Private markets investor Pantheon has launched a global infrastructure secondaries fund for professional wealth investors.
The evergreen Pantheon Global Infrastructure Secondaries Fund (PGIS) is designed to provide professional investors with access to a diversified portfolio of global infrastructure secondaries assets, managed by the firm’s institutional infrastructure arm, the manager said.
Jérôme Duthu-Bengtzon, partner and portfolio Manager of PGIS, said: “The new fund will aim to combine the benefits of infrastructure investments, including the potential for capital appreciation, yield, lower volatility and portfolio diversification, with the added advantages of secondaries, which can offer greater risk mitigation, diversification, shorter investment durations and more immediate distributions compared to traditional infrastructure investments.”
Andrea Echberg, global head of Infrastructure, said: “As true infrastructure investors – not generalists – we’re scaling with precision to power the future of global infrastructure secondaries. Delivering this expertise to the private wealth market is the next step in our firm’s evolution.
“We are an infrastructure-first secondaries investor, with 35 specialists managing one of the world’s largest dedicated platforms. We combine asset-level expertise with valuation discipline, focusing on digital, renewable and next-generation infrastructure.”
Victor Mayer, head of international in Pantheon’s global private wealth team, said: “The fund launch is a strategic step in the careful build-out of a comprehensive offering now spanning private equity, private credit and private infrastructure across our global product suite.
“This reinforces our commitment to providing clients and allocators worldwide with differentiated access to compelling mid-market secondary and co-investment opportunities across Pantheon’s global investment capabilities.”
