Every great nation is built on strong infrastructure: roads that connect people, power that lights up industries, and systems that enable growth. Yet, for many African countries, and Nigeria in particular, one major question persists: where will the capital for all these projects come from?
That’s where the Coronation Infrastructure Fund (CIF) steps in.
What Is the Coronation Infrastructure Fund?
The Coronation Infrastructure Fund (CIF) is a closed-end infrastructure debt fund managed by Coronation Asset Management Limited and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In simple terms, it’s a bridge connecting long-term investors (like pension funds, sovereign wealth managers, and high-net-worth individuals) with infrastructure developers who need stable, patient capital to deliver large-scale projects.
Through this structure, investors gain access to long-term, risk-adjusted returns, while project sponsors get the capital they need to drive economic and social development.
Why Infrastructure Matters
Infrastructure is about building bridges or power plants and creating jobs, boosting productivity, and improving quality of life.
When infrastructure works, economies grow. People find employment, trade flows smoothly, and businesses expand.
Sustainable infrastructure projects also create ripple effects that touch every part of society, from better education and healthcare to cleaner air and more resilient cities.
A Push for Sustainable Development
The world has become increasingly conscious of the need for sustainability, ensuring that the progress we make today doesn’t compromise the future of generations to come.
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), introduced in 2015, highlight this balance between economic growth, social progress, and environmental protection. Nigeria has also shown commitment to this path through initiatives like the Paris Agreement (signed in 2016) and the Nigeria Energy Transition Plan (ETP), which aims for carbon neutrality by 2060.
CIF’s focus aligns perfectly with these global and national goals by supporting projects that combine profitability with developmental impact.
How CIF Helps Those Who Need Capital
For infrastructure developers, access to funding is often the biggest challenge. Banks tend to prefer short-term loans, which don’t fit well with the long-term nature of infrastructure projects.
The Coronation Infrastructure Fund solves this problem by providing long-term, patient capital. The kind that allows projects to mature and deliver sustainable results. This capital enables developers to take on projects that generate economic, social, and environmental benefits, such as:
- Job creation and income generation
- Improved healthcare and education
- Cleaner energy solutions and reduced carbon emissions
- Enhanced trade and economic diversification
How Investors Benefit
Investors, on the other hand, have the opportunity to make their money work smarter and more effectively. By investing in CIF, they gain:
- Attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns
- Portfolio diversification through exposure to real-sector assets
- Participation in nation-building by funding projects that create lasting impact
In essence, CIF turns investment into a tool for progress, one that rewards both financial returns and social responsibility.
A Shared Vision for a Sustainable Future
Sustainable development rests on three key pillars — economic, social, and environmental. CIF is designed to strengthen all three by channeling capital into infrastructure that supports job creation, economic growth, human development, and environmental preservation.
At Coronation, we believe that infrastructure is a foundation for opportunity.
And with the Coronation Infrastructure Fund, we’re helping investors and project sponsors work together to build a stronger, more sustainable Nigeria.
