Infrastructure & Real Estate Capital Raising

Private markets fundraising remains active, demonstrated by ECP VI nearing its target, as the firm’s sixth flagship fund is poised to close near $5bn less than 18 months post-launch. This capital deployment activity is occurring while managers like Sixth Street refine strategies across their real estate platforms, focusing on capabilities beyond mere capital provision to navigate macroeconomic volatility, AI-driven data demand, and turbulence in private credit. Concurrently, regulatory efforts aim to streamline deployment, with Australia planning faster approvals for renewable energy projects, setting a target timeframe of just 50 business days, although inherent complications persist in execution.
