The UCITS platform will give UK and European institutional investors access to AMP Capital’s Global Listed Infrastructure Fund and Global Real Estate Securities Fund.
The platform has US$156 million in assets under management, which has been split equally between the two strategies.
AMP Capital said the funds will be available to investors in the UK, the Netherlands and Luxembourg initially, with plans to expand into other jurisdictions in Europe and Asia.
The UCITS-compliant funds use the same investment approach and strategy as AMP Capital’s existing listed infrastructure and real estate funds, the company said.
“They have been added to the newly-launched UCITS platform following increasing demand from global institutional clients for pooled fund exposure to these capabilities,” AMP Capital said.
AMP Capital chief executive international and head of global clients Anthony Fasso said AMP Capital has more than 25 years’ experience investing in both real estate and infrastructure.
“The establishment of a UCITS platform is a key step in our continued commitment to further develop AMP Capital’s offering in Europe, given UCITS is the dominant investment structure in this region,” he said.
“We are pleased to bring the AMP Capital Global Listed Infrastructure Fund and the AMP Capital Global Real Estate Securities Fund to a broader investment audience in response to investor demand,” Mr Fasso added.
