Semperian (formerly known as Trillium PPP Investment Partners), has announced today that it has completed the acquisition of the PPP management business from Trillium, creating Europe’s largest specialist PPP investment partnership. In addition, two Semperian investors, Victorian Funds Management Corporation of Australia and Transport for London Pension Fund, have acquired Trillium’s 10% investment in Semperian.

The acquisitions bring the fund and asset management businesses and the PPP investments together in one discrete organisation. As a result Semperian now owns and manages 108 assets with a value of £1.3 billion. 137 employees have transferred to Semperian ensuring that its public sector partners continue to benefit from working with the same highly experienced team.

Bill Doughty, who was previously responsible for the fund management business at Trillium, has been appointed Semperian’s Chief Executive Officer. Lord Currie of Marylebone remains Chairman of the newly named Semperian.
 
Bill Doughty, CEO, Semperian said: 

“These acquisitions represent a logical extension to the scope of the Semperian business. We have created a diverse, long term portfolio of PPP investments with attractive income characteristics. Our management team is unrivalled in terms of its expertise and experience.” 

Lord Currie, Chairman of Semperian said: 

“Semperian is an independent business with a focus on long term relationships between the public sector and our investors, many of whom are public pension funds. The bringing together of the management and the assets in one group further enhances the investment proposition, creating an excellent platform for further growth.”
