Management fees should not exceed 2% of the total commitment. A qualified fund house must have a minimum $5 billion of infrastructure assets under management.
GEPS will receive proposals for the mandate by May 3 at 4 p.m (Seoul local time).
In 2021, GEPS is targeting a 4.1% return on average from investments.
