The new mandate will focus on climate change and UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 13, according to IPE Quest.
One of top ten largest corporate pension funds in the Netherlands by assets under management (AUM) has issued a tender notice for a €75m impact investment private infrastructure debt mandate.
The Request for Information (RFI) was issued via IPE Quest, the platform that enables asset owners to place tenders for asset managers via a search or a discovery.
According to search QN-2884, participating managers must have expertise in private infrastructure debt impact investment with a focus on climate change and/or UN Sustainable Goals 7 and 13. Goal 7 is to ensure access to affordable, reliable and sustainable modern energy for all, while Goal 13 is to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
The RFI will enable the scheme to create a long list of potential managers, approved by the pension fund board. Those managers will be asked to fill a Request for Proposal (RFP), and shortlisted managers will be invited to present a case study to the scheme. The pension fund will also perform reference checks and a site visit.
The deadline for returning the RFI is 19 April 2024, and the pension fund plans to select a manager by mid-2025.
