Infrastructure. The foundation for everything else
Germany needs 1.3 trillion euros in infrastructure investments by 2040, 13 trillion euros across Europe.1 Mobile networks, district heating lines, fibre optic cables, schools, administrative buildings: The need is concrete, the backlog real. State funds alone do not close this gap. 88 percent of people in Germany consider infrastructure investments to be relevant.2 Private capital is in demand - and required.
Infrastructure is not a new asset class for Commerz Real. With 54 years of experience in the management of real assets and around 100 implemented infrastructure projects with a total volume of around 4.3 billion euros3, Commerz Real has a proven track record. The focus is consistently on established technologies with proven performance: in Germany and Europe.
What sets infrastructure investments apart: Your income comes mainly from long-term contracts with public or regulated customers, regardless of economic cycles or equity markets. Many contracts contain inflation protection clauses that link income to price development. Infrastructure can act as a stabilising element in a broad portfolio. For private and institutional investors.
