UBS Asset Management launches second infrastructure debt fund with EUR448.4 million of seed commitments

UBS Asset Management's (UBS-AM) Real Estate & Private Markets (REPM) business has launched its second infrastructure debt fund, Archmore Infrastructure Debt Platform II (IDP II), with seed commitments from initial investors of more than €448.4 million.
IDP II has been launched on the back of the successful performance of its predecessor – the Archmore Infrastructure Debt Platform I (IDP I), which is now 94 per cent deployed and has a strong pipeline of attractive new investment opportunities. The strategy of this follow-on fund remains consistent; IDP II will focus on private infrastructure debt opportunities in Western Europe, primarily through direct lending, aiming to take advantage of the continued capital supply/demand imbalance in the mid-size European infrastructure investment market, where borrowers are seeking alternative sources of capital.
