About InfraRed
InfraRed manages specialist funds creating value through investing in projects in infrastructure and real estate.
We are headquartered in London and have offices in Hong Kong, New York and Paris. Our history dates from 1990 when, as Charterhouse Bank, we began investing in real estate, duly expanding in 1997 to encompass infrastructure investments. In 2000, we were acquired by HSBC and rebranded as HSBC Specialist Investments Limited (‘HSIL’). We currently employ approximately 80 staff.
Since inception we have launched 11 funds, six of which have been completely or materially realised. In 2006 we launched HICL Infrastructure Company Limited on the London Stock Exchange.
Following the completion of a spin-out from HSBC in April 2011 the business is owned by its management team with HSBC remaining as a significant minority shareholder.
