Tetragon Financial Group Limited Announces Sale of Minority Equitix Stake
to Hunter Point Capital
LONDON, June 16, 2025 -- Tetragon Financial Group Limited today announces that
Hunter Point Capital, or HPC, an independent investment firm providing
capital solutions and strategic support to alternative asset managers, has
agreed to acquire a minority stake in Equitix, a leading international
investor, developer and fund manager in infrastructure.
HPC is acquiring a 16.1% stake in the business at an implied enterprise value
of £1.3 billion, excluding net debt. HPC's stake is being acquired from two
existing shareholders: approximately 14.6% from TFG Asset Management,
Tetragon's diversified alternative asset management business, and 1.5% from
Equitix management.
Equitix was founded in 2007 and Tetragon acquired a controlling stake in the
business in 2015. Since being acquired by Tetragon, Equitix has grown from
£1.3 billion to over £11.7 billion in assets under management with a broad
sector reach across social infrastructure, transport, renewable power,
environmental services, network utilities and data infrastructure.
Stephen Prince, CEO of TFG Asset Management, said: "Following ten years of
strong growth, Equitix is at an inflection point. This transaction enables
Tetragon to realize some of the value created in the business, while remaining
invested with a trusted partner in a sector where we continue to see
significant runway for innovation and growth. In HPC we found an experienced
minority partner, bringing additive relationships and expertise to seek to
enhance Equitix's continued innovation and development."
"We are thrilled to be adding Equitix to our GP Stakes portfolio and to join
Tetragon in this next phase of exciting growth for one of Europe's leading
infrastructure managers. The Equitix team has built a market-leading firm
offering a differentiated value proposition to investors. We look forward to
engaging with Equitix as it continues to scale its platform globally and to
launch new products to meet the evolving needs of institutional investors,
building on its prior experience of value creation and impact," said Avi
Kalichstein, CEO and Co-Founder of HPC.
Hugh Crossley, CEO of Equitix commented: "Equitix was founded as a responsible
long-term investor in infrastructure assets, primarily focused on the UK. It
has now evolved into an infrastructure developer and fund manager with over
300 assets in 24 countries and more than 400 employees. I am incredibly proud
of what Equitix has achieved; we are a trusted partner managing global
infrastructure assets, which we believe materially contribute to the lives of
the communities they serve. I look forward to leading our team as it seeks
continued growth and success in partnership with Tetragon, and now with HPC
onboard."
Equitix is part of Tetragon's platform for alternative asset managers, TFG
Asset Management, which will remain the majority owner, alongside HPC and
management. There will be no changes to the governance, investment process or
day-to-day management of Equitix.
HPC's acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including
required regulatory approvals.
BofA Securities served as financial advisor and Dechert LLP served as legal
counsel to Tetragon. Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal counsel to HPC.
Ashurst LLP served as legal counsel to Equitix management.
