AMP Capital has raised a further US$450 million for the AMP Capital Infrastructure Debt Fund II (IDF II) bringing the total amount to US$750 million.

IDFII was launched in August last year and has attracted 40 institutional investors from Japan, South Korea, China, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the United States. 

AMP Capital global head of infrastructure debt Andrew Jones said AMP Capital is on track to meet its final target of US$1 billion. 

Mr Jones said this reflects the increased interest in infrastructure debt globally. 

 
 

“Specifically, investors who have joined IDF II like our defensive strategy and focus on delivering stable, attractive yields,” said Mr Jones. 

Mr Jones said he looks forward to completing further fundraising later this year and investing in further assets for IDF II. 

“We have a strong pipeline and are seeing many opportunities to invest capital in mature markets,” he said.
