BRIDGE BRIDGE is an infrastructure debt platform initiated by Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management (EdRAM) to enable institutional investors to access infrastructure assets with secured and stable revenue streams. BRIDGE is a London based second generation debt fund sourcing and structuring transactions directly from sponsors when feasible and one of the few independent debt teams only investing on behalf of clients. The BRIDGE team has the ability to execute and deliver transactions as efficiently as traditional lenders as well as negotiate terms and conditions bringing optimised yield and security to investors. The BRIDGE platform was set up as a new leg of EDR’s Infrastructure, Real Assets & Structured Finance Team striving to take advantage of the expertise of the infrastructure sector acquired when the team became a global leader in PPP & Transport infrastructure financial advisory in 2011 and 2012. The BRIDGE platform raised € 400m of new monies in 2016 and has successfully reached the €1bn mark of Assets under Management at the end of 2016.
