The infrastructure asset manager has strengthened its 18 portfolio companies through multiple debt structures including bridge loans, asset-backed securities, and long-term notes.
Argo Infrastructure Partners (“Argo”), a leading mid-market asset manager targeting essential infrastructure assets in North America, has announced the completion of approximately US$2 billion in strategic financing transactions across its portfolio companies over the past 12 months.
Founded by Jason Zibarras, Argo has demonstrated its ability to support its portfolio of 18 high-quality infrastructure companies by raising debt financing across various markets, structures, and asset classes at favorable rates and terms. The firm has guided several portfolio companies through inaugural credit ratings processes, securing investment grade ratings for long-term debt issuance.
“We view prudent debt capital and restructuring as a key lever in unlocking long-term value. By securing capital structures and sources aligned with each portfolio company’s operating profile, it improves financial flexibility,” said Zibarras. “Our platform-wide financing efforts have reduced volatility and enabled our portfolio companies to unlock and pursue organic and step growth opportunities.”
The financing transactions span multiple portfolio companies, including TierPoint (data centers), Corning Energy, Hawaii Gas, Smoky Mountain Hydro, and LAZ Parking. These companies represent regulated utilities, renewable power assets, and digital infrastructure investments.
Andrew Zaroulis, Managing Director at Argo, noted that the firm’s “ability to source and structure bespoke financing solutions is a powerful differentiator” for its portfolio companies, leveraging deep lender relationships and infrastructure expertise to unlock access to lower-cost capital.
