Real Estate & Infrastructure Investment

Azora is expanding its global footprint by appointing a former Partners Group executive to spearhead international growth, aiming to build upon its U.S. platform and enter new European territories. This strategic move comes as the private real estate sector grapples with underperformance in assets acquired during the pandemic, prompting limited partners to intensify scrutiny over manager selection versus broader market timing errors. Separately, the infrastructure fundraising environment remains active, with SDC securing $1.5bn for its fifth digital infrastructure fund, while Infranity is approaching its €3bn target, underscoring continued capital flow into digital and core assets. Stonepeak is also active, leading a $6bn utility deal in the U.S. market.
