What is a co-investment?

Co-investment refers to a direct investment in a company alongside an infrastructure fund. The infrastructure fund normally holds the majority and the co-investment investor a minority stake in the infrastructure investment.

What are brownfield investments?

Brownfield describes infrastructure investments that already exist and that are operational. The returns from brownfield infrastructure investments generally result in particular from ongoing cash flow from operational activities and only to a small extent from capital gains. Infrastructure investments that are still in the set-up stage are referred to as greenfield. Returns from greenfield infrastructure investments essentially result from capital gains.

Infrastructure

We pursue a co-investment approach for infrastructure. You participate directly in an infrastructure investment together with an infrastructure fund. Direct access means you have fewer fees compared to a fund-of-funds solution.

Open-end

Open-end investment solutions have no fixed duration: subsequent investments and sales of units are possible.
Cash management expenditure is low, and the money remains invested.

More about the product

Closed-end

Closed-end solutions have defined investment and realization periods.
Closed-end investments involve continuous distribution and repayment.
The cash volume is efficiently kept to a minimum, and there is no dilution following the final closing.

Our infrastructure programs I-VI are closed. A further closed-end product is planned for 2026.
