Infrastructure & Private Debt Flows

Interest in infrastructure debt is gaining momentum as investors navigate divergence between that asset class and private debt, with several major funds actively deploying capital. SDC recently secured $1.5bn for its fifth digital infrastructure fund, while Infranity is nearing its €3bn fundraising target, illustrating sustained appetite for core assets. In dealmaking, Stonepeak is taking the lead on a substantial $6bn utility transaction, suggesting large-scale private equity is focusing on regulated infrastructure plays.

Real Estate Sector Shifts

The real estate sector is seeing strategic personnel moves amid ongoing performance reviews of older investments. Southern European specialist Azora appointed former Partners Group executive Anne-Jan Jager to spearhead international expansion, aiming to scale its US position and enter new European jurisdictions. Simultaneously, investors are scrutinizing recent losses across private real estate portfolios, debating whether the underperformance of Covid-era deals stems from poor market timing or deficiencies in manager selection.
