Press releases

SFP Infrastructure Partners (SFP IP), a Swiss firm specialising in infrastructure investments, is pleased to announce that it has successfully held another close, bringing the size of the first infrastructure fund to over EUR 110 million. This underlines the continued growth and  strong positioning in a market that is experiencing significant momentum. Particularly, de- spite market volatility, institutional investors continue to increase their exposure to the asset class due to its stable and long-term performance.

  • SFP Infrastructure Partners’ fund has exceeded the EUR 100m mark, targeting a final close by end of the year 
  • The performance is already net positive, avoiding the J-curve through exposure to performing operational assets 
  • Successor fund is planned to be launched in H1 2025

“Our focus on providing access to diversified portfolios of operating assets via secondary transactions, allows us to capitalise on this market segment while delivering attractive, risk-adjusted returns to investors. We have closed four secondary transactions year to date, demonstrating our sourcing, due diligence and execution capabilities,” said Thomas Hoffmann, Co-Head Investments.

There is a particular opportunity in the growing infrastructure secondary market. SFP IP has positioned itself as a recognised player in this space, using its extensive industry knowledge and network to identify and exploit high quality opportunities.

The current fund is almost fully invested with a broadly diversified portfolio that has already achieved its target return range. With the final closing scheduled for the end of this year, investors have the unique opportunity to benefit from an established and well performing portfolio.

SFP IP is well placed to continue its growth trajectory and will launch a follow-on fund focused on infrastructure secondaries in the first half of 2025 to benefit from the opportunities in this market.

"We are excited about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead," concluded CEO Marc Wicki. "With the successor fund we will continue to complement the infrastructure market landscape with a distinct secondary investment strategy, delivering outstanding results for our investors."
