AGF announces receipt of special distribution from Stream Asset Financial LP
TORONTO, July 28, 2015 /CNW/ - In 2014, AGF Management Limited (AGF)
announced plans to introduce an alternatives business as part of the
firm's growth strategy. One of the first initiatives included the
creation of a general partner platform and a related investment in
Stream Asset Financial LP (Stream).
In September 2014, the Firm announced that Stream, a midstream oil and
gas infrastructure Fund had achieved its final close. The Fund was
oversubscribed with equity commitment of approximately $210 million
with AGF having a $50 million commitment as a cornerstone investor. The
fund is 60% invested, approximately 75% allocated, and expects to
deploy the remainder of the committed capital over the remainder of
2015.
In July, Stream monetized its seed asset in the midstream energy fund.
In connection with that transaction, AGF has received proceeds of $16
million in the form of a special distribution.
"We are pleased with the progress of our developing alternatives
business," said Blake C. Goldring, President and Chief Executive
Officer, AGF Management Limited. "With Stream, our alternatives
business marked its entry into Canada's midstream energy sector
partnering with the talented investors at Stream. We are very happy
with the performance to date and for the returns that will benefit the
shareholders of AGF."
