In a transatlantic power move set to ripple across the global infrastructure landscape, Hunter Point Capital LP has agreed to acquire a 16.1% stake in Equitix Ltd., valuing the London-based asset manager at a commanding £1.3 billion ($1.8 billion).

The deal, announced Monday by majority owner Tetragon Financial Group Ltd., underscores mounting investor appetite for long-term, essential infrastructure—especially as the world races to modernize everything from renewable power to digital networks.

“This partnership gives us strategic firepower to fuel global expansion and innovation,” said Avi Kalichstein, CEO and co-founder of Hunter Point Capital, headquartered in New York.

Breaking Down the Deal

Under the terms:

• Hunter Point will purchase 14.6% of Equitix from TFG Asset Management, Tetragon’s alternatives platform.

• An additional 1.5% will come from Equitix’s management team.

• Though exact financial terms remain under wraps, the transaction pegs Equitix's value at £1.3 billion, a sharp rise from its 2015 valuation when Tetragon first acquired its controlling stake.

Following the transaction, TFG Asset Management will remain the majority shareholder, signaling continued faith in the infrastructure powerhouse it helped grow exponentially.

A Decade of Explosive Growth

Founded in 2007, Equitix has evolved into a juggernaut in social infrastructure, transport, energy, and utilities, managing more than £11.7 billion in assets, a tenfold jump from its early days with £1.3 billion under management.

“This transaction allows us to crystallize some of the value we’ve built, while staying deeply committed to Equitix’s next chapter,” said Stephen Prince, CEO of TFG Asset Management.

The firm’s portfolio includes investments that power schools, hospitals, green energy grids, and digital infrastructure—sectors with growing relevance in the post-pandemic and climate-sensitive world.
