What is IF
An Infrastructure Fund
is a type of mutual fund established to mobilize funds from general and institutional investors for investment in Thailand’s infrastructure projects widely beneficial to the general people. Infrastructure projects are essential and constructive for national development; however, they inevitably require a significant amount of investment. Infrastructure funds, therefore, ease the government’s budgeting burden and public debts, and provide to the private sector an alternative fund raising scheme for the development of these infrastructure projects.
Infrastructure Funds may invest in the following 10 types of infrastructure projects:
- rail transit systems
- electricity
- water
- roads, highways, and concession ways
- airfields or airports
- deep water ports
- telecommunications
- alternative energy
- water management system/irrigation system
- natural disaster protections system
