Paris-based Antin Infrastructure Partners (Antin IP) has selected BNP Paribas Securities Services as depositary bank under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) for the €2 billion Antin Infrastructure Partners II fund.
BNP Paribas was previously appointed as depositary bank for the original Antin Infrastructure Partners fund. The second fund has over 60 international investors across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, including pension funds, insurers, asset managers and sovereign wealth funds.
“We were looking for a reliable partner, an expert on investment vehicles across different legal frameworks,” says Alain Rauscher, president directeur général of Antin Infrastructure Partners. “The international dimension of BNP Paribas Securities Services was therefore a decisive element for us. We have complete confidence in the bank’s teams, which have provided us with first class support to ensure compliance with AIFMD.”
Antin IP is an independent management company with nearly €3 billion in AuM that specializes in infrastructure investments in the energy, environment, transport and telecommunications sectors.
