The Fund

The Fund "Fondo Italiano per le Infrastrutture", abbreviated as “F2i” -  is the first closed-end investment fund promoted and managed by F2i Sgr.

With 1,852 million Euros raised, it is the largest Italian closed-end fund and the largest infrastructure fund on the international market focused on a single country.

It was authorised by the Bank of Italy in August 2007.

Its mission is to operate as a long-term investor and partner in the Italian infrastructure sector, by leveraging on the following characteristics:

• Sponsors: they represent Italian leading financial institutions and provide F2i with professional and financial support and a widespread network of relationships and penetration across the territory.
• Management: the management team includes professionals with top-notch experience with a mix of industrial and financial skills.
• Sector of activity: the infrastructure sector in Italy presents significant investment opportunities, driven both by shareholders' needs to divest or find a partner (including privatizations) and by companies' needs to finance significant investment plans, spurred by the relevant infrastructure gap which sets Italy apart in comparison to other European Countries.

The Fund aims to be a catalyst for aggregation and partneships with public and private entities  which operate in the Italian infrastructure sector, by participating in privatization processes, cementing relationships with local authorities and private entrepreneurs, and aggregating international and domestic investors.
