About the transaction:
The sale of Akur’s asset management contract to the Guggenheim Group was the culmination of a significant turnaround in the operation and scale of Infrastructure India plc, from a sub scale infrastructure fund, to one which almost quadrupled in size under Akur’s management to approximately £170m market capitalisation and over £250m enterprise value. Akur spent over three years working on the project and was proud to conclude the sale of the asset management contract to such a well-known and respected group.
