Our Infrastructure Investment Program

We invest in projects with strong cash flow characteristics, where we have identified opportunities in partnership with the management, to effect change and profitability.

We seek entities with proven management teams, looking for a non-disruptive capital raise, allowing DiliCapital to achieve a leveraged buy-in where necessary.

We seek to add value through an operationally focused mindset, direct engagement with stakeholders, diligence in the project management, transparency, and accountability.

We apply three tiers of underwriting for our infrastructure investments: external commercial credit underwriting by an insurance company; internal proprietary underwriting; and our proprietary risk-mitigated equity underwriting.

We invest in infrastructure projects that can utilize investment-grade credit guarantees issued, on behalf of DiliCapital for the benefit of the project, qualifying as senior debt issued by a commercial or investment bank.
