Funds

CIP invests on behalf of its four Flagship Funds in regulated and long-term contracted energy infrastructure with the objective of generating attractive risk-adjusted returns and long-term, stable, and predictable cash flows with low correlation to the business cycle. The geographical focus of the Flagship Funds is low-risk OECD countries in Western Europe, North America (excluding Mexico) and developed Asia Pacific (including Taiwan and Singapore), reflecting CIP’s strategy to mitigate regulatory risks by choosing stable regulatory and political regions and favourable regulatory sub-segments.

The Growth Market Funds focus on investments in large-scale and complex greenfield energy infrastructure projects in high-growth, middle-income markets with strong fundamentals for renewable development and significant impact potential. The funds target high-growth, middle-income markets across Asia, Latin America and EMEA with strong fundamentals for energy infrastructure investments with a combination of high economic and demographic growth including an expanding middle class leading to an accelerating electricity demand.

CI ETF I is the largest dedicated clean hydrogen fund globally and has ~6.5GW of electrolysers in its base case portfolio. It invests in next generation energy infrastructure including industrial scale power-to-X (PtX) projects and enables institutional investors to participate in the decarbonization of the so-called hard to abate industries such as shipping, steel production, and agriculture through the use of green fuels and feedstock and CO2-free fertilizers. The fund will primarily focus on greenfield projects in Western Europe, North America, Australia and developed Asian countries. Besides PtX the fund may invest in advanced biofuels, carbon capture and utilization/storage (CCU/S), and other infrastructure technologies, applications, and solutions to decarbonize industries and transportation.

CI ABF I and II focus on equity investments in advanced bioenergy infrastructure in Europe and North America and enables institutional investors to contribute to the energy transition and participate in the decarbonization of hard to abate sectors through the production of advanced biofuels and biomethane. Investments will be based on sustainable feedstock such as agricultural biowaste and household and industrial biowaste. The offtake products will include green gas and green fuels, such as biomethane and liquified biomethane (bio-LNG).

CI GCF is CIP’s debt fund and provides private project finance debt with subordinated risk characteristics supporting energy projects globally. Focus will be on green- and brownfield projects in offshore wind, onshore wind, solar PV, biomass, storage and transmission assets, and the geographic focus of the fund will be Europe, North America and selective jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region. The fund provides investors access to an asset class with substantial growth momentum, attractive risk-adjusted returns, and low correlation to other asset classes. The fund’s focus is on direct investments, but it also has ability to do risk sharing transactions.
