Since launching Nuveen’s North American energy infrastructure credit platform in November 2022, Don Dimitrievich spoke with PDI about the compelling opportunity for infrastructure debt lending in North America, and why he believes managers who understand the entire energy infrastructure ecosystem, and have experience investing through credit cycles, will be best positioned to deliver the most attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors.
Key themes discussed include
- The benefits of investing in an infrastructure debt strategy in the context of the current high inflation and interest rate environment
- The inter-relationships between sustainable energy infrastructure and hydrocarbon commodities and the trends driving the industries
- How drawing on restructuring experience to target transactions with higher complexity can be a key advantage
- The advantages of leveraging Nuveen's broader infrastructure platform
- Incorporating responsible investing factors as part of the underwriting process
