our RISK MODEL

Our approach to enhancing risk adjusted returns

OUR APPROACH

At I Squared, we use a robust framework 
to evaluate risk-adjusted returns for infrastructure assets.

This process seeks to leverage our team’s expertise to consistently assess investment attractiveness across sectors and geographies. Our approach supports building a globally diversified portfolio with low correlation, strong safety margins, and compelling risk-adjusted returns. Our risk assessment model, the Risk Wheel, serves three key purposes:

Evaluate Risk-Return Profiles

Assess the potential risk and return 
of every investment opportunity.

Track Performance

Provide measurable indicators to monitor the performance of investments over time.

Compare Relative Value

Analyze investments across sectors and regions to identify compelling opportunities.

Risk Wheel

The I Squared Risk Wheel evaluates ten critical risk factors shown below.

Each risk factor is scored out of 10 and given equal weighting such that when summed together, results in a risk score for the company out of 100. The higher the risk score, the higher the target gross IRR must be to justify the risk.
