AMP Capital has appointed its Simon La Greca to as its Sydney-based head of infrastructure debt, part of a new team looking after opportunities in the energy, transportation, utilities and digital infrastructure sectors across Asia Pacific.

"I am delighted to announce the launch of this new and exciting addition to our global infrastructure debt portfolio," said AMP Capital global head of infrastructure debt Patrick Trears. "The new capability to be headed up by an experienced Partner in our business, Simon La Greca, reflects both the growing interest in the asset class by investors across the world who continue to seek out stable, yield-focused opportunities in increasingly volatile market conditions, and the tremendous growth in infrastructure investment across Asia."

La Greca has been with AMP Capital for more than 17 years. He previously spent time with Deutsche Bank.

"Infrastructure Debt Asia will build on AMP Capital's historic focus and provide mezzanine debt, typically used to bridge the gap between senior debt and equity funding, to both infrastructure construction projects and established businesses," said La Greca.
