F2i SGR and Finavias, a vehicle owned by the Dutch asset manager APG and funds managed by Ardian, strengthen their partnership on 2i Rete Gas, Italy’s second largest operator in gas distribution.
2i Rete Gas boasts approximately 4.5 million customers across the country, a turnover of 718 million at the end of 2020, 2 thousand employees and operates in the gas network management, dispatching and marketing. The company became part of F2i SGR’s portfolio in 2009, when the infrastructure fund acquired 64%, currently held by Fund III. An additional 8.1% shares were bought by F2i SGR’s Fund II in 2013. Eight years after the acquisition and following a path of growth that has taken the operator from 3.8 million to approximately 4.5 million customers, the shares will be transferred to APG and Ardian, which will increase their existing 28% stake in the company.  

The acquisition from Alisarda SpA of around 80% of Geasar SpA, the management company of Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, has been completed by F2i Ligantia, the holding company controlled by F2i Sgr and owned by Fondazione Sardegna and Blackrock Infrastructure. Olbia airport is the second largest airport in Sardinia in terms of pasenger numbers and one of the main hubs in Europe for general aviation (private jets).

F2i SGR, Italy's leading infrastructure fund, has signed an agreement to sell 70% of E2i Energie Speciali to Edison, which already owns 30%. This marks the end of a sixyear partnership that led to the creation of one of Italy's leading wind energy operators. F2i will continue to be a leading investor in the wind energy sector through the Sorgenia group, which was recently acquired and into which the F2i funds transferred all their wind power assets with a total of capacity of 300 Megawatts.

Crédit Agricole Assurances, the leading French institutional investor in renewable energy, together with CA Vita, its Italian life insurance subsidiary, announces the acquisition of a 30% stake in the capital of EF Solare from F2i Sgr, Italy’s main infrastructure fund, which will retain ownership of the remaining 70% of the capital through its Third Fund.

F2i SGR, Italy's leading infrastructure fund, has signed an agreement to acquire the MarterNeri Group, a port terminal operator in Monfalcone and Livorno, from VEI Log Spa. MarterNeri, which was established in 1969 by the founding families, holds concessions and authorisations in Monfalcone and Livorno.
