Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Allianz Capital Partners?
David van der Meijde serves as Chief Investment Officer, overseeing all investment activities. Infrastructure investments are led by Michael Pfennig as Head of Infrastructure, while Roland Herrmann heads the private equity unit. The firm reports to Allianz SE's board-level investment committee, which approves large allocations.
Does Allianz Capital Partners raise external capital?
ACP primarily manages assets from Allianz's general account. However, the firm also operates closed-end funds, such as Allianz Infrastructure Fund II, which attract third-party institutional capital. These funds are structured as commingled vehicles with a typical 10-year life.
What is Allianz Capital Partners' relationship to Allianz Global Investors?
Allianz Capital Partners is a separate entity within Allianz SE, focused on alternative assets. Allianz Global Investors manages the group's public-market and private credit strategies. ACP handles direct infrastructure, private equity, and renewable energy investments.
How does ACP source proprietary deal flow?
ACP leverages Allianz's balance sheet strength and global network to source direct investments, often partnering with industrial or financial sponsors on large-scale infrastructure or renewable energy projects. The firm also co-invests with select general partners in private buyouts.
Which sectors does Allianz Capital Partners typically avoid?
ACP avoids venture capital and early-stage technology investments, focusing on mature, cash-flow-generating assets. It also generally steers clear of fossil-fuel-related investments, given Allianz's net-zero commitments, and does not engage in hedge fund strategies.
