Infrastructure & Private Equity Fundraising

The infrastructure investment sphere embraced market volatility while signaling a strong appetite for specialized sectors, including nuclear power and battery technology, as major managers push ahead with fundraising targets. KKR is currently approaching the first close of approximately $5 billion for its third Asia-Pacific infrastructure fund, positioning itself potentially to exceed the $6.4 billion raised for its predecessor, which would set a new regional fundraising benchmark. Concurrently, asset managers like IFM Investors are planning to increase their exposure to value-add infrastructure plays to complement existing core holdings, reflecting a strategic pivot within the asset class.

Real Estate Investment Transactions

Activity in real estate investment remains focused on strategic partnerships and specialized asset classes globally. Apollo is deploying $1 billion to acquire a 49 percent interest in a joint venture established with Realty Income, a deal underpinned by a portfolio of single-tenant retail properties secured by long-term net leases. Separately, CBRE Investment Management achieved a significant milestone in its Japan fundraising efforts, successfully closing a dedicated real estate vehicle, while GIC has committed capital toward built-to-suit logistics developments, prioritizing supply chain infrastructure.
