SFP Infrastructure Partners continues to deliver on its promises to investors by completing its fifth investment and first secondary

• Fifth investment is a secondary transaction in which SFP IP acquired a share in an existing US renewables portfolio with substantial value creation potential
• Infrastructure secondaries are a key component of SFP IP´s strategy allowing to tap a dynamic market with attractive risk/return profiles
• Client demand accelerates on the back of the highly attractive seed portfolio

The fifth investment, which has just been signed, is a portfolio of operational solar and battery assets in the United States with an appealing dispatch profile as it allows the storage of excess energy to bolster the grid in the evenings and support spikes in energy consumption at other times. The portfolio is located in one of the highest solar irradiance areas globally, further adding to its attractiveness. The portfolio will be further built out, benefiting from strong regulatory tailwinds in the United States.

Thomas Hoffmann, Co-Head Investments of SFP IP, commented: “Secondary investments are at the heart of our strategy as the infrastructure secondary market is experiencing significant growth. This generates attractive opportunities that only a select group of market participants can efficiently execute on – in particular in the mid-market segment.”

Marc Wicki, CEO of SFP IP, further commented: “We look forward to continue to capitalise on the infrastructure secondaries segment to support us in building a highly attractive and distinct portfolio offering superior risk/returns”.

The overall market outlook continues to improve. Further, client demand for SFP IP`s fund is accelerating on the back of a well developing mid-market focussed seed portfolio, diversified across regions, investment types and sectors.
