PERENNIAL
Infrastructure Fund
JA Investments is a limited partner in Perennial Infrastructure Fund I, a strategy focused on essential water infrastructure assets across the United States. The fund targets investments in water treatment, distribution, recycling, and related infrastructure supported by long-term contracts and critical service demand. Through partnerships with experienced operators, including PERENfra and Garney, the strategy seeks to originate and develop assets in a fragmented market with significant capital needs and limited institutional competition.
The investment thesis is supported by a substantial and growing infrastructure funding gap, with U.S. water systems requiring significant long-term investment to maintain and upgrade aging assets. The fund aims to generate attractive returns through a combination of contracted cash flows, development upside, and disciplined capital deployment into essential, non-discretionary infrastructure. These investments are expected to provide durable, inflation-aware cash flows with lower correlation to traditional markets while benefiting from long-term structural demand for water resources and sustainability initiatives.
