Infrastructure & Private Equity Fundraising

Concerns persist over market complacency regarding geopolitical turbulence, as I Squared founder Sadek Wahba warned that investors are "sleepwalking" on risks stemming from the Iran conflict, tempering his enthusiasm even amid the AI infrastructure boom. This caution arrives as the private equity fundraising environment cools considerably, with unlisted, closed-end structures only gathering $26.4 billion in the first quarter—the second-lowest figure recorded in the last six years. However, the sector anticipates a rebound, given that several large-cap funds are scheduled to finalize closings over the remaining three quarters. Furthermore, Infrastructure Investor is deepening its coverage following the acquisition of Scientific Infra & Private Assets, aiming to enhance quantitative analysis across the market segment.
