The Fund has over 60 investors, half of which are first time investors in a Brookfield fund. Brookfield committed US$2.8 billion to the Fund, aligning its interests with those of its investors.
Sam Pollock, senior managing partner and CEO of Brookfield’s Infrastructure Group, said: "We are pleased to launch this Fund at a time when we see strong opportunities to invest in high quality core infrastructure assets on an attractive risk-adjusted return basis. We believe real assets such as infrastructure are an important and growing component of institutional portfolios, and we see significant potential for investments in all the regions where we operate."
The Fund will own and operate long-life infrastructure assets that generate stable cash flows, require relatively minimal capital expenditures and, by virtue of high barriers to entry and other characteristics, tend to appreciate in value over time.
Brookfield’s capital commitment to the Fund is expected to be funded through Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP and Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners LP.
