BMO Launches ALTitude EQT Global Infrastructure Fund, Expanding Investor Access to Private Infrastructure Megatrends

 /NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS/ 

TORONTO, Nov. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, BMO Global Asset Management announced the launch of the ALTitude EQT Global Infrastructure Fund (the 'Fund'), its latest alternative strategy designed to expand access to private markets for accredited investors.

Developed in partnership with EQT, a leading global investment firm, the new strategy is centered on globally diversified private infrastructure – such as data centres, renewable power and waste management – and targets value-add infrastructure companies, primarily in Western Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. The Fund seeks to provide downside and inflation risk protection through investments in companies that own critical infrastructure with long-term contracts and high barriers to entry. Through a value-add approach, it seeks to deliver higher return targets than traditional core infrastructure investments.

"For accredited investors, this fund offers exposure to the growth and stability offered by next generation global infrastructure that is essential to today's economy," said Sara Petrcich, Head, ETFs & Alternatives, BMO Global Asset Management. "This fund is well positioned among BMO's range of alternative strategies that offer clients access to innovative investments that were once only available to institutional investors, as well as offering greater exposure to private markets. EQT brings a strong performance track record, a truly global reach, and is widely regarded as one of the premier private market investment firms."

"We are thrilled to partner with BMO to make EQT's global infrastructure platform accessible to accredited individual investors in Canada for the first time. Infrastructure is not only the backbone of resilient societies – it is also a stable and non-cyclical asset class supported by long-term macro trends such as digitalization and increasing urbanization," said Peter Aliprantis, Head of Private Wealth Americas, EQT. "Through EQT's infrastructure evergreen strategy, investors can diversify their portfolios globally with opportunities ranging from data centres and fiber networks to companies that power and progress communities."

Headquartered and listed in Stockholm, Sweden, EQT is the world's largest private markets firm outside North America, with offices and local teams based in 26 countries across Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Americas. Approximately 30 percent of the firm's total AUM of EUR 267 billion (as of 30 September 2025) is invested in infrastructure companies, and EQT's portfolio companies collectively operate around 500,000 kilometers of fiber networks, 70+ data centers, and 9 GW of utility-scale renewable energy projects globally – while making over 330 million passenger journeys annually via ferries and buses.
