AMP Capital infrustructure investment succeeds target
Focusing on assets in the middle market is the key to securing a wider range of investments, which is seeing more than 50 institutional investors committing to AMP Capital's global infrastructure platform, which closed US$400 million above target at final close on 29 December last year, according to an AMP Capital Executive.
AMP Capital global head of infrastructure equity, Boe Pahari, said the AMP Capital global infrastructure fund had closed at US$.2.4 billion and attracted interest from the US and UK, as well as from Middle Eastern, Western European, Japanese, and Australian investors.
"We've evolved the global infrastructure platform to capture the best opportunities around the world, and the breadth of investors wanting to invest is testament to their belief in our investment strategy," he said.
"With our sector, geography and asset management expertise, along with an encouraging global deal pipeline for infrastructure, we are looking forward to securing more key assets."
AMP Capital added four new assets to its infrastructure portfolio offerings since January 2016, including an emergency rescue and response service in Europe offshore oil, gas and wind industries, as well as a sustainable and business critical energy infrastructure service across Finland, Sweden and Estonia.
Pahari said AMP Capital's focus on assets in middle market helped to secure the success of the portfolio, which would continue to be an attractive pool for new investors moving forward.
