SFP Infrastructure Partners continues to create value through increased focus on secondary investments in the infrastructure space

• SFP Infrastructure Partners’ portfolio performance continues to outperform expectations creating tangible value for its investors 
• The last three secondary transactions bring its portfolio to seven investments demonstrating a strong deployment pace and favourable market positioning 
• Client demand for the product has accelerated in the recent months 

Building on the deep experience in the infrastructure secondary market and taking advantage of the funding gap, SFP IP continues to strategically position itself to capitalize on this underserved market space. This approach has proven highly effective, delivering superior returns and long-term value for its investors. In the past few months, SFP IP has expanded its portfolio with three notable secondaries: 

• An operational solar and battery portfolio of assets located in the United States features an appealing dispatch profile, enabling the storage of excess energy to bolster the grid during evenings and support spikes in energy consumption at other times. These assets are set to benefit from strong regulatory tailwinds, enhancing their potential for growth. It has been acquired at an intrinsic discount to its NAV resulting in an attractive immediate return. 
• The following investment is a dark fibre opportunity connecting predominantly data centres across major cities in Europe. This leading provider, operating within a duopoly, is poised to benefit from the rapidly expanding data centre market. This transaction allows access to a premium asset at an attractive valuation carving out competition as secondaries require a specialised skillset and network. 
• The latest investment is a transportation asset that holds a significant share of passenger services across a major European country. This asset is set to benefit from the modal shift from car to rail reducing carbon emissions. SFP IP’s team had been tracking this asset for years due to its unique market position and strong growth profile. 

"We are thrilled to continue shaping the infrastructure landscape with our investment approach, which delivers superior risk adjusted returns to the investors, establishing ourselves in the market in record time," said Marc Wicki, CEO of SFP Infrastructure Partners. "Our focus on secondary investments allow the clients a differentiated access to infrastructure investments." 

SFP IP's strong pipeline, reflects the firm's robust strategy and commitment to growth. Notably, the portfolio managed by SFP IP has already achieved a net positive performance. The fund is on track to reach a significant milestone with assets under management exceeding EUR 100 million.
