AIMCo sells 50 pct interest in Chile's Autopista Central for $1.5 bln
Alberta Investment Management Corp (AIMCo) has sold its 50 percent interest in Autopista Central de Chile to Abertis Infraestructuras SA, a subsidiary of Abertis. Abertis paid €948 million ($1.5 billion) for Autopista Central, a 61-kilometre highway concession, giving it full control of the asset. AIMCo acquired the stake in December 2010, joining a consortium with 100 percent ownership of Autopista Central SA unit, a Santiago-based toll road services provider. Ben Hawkins, senior vice president, infrastructure and timberlands, at AIMCo, said the Edmonton-based pension fund manager is "committed to investing further in Chile given the right opportunities."
