“FOF Infrastructure”, a new fund of funds managed by CDP Real Asset SGR, was presented to a large audience of pension funds on 28th June with the aim of attracting private sector funding to support the Italian infrastructure market, a strategic sector for economic and employment growth in our country.
The fund - which has a target funding of €500 million, of which €300 million has already been subscribed by CDP Equity - aims to support infrastructure projects with environmental and social objectives, investing in areas such as energy and the digital transition, the circular economy and renewable energy. It therefore falls under Article 8 of the SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation), the EU Regulation 2019/2088 governing sustainability disclosure in the financial services sector.
The meeting, organised in collaboration with Assofondipensione, is part of the Real Economy Project, a system-wide initiative through which the CDP Group aims to broaden the impact of its activities in support of national growth by involving institutional investors in its instruments.
