Antin Infrastructure Partners

What they do

Founded in 2007 by Alain Rauscher and Mark Crosbie, Antin Infrastructure Partners has grown into one of the world's premier infrastructure-focused private equity firms. The firm is distinguished by its value-add approach, taking majority stakes in established infrastructure businesses and driving growth through active operational improvements, strategic M&A, and sustainability initiatives. Antin went public on Euronext Paris in 2021 and currently manages over €33 billion in assets. The firm operates three distinct investment strategies-Flagship (large-cap), Mid Cap, and NextGen-allowing it to capture opportunities ranging from massive traditional infrastructure assets to high-growth, tech-enabled "next-generation" infrastructure platforms.

What they look for

Antin targets essential infrastructure businesses that provide critical services to their communities, fostering a more resilient society. They focus on value creation through an active, hands-on approach to scaling, optimizing, and transforming their portfolio companies. Their thesis relies on identifying assets with "infrastructure-like" characteristics: high barriers to entry, long-term sticky contracts, downside protection, and stable long-term growth potential.
