Torbjorn Caesar coverage in IPE Real Assets: Why not invest in ‘most of the world’?

Actis Chairman and Senior Partner, Torbjorn Caesar, was interviewed by Richard Lowe of IPE Real Assets for a feature piece on the growth markets infrastructure investment opportunity. Click here to read the full article or read on below for a snapshot of Torbjorn’s commentary.

Torbjorn Caesar, Chairman and Senior Partner at Actis, commented:

“Some people have said ‘rest of the world’ but actually it is most of the world – because it is where 85% of the world population lives. And where you have that 85% of the world population, two-thirds of all investment opportunities and investment needs are in those markets – but you only have one-third of the capital chasing it, because two-thirds are busy in Europe and the US.

“Being where one-third of the capital chases two-thirds of the opportunities just creates a much better risk-return outcome than being with two-thirds chasing one-third of the opportunities. The need for new electricity is really massive in that part of the world.”
