QIC’s infrastructure fund first close after raising $1b
QIC had its first close for its QIC Global Infrastructure Fund (QGIF) at 50 per cent of target after raising more than $1 billion of new capital for its Global Infrastructure Platform.
QGIF has secured commitments from a range of institutional investors including Hostplus, an Asian sovereign wealth fund, one of China's leading insurers and two foundation QIC clients. An additional commitment has also been made under a co-investment arrangement.
QIC global infrastructure's head, Ross Israel said the first close is a result of their focused marketing efforts and a strong potential investment pipeline.
QGIF will offer investors access to a large investable universe of attractive infrastructure assets in developed OECD economies with a focus towards Australia. The fund is targeting $1.75 billion of total capital commitments.
The fund was formally launched earlier this year.

Uncertainty around tariffs and subdued growth may lead to some short-term constraints in relation to the private credit market, the fund manager has said.
Just three active asset managers are expected to attract net inflows over the coming year, according to Morningstar, with those specialising in fixed income or private markets best positioned to benefit.
Taking a purely passive investment approach is leaving many investors at risk of heightened valuation risks, Allan Gray and Orbis Investments have cautioned.
