LONDON, Aug. 31, 2022, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Stafford Capital Partners ("Stafford"), a leading international private markets 
investment and advisory group is pleased to announce the close of Stafford 
Infrastructure Secondaries Fund IV ("SISF IV").

The closing marks the largest fund in Stafford's history, with the fund 
receiving €731m in commitments from 33 investors across 13 countries. Alongside 
these commitments, Stafford raised an additional £100m managed account for 
geographically focussed infrastructure secondary transactions.

With 13 closed transactions and a further three in exclusivity, Stafford 
expects to have committed 75% of capital commitments to the fund in Q4 2022. 
Following the closing of this fund, Stafford now has USD $1.7bn in 
infrastructure assets under management.

SISF IV is Stafford's fourth dedicated infrastructure secondaries fund. It 
invests in existing core infrastructure funds predominantly in Europe, North 
America and Australasia through LP as well as GP-led secondaries.

The fund is classified as an Article 8 fund under the Sustainable Finance 
Disclosures Regulation. It actively targets energy transition assets while 
strongly limiting its fossil-fuel related exposure.

Commenting on the close of SISF IV, Dr Ingo Marten, Managing Partner, Stafford 
Real Assets said:

"I am delighted to announce the closing of SISF IV and I am particularly 
pleased that we have attracted many new investors across Europe, North America, 
and Asia Pacific. For this fund we have pursued the successful strategy of the 
SISF series, focused on secondary transactions with strong managers".

William Greene, Managing Partner, Stafford Infrastructure added: "The 
diversified portfolio we have built for SISF IV exhibits strong cashflow 
visibility from high-quality diversified assets acquired through attractive, 
value-additive transactions, which deliver an immediate and stable yield to our 
investors"
