Infrastructure & Energy Transition

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners is targeting €16bn for its latest flagship renewable energy fund, building on the momentum of its previous vehicle which exceeded its €12bn goal in March 2025. This move coincides with a broader infrastructure fundraising comeback that has seen $1.2tn in capital committed, though market participants remain divided on which managers are capturing the largest share of inflows. Meanwhile, Reinova is eyeing a $500m first close for its debut energy transition fund, aiming to secure nearly two-thirds of its total target within just 10 months of launching the strategy.

Data Centers & Industrial Capital

Affinius is nearing a $1bn final close for its first data center-focused fund, having already secured $905m from backers including the Canadian pension fund La Caisse. This capital allocation reflects the ongoing AI capex supercycle that has prompted the largest global infrastructure managers to pivot their investment theses toward power-hungry compute assets. In a related push for specialized real estate, Affinius and Urban Partners are utilizing bespoke co-investment schemes to provide LPs with flexible exposure, a strategy that helps managers unlock liquidity in an otherwise constrained transaction environment.

Private Equity & Deal Activity

Align Capital Partners has expanded its healthcare portfolio through the acquisition of Heritage Imaging, marking another move by private equity firms to consolidate fragmented medical service providers. The deal follows a period where anchor investors have opted to partner with multiple capital providers rather than acting alone, a tactic designed to mitigate the risks associated with unproven fund strategies. Additionally, I Squared Capital has secured a $600m continuation vehicle for its Peruvian power business, with the state-backed investment platform Altérra participating in the deal to support the asset’s next phase of growth.

Real Estate Credit & Strategy

PERE’s debut ranking of top private real estate credit fundraisers highlights a shift in the market, as managers prepare for a cycle defined by widespread refinancing needs and capital structure support. While some investors turn to private credit, core real estate is regaining appeal for those wary of the risks associated with other real assets, particularly as geopolitical tensions increase the volatility of infrastructure and commodity-linked holdings. This strategic realignment is occurring at a time of leadership turnover at Partners Group, where the Asia real estate head is departing following a recent expansion of his regional responsibilities into North America.

Mid-Market Emerging Managers

Tallvine is approaching its $1.5bn fundraising target for a debut mid-market infrastructure fund, a milestone for the manager following its 2024 spin-out from I Squared Capital. This first-time manager launch serves as a benchmark for how independent teams are navigating the current fundraising landscape. As these smaller players look to establish a track record, AllianzGI is signaling that it is seeking more than just flagship fund offerings from its general partners, preferring customized solutions that provide targeted exposure rather than broad-market, one-size-fits-all infrastructure products.
