Retirement funds are key players in helping to tackle SA’s ailing infrastructure

In the ninth podcast in our “The More You Know” series, Marisa Bester, COO of Infrastructure Investment at STANLIB Asset Management, and Johan Marnewick, Head of Fixed Income Private Markets, speak to Jeremy Maggs about how this capital can be mobilised. They discuss different types of infrastructure projects, the risks involved, and how to measure their impact.

By working together, private equity and private credit can mobilise capital in a structure that meets the risk, return and impact requirements of the life and pension funds industry.
