NEW YORK, Jan. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cantor Fitzgerald filed an initial SEC registration statement for Cantor Fitzgerald Sustainable Infrastructure Fund, an interval fund that will seek to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns with an emphasis on current income. The fund will pursue its investment objective by strategically investing in a portfolio of private institutional infrastructure investment funds and public infrastructure securities. Working with Capital Innovations as sub-adviser, the fund intends to focus on three infrastructure megatrends: (i) digital transformation, (ii) decarbonization, and (iii) enhancement of aging infrastructure assets. Cantor Fitzgerald expects to launch the fund in the second quarter of 2022.

Jay Frank, President of Cantor Fitzgerald Capital and COO of Cantor Fitzgerald Investment Management, stated, "We are excited about this new venture with Capital Innovations given that infrastructure is a natural addition to our investment platform leveraging our investment bank's expertise in power, energy, and infrastructure as well as the firm's domestic and global reach. The need for investment in infrastructure in the U.S. and around the world is extraordinary and we believe our platform is well positioned to provide investors with the opportunity to invest in sustainable investment strategies."

"We're looking forward to partnering with Cantor Fitzgerald, a firm with a track record of delivering innovative alternative investment solutions for clients. Investors are increasingly looking to private markets to meet the need for more income and diversification in portfolios. Sustainable investment strategies have seen an increase in demand and are expected to account for a third (USD $35.3 trillion) of all investments in the world's five largest markets in 2022.1 Our platform is well positioned to accommodate the growing market," added Susan Dambekaln, Co-Founder of Capital Innovations.

The fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the fund and should be viewed as a long-term investment. The fund is a closed-end fund, and there will not be a secondary market for the fund's shares. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the fund's quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the fund's shares outstanding at NAV. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer.

The underlying funds in which the fund may invest are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the underlying funds. The underlying funds are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the specific underlying fund. The use of leverage by the fund will magnify the fund's gains or losses.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing may take into consideration factors beyond traditional financial information to select securities, which could result in relative investment performance deviating from other strategies or broad market benchmarks, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. Further, ESG strategies may rely on certain values-based criteria to eliminate exposures found in similar strategies or broad market benchmarks, which could also result in relative investment performance deviating. There is no assurance that employing ESG strategies will result in more favorable investment performance.
