HOOPP Infrastructure

The HOOPP Infrastructure team was established to support HOOPP’s strategic plan, strengthen portfolio diversification, and generate strong risk-adjusted returns.

The inherent long-term characteristics of the infrastructure asset class align well with HOOPP’s forward-looking commitment to pay pensions. HOOPP Infrastructure is well-positioned to contribute to Fund growth and to help ensure that HOOPP’s future obligations are met.

HOOPP Infrastructure aims to provide fund security and deliver returns through high-value and long-duration investments in sectors such as communications and data, power generation and transmission, energy, transportation, and utilities.

Infrastructure investment strategy: key elements

• Execute large scale capital commitments and co-investments with a small group of external managers (“GP”), targeting capital appreciation and long-term cash-flow. HOOPP Infrastructure seeks to form lasting relationships to generate strong risk-adjusted returns on its GP-managed fund investments and desirable large scale co-investment opportunities.
• Co-underwrite large investments, collaborating on due diligence and investment underwriting, and sharing costs alongside GPs, peer institutions and industrial partners.
• Underwrite and execute direct investment opportunities either on our own or as a consortium partner.
• Consider Sustainable Investing matters across all investments, targeting strong risk-adjusted returns in combination with appropriate environmental, social and governance characteristics.
