Macquarie Asset Management announced the final close of its inaugural infrastructure secondaries fund, the Macquarie Alliance Partners Infrastructure Fund (MAPIF), with total commitments of $711 million. This figure includes both the main fund and the separate managed account (SMA) capital commitments.
The fund is the first of its kind for Macquarie Asset Management, a firm with over 30 years of extensive experience in infrastructure investment. MAPIF is designed to build a diversified portfolio by targeting high-quality assets, sectors, and fund managers. It utilizes a specialized approach to infrastructure secondaries, distinguishing it from the more common generalist approach in the secondaries market.
MAPIF attracted a diverse group of investors from around the world, including pension funds, family offices, and insurance companies across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas, highlighting strong global interest in the fund’s focused strategy.
Macquarie Asset Management is a pioneer in infrastructure investment, with over 30 years of investment experience in the sector and more than 400 investment professionals across 34 markets.
KEY QUOTE:
“While our clients remain focused on allocating capital to infrastructure, liquidity and j-curve mitigation have become increasingly desirable for LPs, and GPs are also seeking liquidity solutions for their investors. We are grateful for the confidence that MAPIF investors have placed in us, which recognizes Macquarie Asset Management’s decades of extensive infrastructure investment experience and the ability to bring new solutions to market.”
Wandy Hoh, Head of Secondaries for Macquarie Asset Management
