The owners of rolling stock leasing company Porterbrook Rail Finance Ltd announced an agreement for the sale of their interests to an international consortium of investors on October 10. Porterbrook owns around 5 900 passenger and freight vehicles, representing approximately one-third of Great Britain's passenger fleet. It is owned by a consortium of Antin Infrastructure, OP Trust and iCON Infrastructure, which announced in May that it was 'exploring options' for a possible sale. The consortium which is to buy the business comprises Canadian pension fund manager Alberta Investment Management Corp; Allianz Capital Partners, which manages investments for insurance companies in the Allianz Group; the EDF Invest unlisted investment arm of EDF which supports its long-term nuclear decommissioning commitments; and funds managed by Australian infrastructure investor Hastings Funds Management.
