Intermediate Capital Group reaches €1.5bn for debut Infrastructure fund

Intermediate Capital Group, the global alternative asset manager, announced that it has completed fundraising for its debut Infrastructure fund, ICG Infrastructure Equity 1. The Fund reached total commitments of €1.5bn, surpassing its target of €1bn due to strong demand from a global client base.

The Fund focuses on Western Europe and is pursuing a green generalist strategy aligned to UN Sustainable Development Goals1. To date, the team has deployed €1bn across five deals, of which the Fund has committed €0.6bn and made €0.4bn available to clients as co-investment opportunities, illustrating its thesis of investing in sustainable infrastructure, such as renewables, energy efficiency, fibre optic networks, electric mobility, and social infrastructure.

The team, led by Guillaume d’Engremont, is comprised of a dozen infrastructure professionals across Paris, London and Frankfurt. The team benefits from a highly differentiated approach combining diverse backgrounds, strong technical expertise, long-standing local origination capabilities and is able to effectively leverage ICG’s flexible approach to partnering with portfolio companies and their management teams.
