Cube Infrastructure Managers
Cube Infrastructure Managers is an independent Luxembourgian management company focusing on investments in the European infrastructure space. It currently manages Cube Infrastructure Fund I, which had its final close in September 2010 with total commitments of €1.08 billion, and Cube Infrastructure Fund II, which had its first close in September 2016 and the Connecting Europe Broadband Fund. Cube Infrastructure Fund I has invested across 15 transactions, and has created four industrial platforms in energy supply, public transport, communication infrastructure and power generation and environmental services. Cube Infrastructure Fund II will pursue a similar investment strategy as the first fund. The CEBF will invest in greenfield telecom projects. Cube‘s objective is to generate a combination of current yield and long-term capital appreciation through investments in regulated, brownfield infrastructure assets, addressing the essential infrastructure needs of the local communities, primarily within western Europe, and with a "Buy-Grow-and-Hold" strategy. To do so, Cube takes control or co-control positions in mid-caps with highly competitive runners up positions and develops their potential through organic growth and synergetic add-on investments. Cube focuses on strategic infrastructure markets offering sustainable growth potential principally driven by deregulation and/or market consolidation needed to improve the efficiency of infrastructure & public services, notably Energy Supply, Communication Infrastructure and Public Transport. Rather than being a pure financial player, Cube positions itself as a strategic partner, bringing both capital and management expertise to its portfolio companies. The assets are managed proactively, with a long-term perspective, based on the team's expertise and its long-standing ties with infrastructure contractors, operators and public authorities. Cube is a signatory of the UN PRI (score: A+) with strong commitments to ESG.
