Macquarie Completes Fundraising for KRW 980 Billion Infrastructure Fund

Macquarie Asset Management Group recently announced on August 14 that it has completed fundraising for the 'Macquarie Alliance Partners Infrastructure Fund' (MAPIF Fund), securing total commitments of USD 711 million (approximately KRW 984.16 billion) for the fund and its separate managed accounts (SMA).

The MAPIF Fund is Macquarie Asset Management Group's first infrastructure secondary fund. The fund focuses on building a diversified portfolio by investing in high-quality assets and sectors, as well as assets managed by leading operators.

The company explained that the MAPIF Fund differentiates itself from generalist approaches to secondary investments by leveraging Macquarie Asset Management Group's decades of extensive infrastructure investment experience, while also taking a specialist approach to secondary infrastructure investments.

The MAPIF Fund has attracted investments from a diverse range of institutions, including pension funds, family offices, and insurance companies across EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), APAC (Asia-Pacific), and the Americas.

Wandy Ho, Head of Secondary at Macquarie Asset Management Group, said, "Clients continue to allocate investment budgets to the infrastructure asset class, but liquidity and J-curve mitigation are becoming increasingly important among institutional investors, and managers also want to provide liquidity solutions to their investors."
