Allen & Overy (A&O) announced that it advised Kinterra Capital (Kinterra), a private equity firm that invests in and develops key critical minerals assets and strategic infrastructure necessary for the energy transition, on the formation of and fundraising for its debut fund, the Kinterra Battery Metals Mining Fund, LP (the Fund), which has closed with committed capital of USD565m, surpassing its USD500m target.
Kinterra Capital is a private equity firm investing in the people, ideas, critical minerals, and strategic infrastructure necessary to accelerate the energy transition. Kinterra aims to contribute to the Western World’s energy transition by finding assets that balance the ‘supply chain trilemma’: securing critical minerals for growing demand: from diversified sources in stable jurisdictions, in a socially responsible fashion.
The Fund attracted commitments from a variety of limited partners, ranging from endowments, foundations, public and private pension plans, consultants, OCIOs, and family offices. The fund has a robust pipeline of opportunities on both the upstream and midstream sections of the supply chain, and a fertile ecosystem of relationships that will generate and nurture proprietary deal flow.
“We’re ecstatic to have represented Kinterra on their debut fund,” said A&O Partner Jillian Ashley. “Critical minerals play a key role in the age of energy transition and this fund will support its continued advancement.”
New York based partner Jillian Ashley led the A&O team with support from New York based associates Niso Matari, David Kim and Carly Schreiber.
