Favourable foreign exchange movements have offset a marginal net increase in government bond yields since the end of December.
With that in mind, the group is targeting a full-year 2013 dividend of 6.15p per share, up 2.5% from the previous year.
The company has delivered a total shareholder return of 79.9% since its initial public offering in November 2006.
A total of £46.5m of new capital has been raised from investors by means of tap issuance.
A further £40m was raised in January to support the near term pipeline of opportunities and an additional £6.5m was issued during April and May to satisfy demand for the company's shares that cannot be met through the secondary market.
The group had about £85m of cash available for investment at the end of the period.
"The company's portfolio continues to perform well and the company is confident that there continues to be a number of attractive infrastructure opportunities in the UK and in the overseas jurisdictions in which the advisor is represented and knowledgeable," IPP said.
