ICG said in a statement that the fund was oversubscribed, materially surpassing its €2bn target due to strong demand from a global and diversified group of investors, with a re-up rate from ICG Infra I investors exceeding 85 per cent.
“Infra I’s DPI speaks to the proven nature of our strategy and its resilience through economic cycles. This fund will continue the same approach, with its size allowing us to build a portfolio that is even more diversified,” said Guillaume d’Engremont, head of infrastructure at ICG.
