Korea Post Savings, the investment unit of Korea Post, has issued a request for proposal for infrastructure fund managers.
The unit aims to commit a total of $200 million to at most two managers targeting core strategy, with 30 percent or less investing in greenfield if any.
The successful firms should manage a vehicle of less than $12 billion in size, with at least 70 percent of the capital raised investing in North America. The vehicle should be either a commingled fund or a separate managed account.
The submission date is 20 November and a decision will be put to the investment committee on 21 December.
As illustrated below, the 133.85 trillion Korean won ($120.5 billion; €101.9 billion) South Korean government agency has a 6 percent allocation to alternative investments.
