Today, AllianzGI has more than EUR 100 billion in assets under management. Allianz Group continues to have appetite for infrastructure equity investments and raising third-party capital that invests alongside Allianz in infrastructure equity investment opportunities through vehicles such as the Allianz Global Diversified Infrastructure Equity Fund (“AGDIEF”) series, which remains a key growth priority. AGDIEF I (2020),  AGDIEF II (2023) and AGDIEF III (2026) and related transaction vehicles have each raised around EUR 1 billion.

Within Infrastructure, AllianzGI PM has a dedicated strategy focused on investments in infrastructure primary funds, co-investments and secondaries (“IFCOS”). Sitting within the broader Infrastructure Equity group of 70+ professionals but with its own dedicated personnel, the IFCOS team has a global mandate covering every continent and is one of the largest investors in infrastructure funds, secondaries and co-investments globally. Overall, AllianzGI PM has more than EUR 50bn in infrastructure assets under management (of which more than EUR 12 billion from IFCOS), thus establishing Allianz as the largest institutional investor in infrastructure in Europe.

On the infrastructure funds side, Allianz is often one of the leading investors. The scale of these commitments gives the IFCOS team the ability to shape contractual terms, build deep relationships and secure priority access to co-investment opportunities as well as secondaries. AllianzGI has completed co-investments and secondaries across multiple sectors on five continents. The scale of the platform also provides excellent insights into secondary opportunities and access to secondary dealflow. Overall, the IFCOS team has access to some of the most compelling infrastructure investment deal flows generated by leading fund managers globally.

With a footprint across Munich, London and New York, the dedicated IFCOS team currently comprises an international and diverse group of thirteen investment professionals.
