Australia-headquartered AMP Capital has continued a run of appointments to its flagship infrastructure teams.
AMP Capital has appointed Roopa Murthy and Giles Gray to its infrastructure debt team in London. Murthy and Gray will focus on supporting the team’s investment origination and management capabilities. They will report to Emma Haight-Cheng, who has been promoted to principal. The appointments are part of a series of moves announced by the firm in recent days.
Murthy joins the team as a director from Credit Agricole’s energy and infrastructure business. She brings ten years’ experience in structuring and arranging finance across international infrastructure transactions.
Gray has been appointed as an associate. He was previously at PricewaterhouseCoopers UK, where he specialised in advising on project finance deals within the renewables, social infrastructure and transport sectors.
“Interest in infrastructure debt continues to grow and we have a strong pipeline of investment opportunities. The depth we now have in our London team means we are even better placed to capitalise on those opportunities for our global clients,” Andrew Jones, AMP Capital global head of infrastructure debt, said.
“Our priority this year will be to continue to invest capital raised for Infrastructure Debt Fund II, which was closed to new investors after raising nearly $1.1 billion plus an additional $250 million in co-investment pledges last year, and manage the assets of both our debt funds.”
The AMP Capital infrastructure debt team is located in London, New York and Sydney and focuses its investment in infrastructure debt on defensive, non-cyclical, cash flow-producing assets. Combined, the firm’s infrastructure debt funds have raised nearly $2 billion from investors from around the world during the last four years.
