Sydney, 2 April 2025 – Reach Alts, a specialist private markets platform, has formed a strategic partnership with leading global investment firm Russell Investments to broaden adviser access to top-tier private market opportunities in Australia.

The partnership will leverage Russell Investments institutional investment management expertise, global reach and deep research capabilities, enhancing Reach Alts’ existing suite of wholesale funds, which provide access to top-tier global private markets.

The newly launched Reach Global Private Infrastructure Fund provides wholesale investors with seamless access to top-tier unlisted infrastructure investment managers through the Russell Investments Global Unlisted Infrastructure Fund S.C.A., SICAV-RAIF. Underlying investments include high-quality assets across transport, renewables, utilities, and digital infrastructure, offering inflation-linked returns and stable long-term cash flows. It is now available on the Reach Alts platform.

“Our longevity in conducting extensive manager research and due diligence in manager selection and portfolio construction were instrumental in Reach’s decision to partner with us, said Neil Rogan, Head of Distribution for Russell Investments in Australia and New Zealand. “We are well placed to provide further investment and distribution solutions as the partnership progresses. Russell Investments’ open architecture approach aligns perfectly with Reach Alts’ mission to break down barriers and enable advisers to allocate high-quality private markets opportunities for their clients, as well as non-profits such as charities and educational institutions.”

“We are excited to partner with Russell Investments, a global leader in multi-manager investments across both public and private markets,” said Sam Phillips, Chief Executive of Reach Alts. “This partnership strengthens our offering to wholesale investors and advisers, seeking access to institutional-grade private markets, backed by deep research and robust portfolio construction. It’s timely to open access to quality global unlisted infrastructure assets, which play a crucial role in building stable and diversified investment portfolios.”

The Reach Global Private Infrastructure Fund has a minimum investment of $25,000. In line with quarterly asset valuations, the fund will offer quarterly redemptions with a one-year lock-up period. This structure enables investors to benefit from the long-term stability and growth potential of infrastructure assets, as well as understand these assets are less liquid than equities and other listed products.
