On April 29, 2025, the investment cooperation platform between Silk Road Fund (SRF) and Actis (hereinafter referred to as “the platform”) completed the first investment since its establishment. Funded in RMB, the investment is made in a Brazilian electricity transmission project. It represents SRF’s constructive step to invest in core infrastructure assets in emerging markets, facilitating electricity connectivity and advancing energy transition in the region.

At the beginning of 2025, SRF and Actis signed a framework agreement on the establishment of the platform. According to the agreement, the platform will invest in infrastructure assets in sectors such as energy, transportation and telecommunications in key emerging markets, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe and Africa, and will give priority to RMB as funding currency. The establishment of the platform will further enhance SRF’s investment presence in emerging markets, catalyze infrastructure cooperation and stimulate regional development and connectivity.

Chairwoman ZHU Jun met with Actis Chairman Mr. Torbjorn Caesar in Beijing in recent days. They exchanged views on advancing operation of the platform and explored further cooperation opportunities.
