About APFC's Private Income Portfolio
The APFC Private Income portfolio consists of Infrastructure, Private Credit, and Income Opportunities sub-portfolios. This portfolio makes investments through externally managed limited liability funds, co-investments, and direct investments into operating companies.
Infrastructure investments involve the purchase of critical assets with high barriers to entry and, due to the "essential services" nature of the assets, often result in low elasticity of demand. Infrastructure investments may include energy infrastructure, transportation, water / waste infrastructure, digital infrastructure, social infrastructure, or any other asset that possesses similar characteristics.
Private Credit and Income Opportunities investments involve the ownership of higher-yielding, illiquid investments covering a range of risk / return profiles. The Private Credit sub-portfolio targets one or more of the following strategies : direct lending, subordinated and mezzanine lending, distressed debt, and opportunistic credit, with the flexibility to pursue illiquid and liquid strategies.
The Income Opportunities sub-portfolio targets private markets investments with an objective of income generation and downside protection, but which do not fit neatly into other portfolios. This currently includes, but is not limited to, investments in timberlands, agriculture, life settlements, leasing and royalty strategies, and structured credit.
The total Private Income portfolio has a 10% target allocation and is valued at approximately $8 billion (9% of the total fund). The Private Income program deploys approximately $1 billion annually across infrastructure, private credit, and income opportunities investments.
