Endowus Expands Alternative Investment Capabilities with Launch of Innovative Private Infrastructure Portfolio

• The new Endowus private infrastructure portfolio provides investors with access to a growing global asset class that has exceeded US$1.5 trillion in assets under management, supported by sustained capital needs across energy transition, digital infrastructure, utilities, and transport.
• Designed with long-term investing in mind, the innovative multi-manager portfolio aims to provide investors with diversification across different geographies and infrastructure strategies, allowing investors to capture the benefits associated with private infrastructure investing.
• The underlying portfolio provides access to decades of private infrastructure expertise by global infrastructure firms, including Ardian, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, EQT, KKR, Macquarie Asset Management and Stonepeak, who have collectively raised more than US$200 billion in infrastructure capital.

Singapore, 22 January 2026 — Endowus, Asia’s leading independent wealth advisor and investment platform, today announced the launch of its private infrastructure portfolio, an innovative solution designed to provide Accredited Investors (AIs) in Singapore and Professional Investors (PIs) in Hong Kong with institutional-grade access to private infrastructure strategies that have historically been difficult to access directly.

‍

The new portfolio is built to capture the structural forces reshaping the global economy, from digitalisation and electrification to energy transition and the renewal of essential physical systems. It is launched at a time when investor interest in real-world assets is growing. Private infrastructure is expected to reach US$3 trillion by 2030, having more than tripled from  US$500 billion in 2016  to US$1.5 trillion in 2024.

Financing the growing global investment gap

As countries modernise their economies and invest in digital, energy-efficient and more resilient systems, the scale of required infrastructure spending continues to increase.  However, public funding has struggled to keep pace. According to the G20’s Global Infrastructure Hub, the cumulative gap between infrastructure supply and demand is projected to reach $15 trillion by 2040, against an estimated US$94 trillion required across energy, transport, water, and digital infrastructure.

‍

This persistent shortfall has created a sustained role for private capital in financing long-duration, mission-critical assets that underpin economic activity and daily life — from transport networks and utilities to data centres and essential public systems.

‍

“Infrastructure has, and will continue to be, the bedrock upon which future growth depends on. From large-scale, financial projects such as new airport terminals to nation-critical waste and water systems, the importance of infrastructure cannot be understated. Endowus is excited to partner with many of these esteemed private infrastructure investors in providing our clients with access to this incredible opportunity set. We believe private infrastructure can play a strategic role in portfolios by combining long-term contracted cash flows, inflation resilience, and exposure to structural growth drivers that are often underrepresented in public markets,” said Samuel Rhee, Chairman and Group Chief Investment Officer, Endowus.  

A multi-faceted role across long-term investment horizons

As an asset class, private infrastructure offers a combination of growth, income, and resilience that is difficult to replicate. It has also historically demonstrated lower correlation with traditional equities and fixed income, enhancing diversification and helping to smooth portfolio outcomes during periods of market volatility.

‍

These characteristics allow private infrastructure to play multiple, complementary roles within a portfolio—supporting long-term growth objectives, generating income, managing inflation risk, and strengthening overall portfolio resilience with greater clarity around expected outcomes.

‍

Sueann Yeo, Head of APAC Private Wealth Client Relations & Capital Raising at EQT, commented, "EQT continues to partner with Endowus on private market strategies for clients and we are excited about the Endowus Private Infrastructure portfolio which is designed to provide diversified exposure to infrastructure investing

opportunities.”

A diversified, global approach backed by leading infrastructure managers

The Endowus private infrastructure portfolio is constructed using a diversified, global approach, drawing on the investment strategies of established General Partners with deep sector expertise and proven track records across market cycles. The portfolio provides exposure to a broad range of infrastructure strategies—including core, core-plus, value-added, opportunistic, secondaries, and infrastructure debt—across developed markets in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

‍

The portfolio provides access to underlying strategies managed by global infrastructure firms such as Ardian, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, EQT, KKR, Macquarie Asset Management, Stonepeak and others. All direct investment GPs (Macquarie, EQT, KKR, Stonepeak and CIP) are ranked in the top 10 largest infrastructure fund managers by Infrastructure Investor, the world’s leading authority on private infrastructure markets.

Expanding institutional-grade access to private markets

The launch marks Endowus’ fifth investment solution for Accredited and Professional Investors in the past 12 months, reflecting growing client demand for private markets and alternatives as investors seek broader diversification beyond public markets. Growth in Endowus’ alternatives segment has been significant, with a 60% year-on-year increase in clients, and over 80% of private wealth clients self-serving alternative investments through the Endowus app on the back of a hybrid client advisory service.

‍

This reflects Endowus’ continued commitment to expanding access to institutional-quality private markets in thoughtful and deliberate ways, including meaningfully reducing minimum investment thresholds for sophisticated private wealth strategies.

‍

As part of a broader alternatives allocation, private infrastructure serves as a natural complement to public markets, private credit, and private equity—supporting more resilient, well-aligned portfolios for Accredited and Professional Investors over the long term.
