Infrastructure & Real Assets Fundraising

Investment managers are demonstrating persistent appetite for large-scale, long-duration assets, with Nuveen nearing its $2.5 billion goal for its second Infrastructure Equity Fund, EPIC II, which has already secured commitments approaching $2 billion. This activity occurs as Foresight appointed a new head of real assets to guide its strategy, while InfraVia executed a substantial power sector deal indicating continued focus on energy transition infrastructure. Separately, Ninety One is planning to launch a global emerging markets infrastructure debt strategy aiming for up to $1 billion in commitments, alongside scaling its existing Emerging Markets Transition Debt strategy toward $5 billion.

Real Estate & Digital Infrastructure

In the residential sector, Carmel Partners successfully closed its ninth U.S. multifamily fund having raised $1.35 billion, marking a strategic shift toward acquiring and upgrading established operating assets rather than focusing on new ground-up development due to shifting return profiles. Amidst this capital deployment, the fixed broadband sector in Europe shows divergence: certain fibre markets are thriving under favorable regulation, whereas others are facing a necessary "cleansing" process driven by overbuild and unsustainable leverage.
