Cordiant is a specialist global infrastructure and real assets manager with a sector-led approach to providing growth capital solutions to promising mid-sized companies in Europe, North America and selected global markets. Since the firm’s relaunch in 2016, Cordiant–a partner-owned and -run firm–has developed a track record of exceeding mandated investment targets for our clients.
Cordiant focuses on the next generation of infrastructure and real assets: sectors (digital infrastructure, energy transition infrastructure and agriculture value chain) characterised by growth tailwinds; technological dynamism in how customers deploy the infrastructure Cordiant is financing; and a requirement for sustainability.
With a mix of managed funds offering both value-add and core strategies in equity and debt, our sector investment teams (combining seasoned industry executives with traditional private capital investors) work with investee companies to develop innovative, tailored financing solutions backed by a comprehensive understanding of the sector and demonstrated operating capabilities.
Three-Sector Approach
Seeking to provide our investors with attractive risk-adjusted returns, Cordiant invests in asset-rich sectors such as digital infrastructure, agriculture value chain and energy transition infrastructure. Cordiant’s sector teams–which include experienced senior executives from the industry as well as long-tenured investors–allow the firm to generate a high percentage of proprietary or privileged investment opportunities. This approach further enables Cordiant to better serve its investors through value-added engagement with potential investee companies whether through equity or credit funds.
