We have a global network that helps us uncover opportunities. Our reach, reputation and relationships mean we can access deal flows that few other managers can.
IFM was founded by pension funds. It’s still owned by pension funds today. Our clients are stewards of capital too, with the same duty to deliver value over decades. We share a multigenerational vision: to invest, protect and grow the savings of millions of people. We do this by investing, owning and financing the assets our clients and their beneficiaries rely on to live their lives. Where we own assets, our engineers and sector experts join their boards and management committees, with the aim of becoming pivotal to their success.
From Vienna Airport to the Indiana Toll Road, from energy storage to data storage, we invest in what matters: real assets that will serve society’s needs for decades to come and seek to deliver for clients the positive outcomes they need. For more information, visit ifminvestors.com .
