2 Preqin Special Report: US Infrastructure Download the data pack: Foreword The infrastructure market in North America remains the world s largest, with the assets under management (AUM) of unlisted infrastructure funds investing in the region standing at $143bn at the end of H1 215, with the majority of activity taking place in the US, a major centre for infrastructure fundraising and investment. An estimated $154bn of transactions was completed in the US over 215 an all-time high driven by increasing valuations for existing operational infrastructure assets pushing average deal values to record levels. While North America-focused unlisted funds have performed favourably in comparison to other private capital strategies a median net IRR of 1.8% was second only to buyout infrastructure funds had the lowest amount of risk. However, with valuations rising, fund managers may face diffi culties in replicating this performance in future. Driving the growth of the asset class in the region are the high numbers of US-based institutions committing capital to infrastructure. These investors represent an important source of capital, with approximately $17tn in combined AUM. Their contributions to the asset class look set to increase over the next 12 months: two-thirds of US-based investors are currently below their target allocation to the asset class, demonstrating that there is a signifi cant pool of potential capital which is likely to fl ow into infrastructure as these investors move closer to their targets. US-based infrastructure fi rms have been some of the most successful in securing institutional investor capital over the last decade, illustrated by the fact that these managers make up just over a fi fth of the global population, yet account for 42% ($173bn) of the aggregate capital raised globally in the last decade. Furthermore, over two-fi fths of managers in the US have secured over $1bn in capital over the period.

4 Preqin Special Report: US Infrastructure Download the data pack: Fundraising Fundraising for solely US-focused unlisted infrastructure funds reached its peak in 214 when 12 funds closed raising an aggregate $13.2bn (Fig. 1). However, fundraising slowed signifi cantly in 215: four funds closed raising approximately $7mn. Aggregate capital raised so far this year has already surpassed the amount raised in 215, with Carlyle Power Partners II reaching a fi nal close on $1.5bn in April 216. US-focused infrastructure funds closed in 214 raised an average of $1.1bn, a four-year high (Fig. 2). However, after a challenging year for US-focused fundraising, average fund size fell to only $164mn in 215. Fig. 3 further illustrates the fundraising success achieved in 214, with 5 of funds closed that year exceeding their target; by contrast, no funds exceeded their target in 215. The largest fund closed since 214 is Energy Capital Partners III which raised $5.1bn and held a fi nal close in March 214 (Fig. 4).

5 Download the data pack: Preqin Special Report: US Infrastructure Funds in Market The number of solely US-focused unlisted infrastructure funds in market has fl uctuated since April 211; as of April 216 there are 21 funds in market, targeting $11.9bn in aggregate capital commitments (Fig. 5). While this is a higher number of funds than in previous years, the aggregate capital targeted is not as much as the $15.8bn in April 214. The average target size of USfocused funds in markets is currently $743mn, lower than in 214 ($1.1bn) and 215 ($764mn). Most of the unlisted infrastructure funds in market have been seeking capital for a relatively short period of time. Almost half of funds have been on the road for less than a year, with 36% of funds spending between one and two years in market, and 16% of funds spending more than two years in market (Fig. 6). Ares EIF Management V is the largest solely US-focused unlisted infrastructure fund currently in market, seeking $2bn in institutional investor capital (Fig. 7). The fund invests primarily in US-based energy generation and transmission assets with long-term contracts that provide current income and capital appreciation. There are currently four funds seeking $1bn to invest in US infrastructure: CIM Infrastructure Fund II, North Haven Energy Capital Fund, Tenaska Energy Fund III and Warwick Partners III.

6 Preqin Special Report: US Infrastructure Download the data pack: Fund Managers Preqin s Infrastructure Online contains detailed information on 111 US-based infrastructure fund managers. Compared to other private capital investments, such as private equity and real estate, infrastructure is a relatively young asset class; 47% of US-based infrastructure fund managers are fi rst-time fund managers, with only 21% having raised more than three funds previously (Fig. 8). Nevertheless, managers based in the US typically have longer operating histories than those based in some other regions Preqin Special Report: European Infrastructure found that 56% of European fund managers were fi rst-time fund managers, with only 8% having raised more than three funds previously. Despite the relative youth of the asset class, when looking at the amount of capital these managers have raised for unlisted vehicles in the last 1 years, over two-fi fths of managers have raised $1bn or more in aggregate capital (Fig. 9). Conversely, just 14% have raised less than $1mn in the same period. The fundraising success of USbased infrastructure fund managers is further illustrated by the fact that these managers make up just 23% of global fund managers, but account for 42% ($173bn) of the aggregate capital raised globally in the last 1 years by infrastructure fi rms. The largest US-based managers listed by total capital raised in the last 1 years for closed-end infrastructure vehicles are shown in Fig. 1. By a large margin, Global Infrastructure Partners tops the list with $27.5bn in capital raised, and currently holds $14.7bn in dry powder. EIG Global Energy Partners and ArcLight Capital Partners follow, having raised $13.2bn and $13.1bn, respectively. However, the estimated dry powder for these two fi rms is much smaller, currently standing at $2.8bn and $3.9bn, respectively.

7 Download the data pack: Preqin Special Report: US Infrastructure Assets under Management, Dry Powder and Performance North America is the world s largest infrastructure market, with the majority of funds targeting the region focusing on investment in the US. H1 215 saw a slight drop in the AUM* of the North America-focused unlisted infrastructure fund industry to $143bn, just below the peak seen in December 214 ($147bn, Fig. 11). Despite this slowdown, there has been 77% growth in North Americafocused infrastructure assets since December 21, illustrative of the rapid growth of the industry in the region, particularly in the US, in recent years. Of the total AUM in June 215, $92bn was held by fi rms as unrealized value in infrastructure assets, while capital committed to North America-focused funds that had not yet been called by fund managers (dry powder) amounted to $51bn. Fig. 11: North America-Focused Infrastructure Assets under Management*, December 24 - June 215 Assets under Management ($bn) Dec-4 Dec Dec Dec-7 23 Dec-8 31 Dec-9 46 Dec Dec-11 Dec Dec Dec Jun-15 Unrealized Value ($bn) Dry Powder ($bn) With the exception of 26, for all vintage years examined, the majority of capital is still held in infrastructure assets, refl ecting the long-term nature of the investments made by infrastructure funds (Fig. 12). The median distributions to paid-in capital (DPI) by vintage year are less than 1 across all vintages, meaning relatively few funds have distributed large portions of their capital. Vintage 29 funds have distributed the largest proportion of capital to investors, with a median DPI of 78%. While North America-focused unlisted infrastructure funds are generally expected to have a relatively low risk/ return profi le in comparison to other private capital strategies, these funds have the lowest risk of the strategies examined and the second highest return after buyout (Fig. 13). North Americafocused infrastructure funds have generated a median net IRR of 1.8%, a higher return than North Americafocused private real estate (+9.4%) and venture capital (+8.9%) vehicles, although lower than buyout funds (+12.6%). They did so with the lowest amount of risk (12.3% standard deviation of net IRRs) compared to private real estate (15.9%), buyout (17.3%) and venture capital (2.8%) funds.

8 Preqin Special Report: US Infrastructure Download the data pack: Institutional Investors Preqin s Infrastructure Online contains detailed profi les for over 2,7 institutional investors actively targeting infrastructure, including over 94 based in the US. The US market consists of a diverse mix of institutional investors, with endowment plans, foundations, pension funds and private wealth institutions representing the majority of infrastructure investors (Fig. 14). High numbers of typically smaller institutional investor types such as endowment plans and foundations mean that 42% of investors hold less than $1bn in AUM, with nearly three-quarters (73%) of the investor population possessing less than $5bn in AUM (Fig. 15). The majority of US-based infrastructure investors prefer not to invest in the asset class through a separate infrastructure allocation, choosing instead to invest via their real assets (36% of investors) or private equity allocation (, Fig. 16). In contrast, more than a third (36%) of investors based outside the US invest in infrastructure through a dedicated allocation to the asset class. As seen in Fig. 17, there is a clear preference among US-based infrastructure investors for unlisted vehicles: 93% gain exposure to the asset class through this route. Likely due to the high number of investors with less than $1bn in AUM, direct investment in assets is less prevalent among USbased institutional investors, and is employed by only 13% of investors. By contrast, nearly a third (32%) of investors based elsewhere have a preference for direct investment in infrastructure. Due to the relative youth of the infrastructure asset class in many investors portfolios, the majority of US-based institutions allocate a comparatively small proportion of their total assets to infrastructure; over threequarters (76%) of institutional investors hold less than of their AUM in the Fig. 14: US-Based Institutional Investors in Infrastructure by Type 7% 6% 17% Endowment Plan 3% 4% Foundation 18% asset class (Fig. 18). Encouragingly, twothirds of US-based investors are underallocated to the asset class, indicating that additional capital is likely to fl ow into infrastructure as these investors move closer to their targets (Fig. 19).

10 Preqin Special Report: US Infrastructure Download the data pack: Deals Preqin s Infrastructure Online features detailed profi les for approximately 13,1 infrastructure deals, including information on over 2,4 completed transactions in the US. Fig. 21 reveals that the annual number of infrastructure deals completed in the US has varied since 27. There was a sharp reduction in deals from 27 to 29 before the number of completed US transactions rose annually, from 1 in 29 to 214 in 213. Correspondingly, there has been a rise in estimated aggregate deal value since 21, and while the number of deals has dropped slightly from 213 levels, aggregate deal value has continued to rise, reaching an all-time high in 215 ($154bn). Deal fl ow has been relatively slow so far in 216, with 69 transactions completed for a reported $29.7bn. Fig. 21: Number and Aggregate Value of Completed US Infrastructure Deals, YTD (As at 4 May 216) No. of Deals YTD No. of Deals Reported Aggregate Deal Value ($bn) Estimated Aggregate Deal Value ($bn) Aggregate Deal Value ($bn) Rising valuations for infrastructure assets and a smaller number of deals completed annually has pushed average deal size higher, reaching a record $82mn in 215. This represents a 36% increase on the average deal size seen in 214 and a 183% increase compared to the low seen in 21 ($283mn, Fig. 22). Fig. 23 shows how the rise in aggregate deal value has been driven by larger deals being completed in recent years; since 212, the proportion of deals valued at $1bn or more has increased signifi cantly from just of transactions in 212 to 27% of all US deals in 215. Similarly, there has been a notable decline in the proportion of smaller transaction sizes: in 21, deals valued at less than $5mn represented 87% of US deals compared with 54% in 215. Deals involving renewable energy assets, such as wind, hydro and solar power, account for the majority (52%) of completed transactions since 214, while transactions in the utilities (21%) and other energy sectors (18%) make up notable proportions (Fig. 24). An example of a recent renewable energy transaction is the acquisition of the 1.4 GW New England Hydro Power Portfolio by Public Sector Pension Investment Board from Engie for a total consideration of $1.2bn in February 216. The portfolio consists of 12 operational hydropower plants situated primarily on the Connecticut River in Massachusetts and the Housatonic River in Connecticut.
