Its first fund, EISER Infrastructure Fund I, was founded by former ABN AMRO managing director Hans Meissner with €1.1 billion in capital commitments from institutional investors.〔 In 2006, EISER made its first investment in purchasing ESP Gas Group, the third largest independent gas transportation business in the UK and the fourth largest independent distribution network operator. Later in the year, the fund manager acquired two portfolios of private finance initiative (PFI) schools in Scotland at a "Preferred Bidder" stage. In December 2012, these two portfolios of schools became EISER’s first divestments when they were sold to HICL, the listed infrastructure investment company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= HICL Infrastructure Company Ld Acquisition of three new investments for £75m )〕 In 2007, EISER purchased Società Gasdotti Italia, an independent Italian energy transportation company. During the same year, the fund also purchased stakes in Aries Solar Termoeléctrica, which consists of two 50 MW thermo-solar plants under development in the Castile-La Mancha region of Spain, and Dioxipe Solar, which consists of one 50MW thermo-solar plant under development in Spain’s Extremadura region. 2007 also saw EISER make its first investment outside of Europe with its deal to develop the Cross City Tunnel in New South Wales, Australia. In 2008, EISER purchased George Best Belfast City Airport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= George Best Belfast City Airport – About Us )〕 While under EISER ownership, the airport has undergone a variety of changes, including new seasonal European routes and a new £1.7 million arrivals lounge. In 2009, Hans Meissner struck a deal to buy out the fund management company from Fortis/BNP Paribas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= UPDATE 1-ABN AMRO Infrastructure agrees MBO )〕 The deal was completed in early 2010, setting up EISER as an independent equity fund manager. EISER expanded its exposure in Italy with the purchase of a stake in Herambiente, an urban and special waste treatment firm. The group manages the entire cycle of the waste treatment business, excluding the waste collection, and owns 77 plants across Italy. In 2010, EISER took a stake in two Spanish transport interchange projects called Concesiones de Intercambiadores de Transporte. Interchanges provide safe, convenient terminals for passengers of suburban bus lines to transfer to major metro stations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= EISER buys stake in Spanish roads, transport hubs )〕 At this time EISER also purchased a stake in two long-term shadow toll road concessions in Spain, collectively known as Autovías de Peaje en Sombra. The first, Autovía del Noroeste, is a 62 km highway in the Murcia region, while Autovía del Turia is a 52.9 km highway in the Valencia region. In 2011, EISER secured financing for two solar power developments in Spain and acquired an interest in a third.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= EISER Infrastructure Diversifies Spanish Solar Power Portfolio )〕 During the same year, the fund manager also set up a fund advisory board featuring former infrastructure project managers, finance law specialists, and global investment advisors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= EISER establishes advisory board )〕 As of February 2013, EISER Infrastructure Fund I is fully invested.
