Overview

 

Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners is a leading global infrastructure investment platform.

 

Founded in 2006, Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners (“MSIP”) is a global leader in private infrastructure equity investing, targeting assets that provide essential public goods and services primarily located in OECD countries, with the potential for value creation through active asset management. With a diverse team across 6 offices in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, MSIP leverages a comprehensive network of relationships to source investments in sectors such as transportation, digital, energy transition, and utilities. MSIP’s investors include some of the largest and most sophisticated pension, sovereign wealth and insurance companies across the globe.

As an infrastructure investor, we seek assets with long useful lives that perform essential services to society while generating stable, predictable cash flows that are linked to inflation.  Our focus sectors include Power Generation and Utilities, Natural Gas, Transportation, and Digital Infrastructure.  We take an opportunistic approach across various other sectors.

We have a strong track record of differentiated deal sourcing through our network of relationships and Morgan Stanley’s global franchise and we have exclusively negotiated a large majority of our investments.

We take a “hands on” approach to creating value. We prefer strong governance positions, typically through controlling or co-controlling stakes, so that we have the ability to execute planned operational improvements and, over the medium to long term, build and exit a self-sufficient asset.

REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

We are committed to conducting our business activities in an environmentally safe and responsible manner, and look to minimize any negative impacts, specifically in the areas of energy, waste, water, and biodiversity.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND MITIGATION

We perform robust due diligence, collaborating with internal and external ESG specialists, with ongoing monitoring and assessment of environmental risks. This translates into continuous investment, testing and maintenance with an aim of operational excellence.

COMMITMENT TO A LOW-CARBON FUTURE

We are committed not to invest in any entities whose principal business is the operation of coal-fired power plants.1

BIODIVERSITY

We aim to preserve the natural biodiversity of our assets’ locations and believe maintaining balanced ecosystems is critical for a sustainable future. We seek to assess a variety of biodiversity metrics, including sensitive wetlands, threatened species habitats, coastal erosion and deforestation as appropriate.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

We believe diversity of backgrounds and perspectives leads to better decisions, improvement of employee engagement and, ultimately, productivity. We seek to promote diverse and inclusive workplace cultures, further gender balance, and have zero tolerance against any type of discrimination.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Morgan Stanley is committed to supporting the protection and advancement of human rights in our business and throughout our supply chain. With operations around the world, we strive to uphold global standards for responsible business, including equal opportunity, freedom to associate and bargain collectively, and the elimination of child and forced labor.

HEALTH, SAFETY & WORKING CONDITIONS

We are committed to working with portfolio companies to build a rigorous culture of safety. Workplace health and safety initiatives include the ‘near miss’ and ‘job hazard analysis’ programs, which reflect increased employee awareness of safety hazards, as well as a focus on recordable injuries and lost time, ultimately all with the intent to cause a lasting change in the behavior of employees and strive for zero accidents.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

We believe positive involvement with stakeholders, e.g. employees, customers, and the communities in which they operate, contribute to solving societal challenges and build stakeholder trust.

ETHICS & INTEGRITY

Our portfolio companies strive to uphold high ethical standards at all times and follow standard codes of business conduct, including anti-corruption and anti-money laundering policies and procedures. Employees and contractors are encouraged to ask questions, voice concerns and report any alleged violations of company policies.

BOARD LEADERSHIP

Through our board representation, which typically reflects control equity positions, the board assesses management’s policies, practices and performance; it reviews plans and proposals for ESG metrics, policies and the measurement of progress with a focus on continuous long-term improvement.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH KEY CONSTITUENTS

We look to foster long-term relationships and build trust and good will with all key constituents, including regulators and contractors. Our constituents help shape our ESG efforts by sharing valuable feedback on new ideas, best practices and industry trends, where applicable.

MANAGEMENT ALIGNMENT

Management team compensation plans are developed to ensure alignment with corporate objectives including ESG factors and targeted outcomes.

Alternative investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. Investors could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. Alternative investments are suitable only for long-term investors willing to forego liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. Alternative investments are typically highly illiquid – there is no secondary market for private funds, and there may be restrictions on redemptions or assigning or otherwise transferring investments into private funds. Alternative investment funds often engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and risk of loss. Alternative investments typically have higher fees and expenses than other investment vehicles, and such fees and expenses will lower returns achieved by investors.

In the ordinary course of its business, Morgan Stanley engages in a broad spectrum of activities including, among others, financial advisory services, investment banking, asset management activities and sponsoring and managing private investment funds. In engaging in these activities, the interest of Morgan Stanley may conflict with the interests of clients.

Alternative investment funds are often unregulated, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds, and are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors. The investment strategies described in the preceding pages may not be suitable for your specific circumstances; accordingly, you should consult your own tax, legal or other advisors, at both the outset of any transaction and on an ongoing basis, to determine such suitability.

No investment should be made without proper consideration of the risks and advice from your tax, accounting, legal or other advisors as you deem appropriate.
