Infrafintech

Infrastructure Advisory

DiliCapital works with governments, regulators, project sponsors, and stakeholders on policies, regulations, financial market reforms supporting infrastructure financing.

We provide financing services on developing bankable project pipelines, partnership with development banks and infrastructure agencies to strengthen institutional capacity, develop investment vehicles, credit enhancement instruments, and mobilize advisory and financing services across different infrastructure sectors to build more robust markets for infrastructure assets

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.
