Mobilising Insurance Investment in Sustainable Infrastructure

Published on:

Historically, insurers invest less than 2.5% of their portfolio in infrastructure even though infrastructure offers an attractive investment opportunity because it can deliver predictable and stable cash flows that match insurers long-term liabilities while also generating an illiquidity premium. This report breaks down the technical, regulatory, and financing challenges insurers face in scaling investment into low-carbon and climate-resilient infrastructure and offers solutions and insights into how the UN system and development finance institutions (DFIs) can support the industry to allocate a greater portion of its AUM into this critical asset class.
