With western economies anticipating annual GDP growth of just 0.2-2.7% over the next five years, more investors are diversifying their portfolios to take advantage of prospects in global markets. The most dynamic of these market economies are experiencing rapid urbanisation and population growth. In turn, this is driving investment into opportunities associated with infrastructure including transportation, energy, water and data centres and telecommunications services.

Markets considered the most dynamic offer robust financial market integration, significant global trade participation and annual GDP growth of 5%. These locations are boosting infrastructure development through more robust legal frameworks, appealing tax breaks and development of human capital. This is encouraging investment that is central to unlocking economic potential, enhancing competitiveness and delivering more growth.

This webinar, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Standard Chartered, brought together asset managers, institutional investors and financial services firms and examined whether now is the time for investors to increase their exposure to these dynamic markets. It evaluated the trends that are shaping market performance, and considered how to capitalise on the long-term returns that the infrastructure asset class potentially offers investors in the most dynamic of these global markets.
