It has further asked interested parties to propose a benchmark and said any asset manager should have at least $100m in infrastructure equity under management.
Firms should manage $1bn in total assets and have a three-year track record.
Applications, stating gross-of-fees performance to the end of September, should be submitted by 25 October.

M&G Investments, Longview Partners, Sarasin & Partners and Australia’s Magellan Asset Management were appointed to the framework, attracting interest from three further managers.
Lastly, the £100m (€118m) Interface Europe Pension Scheme has appointed KPMG to provide it with full trustee services.
