Like AllianzGI’s pioneering, first UK Infrastructure Debt Fund, this new vehicle allows a broad range of investors, including small and medium sized pension funds and institutions, the opportunity to access the long-term, high quality, stable cash flows that investments in infrastructure provide.

Adrian Jones, UK Infrastructure Debt, Director, said: “Following the success of our first UK infrastructure debt fund, we are delighted to launch our second sterling infrastructure debt fund, which is approaching its first close. Having helped ‘prove the concept’ of infrastructure debt as an asset class suitable for institutional investors over the last few years, we are delighted that through launching two sterling funds, we have provided institutional investors with the opportunity to invest in real, attractive assets combined with a compelling investment opportunity”.

AllianzGI has now committed over £1bn on behalf of its clients into UK infrastructure projects. This portfolio includes the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route and M8 road projects in Scotland, university accommodation in Hull, Nottingham and Exeter, the A1/A4/A5/DBFO2 project in Northern Ireland, Dover Port and M6 Toll road.

Since 2012, AllianzGI’s infrastructure debt business has committed over £9billion on behalf of clients into 45 infrastructure projects across 14 countries and has closed 10 deals globally in 2017 alone.

AllianzGI recently launched a new, digital interactive map on its website, detailing all the infrastructure debt transactions it has closed around the world on behalf of its investors. To view the interactive map, please click here.

Building on its leadership in infrastructure debt as well as a range of highly successful liquid alternative strategies, AllianzGI has established a strong, fast-growing Alternatives division. Alternatives is now firmly established as one of the four pillars of AllianzGI’s global investment platform, alongside Equities, Fixed Income and Multi-Asset. Today, Allianz Global Investors manages over EUR 34 billion of Alternative assets on behalf of institutional and retail investors around the globe.
