Asset Factor Infrastructure Services takes The Asset Factor proposition into Industrial and Infrastructure sectors.

The Asset Factor asset management philosophy and its core investment focus in ‘Property Operator’ businesses apply equally well to the Industrial and Infrastructure sectors.

As an Asset Manager we help our Industrial and Infrastructure clients manage their business risks, make the best use of assets and handle balance sheet liabilities through a variety of bespoke property and financial transactions.

Most pertinent is applying the Property Operating Wrap concept, to cover the capital and lifecycle spend required on an industrial or infrastructure company’s buildings, whether new or existing. This provides cost certainty, cash flow and profit and loss smoothing, with lifecycle costs efficiently funded and managed. The result is that the building remains nearer its maximum use value for longer.

In ‘Property Operating’, we help our clients get the best from their assets by drawing upon The Asset Factor’s ventures and expert partners – such as help desk training; serviced industrial facilities and enhanced revenue generation.

We are now applying these approaches to the Industrial and Infrastructure Sector. As an example, in the airport sector we are investing, along with airport owners, in the development of non-core operational facilities, such as offices, warehouses, light manufacturing facilities. We initially work to improve the financial performance of the existing real estate, to improve customer service, lease quality, procurement etc, extracting as much value from the estate as possible. We then co-invest in new airport real estate facilities. Such investment is focussed on supporting the forecast passenger growth at the airport as well as catalysing extra revenue through the expansion of the real estate facilities.

In the broader industrial sector, the same concepts apply. Improvements to the existing property base are managed, and further strategic co-investments made, to secure the future or growth of the company. This could include utilities (CHP or renewable energy production facilities; reducing the carbon footprint of the company); new manufacturing or support facilities, more suited to the future of the company (eg r&d centre; locating key suppliers near the client, to improve supply chain); consolidation (re-configuring or relocating all facilities commonly).

In all cases we can amortise such capital and life-cycle investments over an appropriate period to the business, and provide the long-term service wrap required to ensure minimum operating cost and maximum use value for the facilities.
