Infrastructure & Real Estate Fundraising

Infrastructure fundraising saw a mixed picture, with a global comeback to $1.2 trillion indicated, though the benefits for investors remain uneven. Large-cap funds continue to dominate fundraising efforts in Asia-Pacific, with the strength of 2026 fundraising potentially resting on a single vehicle, KKR Asia Pacific Infrastructure Investors III as noted. This contrasts with the often superior performance of mid-market infrastructure strategies, which deliver greater benefits to investors despite their smaller scale according to analysis. In the energy transition space, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners is seeking €16 billion for its latest renewables flagship, following a successful close above its €12 billion target for its prior fund as reported. Reinova is also targeting a $500 million first close for its debut energy transition infrastructure fund, having raised nearly two-thirds of its goal within ten months of launching the strategy exclusive reports.

Direct investments are also gaining traction, with Altérra joining I Squared's $600 million vehicle for a Peruvian power business, marking Altérra's first direct investment in Latin America and its second co-investment with I Squared details emerged. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is also eyeing infrastructure as a significant area for nature-based finance indicated. On the platform side, I Squared is building its Asia-Pacific infrastructure platform, while Ares has appointed a new head for its infrastructure debt team, and Stonepeak is exiting a pipeline project as detailed.

In real estate, the placement agent landscape is becoming clearer with the introduction of the first PERE ranking, which analyzes capital advisory firms based on new and aggregate equity raised over the past year according to the publication. Greystar's top capital raiser has moved to Hawkeye Partners to bolster its fund platform, as the firm expands its focus from seeding emerging managers to launching its own real estate funds reported. Matter Real Estate has also made a strategic hire, appointing a former Ares executive to lead its European expansion efforts from London stated.
