Investment Adviser strategic partnership

 

4 December 2020

 

GCP Infra, the only UK listed fund focused primarily on investments in UK infrastructure debt, notes the press release this morning by its Investment Advisor, Gravis Capital Management Limited ("Gravis"), that Gravis has entered into a strategic partnership with ORIX Corporation ("ORIX") whereby ORIX will acquire a 70% equity stake in the Gravis business*.

ORIX is a diversified financial services group. Its asset management operation has grown significantly over recent years and the partnership with Gravis will allow it to expand into the UK infrastructure, debt, renewable energy and property sectors.

The board of the Company has been in active discussions with both ORIX and Gravis in relation to this transaction. It is reassured that there will be no changes to the team currently providing services to the Company and that service levels will be uninterrupted by the transaction. It sees as a positive that Gravis will remain independently-managed and will operate under its current brand whilst ORIX's global presence will, over the longer term, provide Gravis's management team with additional experience, expertise and access in areas such as asset sourcing, financing and potential new investors.

 

* The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and customary conditions to closing.
