Helvetia AST: Infrastructure investment group secures capital
With CHF 120 million in capital commitments, the foundation stone has been laid for the rapid portfolio expansion of the new evergreen vehicle.
The Helvetia Investment Foundation has secured over USD 120 million in capital commitments for its new «Infrastructure Equity Global Evergreen (USD)» investment group. The investment group, which was developed in collaboration with Mercer as portfolio manager, is aimed specifically at Swiss pension funds. According to Helvetia AST, the capital commitments had been received from «renowned pension funds» as at January 31.
The infrastructure investment group is designed as an evergreen structure without a fixed term and with periodic redemption options. The funds will be invested in the coming months to build an infrastructure portfolio across various regions, strategies and sectors, including digital infrastructure, waste and water management, transportation, energy transition and social infrastructure. «Further substantial subscriptions are expected by then,» writes Hevetia. Investors can choose from different investment types (primaries, secondaries and co-investments).
«We are proud of this great launch success,» says Dunja Schwander, Managing Director of the Helvetia Investment Foundation. «The convincing start lays the foundation for a timely portfolio build-up,» comments Tobias Wolf, Partner and Head Investments at Mercer Switzerland.
