SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - Media OutReach - 6 November 2023 - AGP Sustainable Real Assets ("AGP"), a Singapore-based global infrastructure and real assets developer and operator, today announced a strategic, preferred investment from Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specialising in infrastructure and real assets.
As a strategic capital partner, Stonepeak will bring valuable expertise to the AGP management team, and help to accelerate the growth of AGP's portfolio across business verticals including energy transition and sustainable community infrastructure across housing, logistics, and data.

AGP's global energy transition portfolio, logistics and community housing platform in India, and data centre joint venture with Stonepeak's existing portfolio company, Digital Edge, are directly aligned with Stonepeak's key verticals. The opportunity to invest in sustainable asset creation and the exposure across multiple geographies make this partnership a strong fit for Stonepeak's Asia infrastructure strategy."
