AMP Capital Global Infrastructure platform has received commitments from investors in Japan, Australia, the US, Canada, Ireland and Belgium, the firm said.
Investor commitments of $540m, combined with the existing portfolio of diversified European infrastructure equity assets worth approximately $750m, indicates that the platform is more than half way toward meeting its target, the Australian firm said.
“Institutional investors have responded positively to our strategy, which is to focus on mature, brownfield assets that hold monopolies or long-term contracted revenues in sectors offering the best relative value,” said Boe Pahari, managing partner of the fund.
According to Pahari, the funds committed to the platform will be used to acquire additional assets in OECD countries in sectors such as transport, energy, communication and utilities.
Sydney-based AMP Capital is a specialist investment manager with $118bn in funds under management. It manages real estate and infrastructure, fixed income, equities and multi-asset products.
