Plenary Group and Pinnacle form new funds management venture
A new funds management, Plenary Investment Management, has been created in a joint venture between Plenary Group and Pinnacle Investment Management.
The fund will provide institutional investors with access to a rising number of social infrastructure prospects in Australia, according to a Plenary Group statement.
The new fund will be capped at $500 million and seeded with a diversified portfolio of existing Plenary Group assets, Plenary Group principal John O'Rourke said.
Social infrastructure is demonstrating to be an appealing option for private capital investment, with its growing global pipeline and the surety of steady payment streams and long-term returns, the group said.
"The new fund is structured to allow investors access to long term opportunities that benefit from Plenary Group's proven capacity to manage assets. At the same time, it will enable Plenary to bid for the largest projects in the market," O'Rourke said.
Plenary Group will retain a majority position in Plenary Investment Management. According to the group, this will ensure consistent management of assets through their lifecycle.
