Infrastructure & Real Assets Fundraising

Global infrastructure investment is grappling with market volatility, yet fundraising momentum remains strong, with KKR targeting $5bn for its third Asia-Pacific infrastructure fund, potentially setting a new regional record if it surpasses the $6.4bn raised by its predecessor. This activity signals a belief in infra’s expanding universe, as managers like IFM Investors plan to increase exposure to value-add strategies to supplement core holdings, a theme also evident at recent global summits where the nuclear resurgence and battery tech were cited as areas of future growth.

Private Equity & Real Estate Deals

In real estate, private equity giants are deploying significant capital into specialized plays, demonstrated by Apollo acquiring a 49% stake in a joint venture with Realty Income for $1 billion, based on a portfolio of single-tenant retail properties under long-term net leases. Meanwhile, managers are achieving milestones in Asia, as CBRE Investment Management successfully raised funds for its Japan strategy, while sovereign wealth funds like GIC place bets on built-to-suit logistics facilities across the region to capture supply chain shifts.
