The INVL Partner Global Infrastructure Fund I, which is managed by INVL Asset Management and invests in the infrastructure fund of a world-class asset manager with a 26-year track record, is aiming to raise funds from investors.
An offering of the fund’s investment units starts on 7 October, with a preliminary ending date of 8 December. The fund’s units are distributed by the INVL Family Office.
“In turbulent markets, infrastructure remains an alternative asset class that is more resilient to fluctuations in value and long-term. Infrastructure investments enjoy stability because the developed assets generate a steady cash flow, have a long service life, and usually do not require significant additional investment for maintenance. This is also an opportunity to invest in a fund far from the ‘home’ market, with the majority of its assets located in the US and the UK, while at the same time buying a certain insurance against inflation and diversifying investment risk,” says Vytautas Plunksnis, Head of Private Equity at the INVL group.
He said units of the fund would also be offered later, since the master fund accepts investors periodically.
The INVL Partner Global Infrastructure Fund I invests in infrastructure in member states of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). To date it has raised USD 39.390 million from investors.
The minimum investment in the fund is USD 145,000 and its lifetime is 50 years, though opportunities for investors to realise their investments earlier are envisaged.
Global infrastructure is an attractive asset class with the trait of inflation protection. A portfolio which is diversified both geographically and for deal size, predictable income flows, a stable regulatory environment, an investment-grade credit rating and leadership in the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) area all make it possible to target a significant return for investors.
The strategy of investing in infrastructure assets is based on very long-term investment and high-quality core infrastructure in OECD member states. A large part of the portfolio consists of assets such as toll roads, pipelines, airports and seaports, product terminals, and data centres.
