Infrastructure & Real Estate Capital Deployment

The infrastructure fundraising sphere continues to show concentration, with the top ten funds raising a combined $403 billion between 2021 and 2025, underscoring the dominance of established managers. This environment sees new entrants like the UAE-backed Altérra seeking tangible returns, with its CEO asserting they deploy "catalytic capital" rather than concessional money to drive infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, Basalt Infrastructure Partners successfully secured $1.5 billion for the initial close of its fifth infrastructure fund, achieving half of its $3 billion goal just eight months after launch.

In response to demand for stability, Australia’s Qualitas is expanding its direct real estate capabilities by establishing an in-house asset management platform designed specifically to source and manage stable, income-producing investments.
