Infrastructure Funds Attract Major Capital

Aware Super is in discussions to merge with Prime Super, a move that would add approximately A$8bn in assets under management to Aware's already substantial portfolio. This potential merger underscores the continued strength and consolidation within the superannuation sector. KKR has successfully closed its latest flagship infrastructure fund at $19.2bn, marking its largest fundraising effort to date. This fund surpasses the $17bn raised for its previous predecessor vehicle in March 2022. The strong performance of KKR's real assets unit highlights robust investor appetite for infrastructure investments.

Dealmaking and Strategic Exits

Kuwait has secured the largest foreign direct investment deal ever recorded, with a pipeline project valued at $16bn. This significant transaction demonstrates considerable international interest in the region's energy infrastructure. In contrast, Nuveen is experiencing high-profile departures, with its global heads of clean energy leaving the firm. These exits suggest potential strategic shifts or challenges within Nuveen's clean energy division. The healthcare sector is also seeing activity, with Amanda Blank, CEO of Founders Beauty Group, discussing growth and capital strategies.
