The new fund will allow Antin to build on its successful track record of investing in infrastructure businesses across Europe. Through its two previous funds, Antin has acquired a balanced and diversified portfolio of 15 different companies, deploying €3.2 billion across two funds in four infrastructure sectors: energy, transport, telecoms and social infrastructure.

Fund III was closed in less than five months, demonstrating investors’ strong support for Antin’s investment strategy and recognition of the firm’s track record of value creation. For Fund III, Antin welcomes 85 investors from Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, including pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers and sovereign wealth funds. This follows the successful realisations of five of Antin’s nine Fund I investments and the deployment of €2.3 billion since the final closing of Fund II in June 2014.

Campbell Lutyens acted as global placement agent for the fundraising, reprising its Fund II role.
