Investment in Asia
AMP Capital Investors has been investing in Asian infrastructure since 1994. Our initial investments were via a fund-of-funds approach, and included investments in the Asian Infrastructure Fund (AIF) in 1994 and the Asian Equity Infrastructure Fund (AEIF) in 1999. AMP Capital played an active role in managing both these investments through Board representation.
Since 1999, AMP Capital has launched three Asian focused funds.
In 1999 we launched IIF in partnership with the Unit Trust of India, with commitments totalling US$35 million. The fund
focuses on opportunities in the Indian power generation, transport, oil and gas distribution, telecommunications and urban
infrastructure.
In 2004 we launched TIFOI with initial commitments of US$30 million from AMP Life and US$15 million from Asian Development
Bank. Total commitments raised for the fund have amounted to US$102 million (A$134.6 million). The fund focuses on
telecommunications, transportation, energy, power, industrial, social and urban infrastructure. To date the fund has made
4 investments in transport and energy sectors.
Infrastructure's third Asian fund and investment in the region since 1994, the Asian Giants Infrastructure Fund (AGIF) is a private company designed to capture infrastructure investment opportunities in India, China and other selected Asian countries. The Fund’s focus is on investing in unlisted equity and equity-linked securities in companies engaged in the development, ownership or operation of infrastructure or infrastructure-related facilities and services, primarily in India and China, with the flexibility to invest in other Asian countries as opportunities arise. The Fund may also invest in listed securities in such companies. The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation, interest and dividend income from its investments.
