Italy’s insurance group Generali launched Generali Global Infrastructure (GGI), a new infrastructure debt platform investing both in senior and mezzanine debt that serves as the first cornerstone of the new Group’s multi-boutique asset management strategy managed by the newly-founded entity Generali Investment Partners led by Carlo Trabattoni.
GGI is a strategic partnership with Generali holding a controlling stake in the joint venture while the remaining stake is owned by the three managing partners Philippe Benaroya (ceo), Alban de La Selle (cio) and Gilles Lengaigne, three highly experienced infrastructure financiers with proven investment track records.
Generali Global Infrastructure will develop infrastructure debt investment strategies both for internal and external clients. External institutional investor assets under management are expected to amount to 2.5 billion euros within the first five years and then to double in the subsequent five-year period.
