The Asset 17 Dec 2014
AMP Capital has received a US$200 million commitment, with additional co-investment rights, from Canadian pension plan Ontario Pension Board (OPB) to invest in its global infrastructure strategy launched in October 2014.
 
AMP Capital global head of infrastructure equity Boe Pahari said: “Growing numbers of institutional investors are seeking greater exposure to alternative assets such as infrastructure, attracted to its predictable risk-adjusted returns, consistent yields and portfolio diversification.  AMP Capital’s global infrastructure strategy is a great way to gain access to an asset class that is benefiting from unprecedented demand across the globe for infrastructure investment.”
 
Investors in the global infrastructure strategy have immediate access to an existing portfolio of diversified European infrastructure equity assets worth US$750 million.  The strategy has a target size of US$2 billion, with new inflows used to acquire additional assets in OECD countries in sectors such as transport, communication and utilities.
 
AMP Capital has been building its presence in North America and has a growing infrastructure equity investment team based in New York. 
 
AMP Capital head of Americas, infrastructure equity Dylan Foo said: “There are an increasing number of investment opportunities in North America, making it an important region for AMP Capital as we grow our business.  We continue to focus on mid-market opportunities where we see relative value versus larger transactions.  We look forward to expanding the global infrastructure strategy by attracting additional commitments from North American investors as well as acquiring high-quality assets in the region for our clients and the strategy.”
