TORONTO, May 31, 2023 /CNW/ - RBC Global Asset Management Inc. ("RBC GAM Inc.") today announced the first closing of RBC Global Infrastructure Fund LP ("the Fund"), which raised over $600 million in commitments from over 1,800 institutional and individual Canadian investors, exceeding initial commitment targets.

The Fund, which was launched earlier this year by RBC GAM Inc., will provide qualified investors with access to an underlying portfolio of directly held infrastructure assets, with the aim of delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns. The Fund's manager plans to work with co-investment partners to invest in core/core+ infrastructure assets diversified across sectors primarily focused in developed market economies, deploying currently committed capital over the next 6-18 months. The Fund is open-ended to allow for long-term growth and value creation.

The Fund is managed by Andrew Hay, head, Global Infrastructure Investments at RBC GAM Inc., who has over 20 years of infrastructure experience, including a senior role at Canada's largest pension plan. It is supported by a broad and experienced RBC GAM Private Markets team, led by Michael Kitt, and leverages the deep investment expertise housed within RBC Global Asset Management.

"Investors are looking for ways to access private infrastructure investments to diversify and enhance their portfolios," said Hay. "We have seen exceptional interest in the RBC Global Infrastructure Fund LP from a wide range of investors. We are grateful for the interest from clients, and we are excited to begin building a portfolio of direct private infrastructure investments to help clients meet their investment goals."

Combined with RBC Canadian Core Real Estate Fund and RBC Commercial Mortgage Fund, the Fund is a foundational pillar in the evolution of RBC GAM Inc.'s growing private markets capabilities. The launch of the three flagship strategies have led to strong growth in the private markets platform with assets under management within the private markets platform now totalling over $12 billion at March 31, 2023.

"The positive response from clients is a testament to the benefits that accrue to investors from investing in private asset classes," said Kitt. "Having direct access to high quality private market assets has traditionally been a portfolio diversification advantage only the largest institutional investors have enjoyed. The RBC GAM private markets strategies now offer clients the unique opportunity to access the same high quality private market investment segment, alongside experienced and aligned partners."

Once the Fund has deployed the majority of the committed capital from this initial launch, it is expected that a second subscription period will commence. The Fund is open to qualified individual and institutional investors.
