Last updated: October 8, 2026, 4:58 AM ET

Infrastructure Investment

Ardian Infrastructure CIO Marion Calcine discussed European infrastructure opportunities on a recent podcast, noting that managers have become less cautious about building growth into their business plans. Sponsors and LPs are also reassessing key personnel terms in fund documentation, as CV tailoring becomes central with most capital already deployed.

Fundraising

Alpha Alternatives is nearing a $600m final close for its India-focused Build India Infrastructure Fund, which is widening its mandate beyond roads to other infrastructure segments. Overall fundraising remains uneven, though a third-quarter surge lifted activity, with more than $45bn of the roughly $100bn raised in the first nine months concentrated in that quarter.

Clean Energy

After a difficult stretch for low-carbon investors, US clean energy assets are regaining momentum, signaling a more constructive backdrop for deployment.

Healthcare

Thurston Group has acquired Pixel Health, adding to the steady flow of private equity transactions in life sciences.

Real Estate

The Canadian pension CPP Investments has expanded into India's hotel sector, a move backed by deepening capital markets and a broader hospitality recovery.
