Infrastructure & Energy Transition

Infrastructure managers are positioning themselves to capture a share of the projected $7trn AI-driven capital expenditure supercycle, as major GPs outline their vision for the long-term energy and data infrastructure required by hyperscalers. This surge in demand coincides with a broader infrastructure fundraising comeback that has reached $1.2trn, though the concentration of capital remains a point of contention for smaller players. Amid this environment, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners is targeting €16bn for its latest flagship fund, building on the momentum of its previous vehicle, which closed above its €12bn target in March 2025. Smaller managers are also finding traction, as Reinova eyes a $500M first close for its debut energy transition fund, with the firm expected to secure nearly two-thirds of its total fundraising target within ten months of launching the strategy.

Private Equity & Healthcare

Healthcare investment remains a high-conviction area, with Ampersand Capital Partners closing a $1.5bn fund to target growth equity opportunities in the life sciences and healthcare sectors. The deal activity within this space continues to consolidate, as demonstrated by Align Capital Partners' acquisition of Heritage Imaging, a move intended to establish a new platform in the diagnostic imaging market. These strategies are increasingly supported by institutional investors who are moving beyond simple flagship commitments, as AllianzGI demands more specialized GP strategies to provide better risk-adjusted returns in a complex macro climate. Meanwhile, risk management is evolving through collaborative structures, as Altérra joined I Squared’s $600M co-investment vehicle to support a Peruvian power business, illustrating a trend where anchor investors are choosing to mitigate risk by partnering with other capital providers rather than acting alone.

Real Estate & Asset Allocation

The real estate sector is undergoing a structural shift, with the launch of the PERE Credit 100 ranking signaling an industry-wide pivot toward private credit as managers prepare to play an essential role in the upcoming wave of commercial real estate refinancing. This focus on credit comes as institutional portfolios rebalance, with core real estate regaining appeal among investors who view traditional property as a hedge against the rising volatility and geopolitical risks currently impacting other real asset classes. The transition toward these defensive positions reflects a broader caution, as managers weigh the stability of core assets against the potential for higher yields in the private debt markets that are expected to dominate the investment narrative throughout the next cycle.
