Global head of infrastructure equity at AMP Capital, Boe Pahari said: "I am delighted to have secured a majority stake in Angel Trains, one of the UK’s leading train leasing specialists, on behalf of our clients. We have come to know the asset very well during our seven years of ownership and we and our investors like its long-term contracted revenue, stable cash flows and strong growth opportunities.
"This is a key transaction for AMP Capital’s Infrastructure Equity team. Angel Trains is the largest asset held by AMP Capital’s Global Infrastructure Fund, which was launched in October 2014. The fund achieved its first close earlier in the year and fundraising has contributed to AMP Capital’s global infrastructure platform already reaching half its target size of US$2 billion."
London-headquartered Angel Trains was established in 1994 and leases its rolling stock to all 19 of the UK’s franchised train operating companies and two open access operators. It has a diverse fleet of approximately 4,500 vehicles.
