Typology of Water Infrastructure Investors

The challenge of making water infrastructure projects ‘bankable’ could be partially addressed through a better understanding of investor types. Here, a typology comprising institutional investors, corporations, development financiers and philanthropists is proposed. We describe how a typological approach could help unlock new capital through mechanisms such as blended finance, investor and corporate engagement, and impact investment. A classification that is based on the mandate, motivation, materiality, mobility and momentum of different types of investors is presented.
