EIG Raises $1.1 Billion for Global Project Fund V
Part of $2.6 Billion Total Capital Raise for Specialized Direct Lending Strategy
Market-Leading Platform Focused on Senior Loans
EIG CEO R. Blair Thomas said, “We are pleased to close GPF V with continued support from our sophisticated global investor base. Our fundraising success in the current environment is a strong testament to our investors’ enduring trust in our ability to identify and execute on attractive opportunities across the global energy and infrastructure value chain. Capital is oxygen to the energy industry, and GPF V is poised to help meet the robust capital demand for energy and infrastructure projects. In a time of tremendous upheaval, our proven capital-raising and origination capabilities and our global platform position us well for the future.”
EIG President Randy Wade said, “GPF V allows EIG to build on our 20-year track record in direct lending. With demand for capital high and many traditional sources of capital retreating, the Fund is seeking opportunities in the global transition away from traditional hydrocarbons toward more sustainable energy production. We believe our specialized approach and disciplined underwriting with a focus on sector diversity should position us to continue to generate strong returns through market cycles.”
EIG’s placement agent for GPF V was Credit Suisse; Kirkland & Ellis served as legal counsel.
