Infrastructure Fundraisings and Strategy

KKR has achieved a final close of $19.2bn for its latest flagship infrastructure fund, marking the largest fundraising to date for the firm and surpassing the $17bn raised for its predecessor in March 2022. Agallas Equities is planning an inaugural Caribbean-focused infrastructure fund with a target of $5bn, attracting early interest from Gulf state family offices for major projects in the Dominican Republic and surrounding areas. Industriens Pension a Danish fund with €37bn in assets, is maintaining a "business as usual" approach to infrastructure investments despite current geopolitical turbulence, according to Mikkel Kjaersgaard, Head of Infrastructure. Aware Super is in discussions to merge with Prime Super, which would add approximately A$8bn in assets under management to Aware Super's already substantial capital pool.

Deal Activity and Sector Focus

Altaris is set to acquire the Life Sciences & Healthcare business from Clarivate, a significant move within the healthcare private equity space. While transport assets may not appeal to all infrastructure purists, the decision ultimately rests with limited partners on whether to accept such investments. Kuwait has secured the largest foreign direct investment deal ever, part of a substantial $16bn infrastructure pipeline. The healthcare sector is also seeing activity in areas like medical spas, with discussions around growth and capital strategy involving figures like Amanda Blank, CEO of Founders Beauty Group.
