Infrastructure Fundraisings Gather Pace

Private equity firm ECP is nearing the close of its ECP VI fund, which has to $7.8 billion, surpassing its revised hard-cap. The fund initially targeted $5 billion with a $7.5 billion cap. Meanwhile, Clifford Capital Asset Management is focused on infrastructure credit, with its Energy Transition Acceleration Finance partnership already securing $345 million toward a $600 million goal. The infrastructure secondaries market is also emerging as a key allocation for investors, according to Pantheon, as managers explore continuation funds.

Sector Outlook and Risks

The healthcare private equity landscape is currently characterized by a focus on strategic deals, as discussed by Holly Buckley of McGuire Woods. However, the broader infrastructure sector faces potential disruptions, particularly in renewables, where the fallout from geopolitical events could. This comes as infrastructure investors increasingly prioritize managers based on the alpha they generate, rather than solely on fund vintage years, indicating a shift in valuation metrics.
