Macquarie Infrastructure Partners is Macquarie Asset Management's series of Americas-focused, unlisted infrastructure funds. MIP VI continues the investment philosophy and approach of the MIP platform, which has the longest track record of any infrastructure manager investing in the Americas region. This track record now spans more than 22 years of infrastructure investment expertise in the region and includes more than 55 portfolio company investments and 26 realizations.
Consistent with prior MIP vintages, the Fund is focused on high-quality investments across the transportation, digital infrastructure, utilities and energy, and waste infrastructure sectors. MIP VI's investments to date include Diamond Infrastructure Solutions, SwyftFiber, TraPac Terminals, Montreal Metropolitan Airport and Coastal Waste & Recycling.
MIP VI has attracted commitments from a diverse group of returning and new investors from around the world, including public and private pension plans, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, and investment managers. The Fund saw strong support from its existing investor base, with more than 70% of total commitments coming from investors that have previously invested with Macquarie Asset Management's Real Assets division. Notably, half of the fund commitments were from North American investors, marking the highest proportion of any MIP vintage to be sourced within North America.
'We are grateful for the confidence that MIP VI investors have placed in us,' said Leigh Harrison, Head of Real Assets for Macquarie Asset Management. 'MIP VI's successful capital raise demonstrates investors' ongoing commitment to Macquarie Asset Management's expertise in infrastructure investment and our strong investment track record that spans more than 30 years around the world.'
