I Squared Capital Advisors (US) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ISQ” or “we”), is an
independent, privately held, asset management firm headquartered in Miami, Florida. We
focus on investments in infrastructure and infrastructure related assets located globally, with
a focus on North and South America, Europe, Australia and select growth economies including
India and China.
ISQ was formed in April 2012 and is principally owned and controlled by its Managing Partners,
Sadek M. Wahba, Gautam Bhandari, and Adil Rahmathulla.
We provide investment advisory services to privately offered pooled investment vehicles that
are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
whose securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We currently
provide investment advice to the ISQ Global Infrastructure Fund (“Fund I”) the ISQ Global
Infrastructure Fund II (“Fund II”), ISQ Global Infrastructure Fund III (“Fund III” and, together
with Funds I, and II, the “Global Funds”), ISQ Growth Markets Infrastructure Fund (the “Growth
Fund”), ISQ Global Infrastructure Credit Fund (the “Credit Fund”), ISQ Global Infratech Fund,
L.P. (the “Infratech Fund”) and the ISQ Energy Transition Fund (the “ET Fund”). The Global
Funds, the Growth Fund, the Credit Fund and the Infratech Fund are referred collectively as the
“Primary Funds.” Each of the Primary Funds is comprised of multiple investment vehicles that
invest in parallel with each other and which are managed together as a single portfolio. We
also provide investment advice to other pooled investment vehicles that we have formed to (i)
manage assets on behalf of select investors (the “Single Investor Funds”), or (ii) offer some of
the investors in the Primary Funds, as well as third parties, the opportunity to co-invest
alongside the Primary Funds, or independently from the Primary Funds, in infrastructure and
infrastructure related assets, (the “Co-Investment Vehicles” and, together with the Primary
Funds and the Single Investor Funds, the “Funds” or “Clients”).
As investment adviser for the Funds, we identify investment opportunities and participate in
the
sourcing, investigating, structuring, and negotiating of potential investments, monitoring
investments and helping them to execute their growth plans post-acquisition, advising with
respect to disposition opportunities and providing day-to-day managerial and administrative
services for the Funds. We provide these investment advisory services to the Funds pursuant
to advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”). The terms of the investment advisory
services to be provided by us to the Funds, including any specific investment guidelines or
restrictions, are set forth in the Advisory Agreements and/or in the relevant limited partnership
agreements and governing documents for each Fund (collectively, the “Fund Governing
Documents”).
In general, we do not tailor our investment advisory services to the needs of individual investors
in the Funds, though this may occur from time to time with the Single Investor Funds. In
accordance with common industry practice, a Fund or its general partner may from time to
time enter into a “side letter” or similar agreement with an investor pursuant to which the Fund
or its general partner grants the investor specific rights, altering or supplementing terms of the
Fund Governing Documents, including reducing or waiving distribution of carried interest or
payment of the management fee in respect of any such investor, as well as other benefits or
privileges that are not generally made available to all investors (as further set forth in the
relevant Fund Governing Documents). The other investors in a Fund will have no recourse
against the applicable Fund or any of its affiliates in the event that certain investors receive
additional or different rights or terms as a result of such side letters. See “Item 8 – Methods of
Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss” for additional details.
As of September 30, 2023, we had an estimated total of approximately $47,872,431,820 of
regulatory assets under management for the Funds, of which approximately $101,000,000
were managed on a non-discretionary basis and the rest of which were managed on a
discretionary basis.
