Explain the routes and vehicles for gaining infrastructure exposure and what each one is suited to

Large institutions invest directly, gaining control and long holding periods but needing specialist teams and scale. Unlisted closed-end funds give access and diversification, but their fixed lives are short compared with the life of the assets. Open-ended or evergreen funds suit core, long-hold assets. Co-investments cut fees for investors able to act quickly. Listed infrastructure companies, listed funds and ETFs offer liquidity and small ticket sizes but carry stock-market volatility. Public-private partnerships let private capital build or run public assets under a concession. Investors can also take debt exposure through project loans and bonds. Choose by size, liquidity needs, governance capacity and fee budget. The trap: a closed-end fund may have to sell long-lived assets on its own timetable.
