Adapting to Persistent Inflation and Interest Rates

The current economic landscape is characterized by persistent inflationary pressures and expectations of sustained high interest rates. This outlook is influenced by recent US election results and suggests that major central banks will need to maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. As financing costs have risen due to these conditions, valuations in private equity and real estate have begun to cool, presenting a shift in investment opportunities. Infrastructure equity assets are perceived as more attractive now, with the potential for healthier deal activity driven by underlying structural shifts in the economy.
