NN IP launches European Sustainable Infrastructure Debt Fund

NN Investment Partners’ (NN IP) has launched NN (L) European Sustainable Infrastructure Debt fund that sets to meet the demand for investments in real assets. Infrastructure debt is widely seen by many investors as being particularly attractive as it offers compelling risk-adjusted returns and at the same time contributes to providing essential public assets and services that generate significant social, environmental and economic benefits.

The Fund aims to build a diversified portfolio of investment-grade quality infrastructure debt across Europe in five core sectors, including social infrastructure, transportation, energy, utilities, and digital infrastructure. Traditionally, the low correlation of infrastructure assets to economic cycles has attracted long-term investors seeking to diversify their portfolios, match their liabilities and earn attractive returns. NN IP, with the benefit of a long track record in the infrastructure debt market, has further refined its strategy to focus on infrastructure assets that offer measurable social and environmental impact without giving up financial returns.

NN IP adheres to the Equator Principles and will select investments for the Fund by applying its proprietary ESG model, ensuring a strict sustainability framework and benefitting from the advice of NN IP’s Responsible Investing team. The Fund will help to solve current infrastructure challenges, adding value for investors and societies across Europe.
