Investment funds that focus on alternative assets have continued to grow in size over the last two decades, and the infrastructure fund industry is no exception. 

During 2021, certain interesting metrics were seen in this asset class, highlighting, for example, that the largest fund raised during 2021, at US$18 billion, corresponds to infrastructure with a focus on developed regions. Likewise, this sub-asset class is the one that receives the most interest from sovereign wealth funds, receiving around 7.3% of their portfolios and with individual commitments of around US$156 million. 

According to data provided by ACAFI, the amount of funds invested in infrastructure in Chile continues to rise, reaching a total of 26 funds and an AUM of US$1.651 billion in Q3 2021, representing a 300% growth over the last four years. These funds specialize in financing various initiatives through equity and/or debt, including highways, hospitals, desalination plants, transmission lines, LNG plants, and power plants, all of which help improve people's quality of life.

FYNSA actively participates in this segment of funds, notably through its FYNSA Energía and Rockville Solar Energy funds, which together account for 5.51% of the total AUM of infrastructure funds. Through this platform, capital has been raised to enable the development and construction of 200 MW of clean and renewable energy projects, providing an amount of energy equivalent to the annual consumption of more than 125,000 households.
