 1969, has been involved in infrastructure projects for decades and now manages over $160 billion in infrastructure assets. Its infrastructure team offers a full range of advisory, capital raising, principal investment and asset management services worldwide. Brookfield Asset Management entered infrastructure investing in 2002 and now oversees $75 billion in infrastructure investments across the utilities, transport, energy and data infrastructure sectors. It has extensive expertise in public-private partnerships (PPPs) and a powerful fundraising platform. Beyond these two heavyweights, other major banks with strong infrastructure franchises include JP Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi and Goldman Sachs. As governments increasingly turn to the private sector to finance infrastructure development, banks with expertise in deal structuring, credit analysis, and industry knowledge are poised to benefit.
