Antin Infrastructure Partners

The firm is led by a partnership of managing partners including Alain Rauscher (CEO), Mark Crosbie (Managing Partner for the UK and North America), and Sébastien Feix (COO and Managing Partner). Founding partner Bruno Candès remains active within the firm. Investment decisions are made by the partnership collectively, with sector-specific teams leading due diligence on each deal (per Antin's 2021 firm overview).

Antin sources deals primarily through a combination of direct origination from its sector specialists — who maintain relationships with developers, governments, and corporate vendors — and selective participation in competitive processes. The firm avoids auctions where it has no informational advantage, and instead focuses on negotiated transactions, carve-outs from corporates, and partnership opportunities with public entities (per Infrastructure Investor, 2020).

Antin has publicly stated it avoids merchant-energy assets that carry commodity-price exposure — i.e., un-hedged power plants or hydrocarbon-dependent generation. The firm also avoids shipping and aircraft leasing, and has historically rejected any infrastructure with material technology obsolescence risk. Its focus is on essential-service assets with predictable, inflation-linked cash flows (per Antin's 2021 investor presentation).
