AMP Capital has launched a new strategy to target mezzanine debt for infrastructure transactions in Asia-Pacific.
Simon La Greca, AMP Capital鈥檚 head of infrastructure debt Asia, told 91传媒在线 that the newly launched Infrastructure Debt Asia-Pacific strategy would be funded through a separate account from an existing investor in the firm鈥檚 global infrastructure fund.
鈥淭his investor is allocating new money to the strategy, and we will add to that over time with additional (separate) accounts and potentially a fund offering, La Greca said.
While bound by confidentiality not to disclose the identity of the investor or the sum invested, La Greca said the commitment was 鈥渁 substantial amount鈥� which would be enough to initially make 鈥渁 number of investments鈥�.
It has made its first mezzanine debt investment in Australia to be finalised next month.
Implementation of the new Infrastructure Debt Asia strategy follows AMP Capital鈥檚 success in raising US$6.2bn (鈧�5.3bn) last year for its fourth infrastructure debt strategy.
