The Swiss Life Loan Fund (LUX) S.A., SICAV-SIF – ESG Infrastructure Debt, initially managed exclusively on behalf of the insurance companies of the Swiss Life Group, is open to professional institutional investors. Roughly 20 investments in 10 sectors across nine countries have already been realized by the fund. The fund aims to raise a total of more than €2.5 billion ($2.6 billion) in capital.
Slightly more than a year after establishing its infrastructure debt portfolio management team, Swiss Life Asset Managers is opening its investment platform to third-party clients.
The existing portfolio is invested in euro-denominated senior infrastructure debt of entities domiciled in OECD countries, with a target of achieving an investment-grade rating. Established with a long-term horizon, the investment strategy is based on a buy-and-hold approach — holding assets until full repayment — targeting brownfield and greenfield infrastructure projects.
