Infrastructure Fundraisings and Deal Activity

KKR has achieved a final close of $19.2 billion for its latest flagship infrastructure fund. This fund represents KKR's largest fundraising effort to date, surpassing the $17 billion raised for its predecessor fund in March 2022. Infrastructure remains a strong focus for KKR's real assets unit. Agallas Equities is planning its inaugural Caribbean-focused infrastructure fund with a target of $5 billion. This fund is targeting major projects within the Dominican Republic and surrounding regions, and has already attracted early interest from family offices in the Gulf states.

Asset Management and Fund Mergers

Aware Super is on track to surpass A$250 billion in assets under management following merger discussions with Prime Super. The potential merger would add Prime Super's approximately A$8 billion in assets under management to Aware Super's considerably larger capital pool. Industriens Pension a Danish fund with €37 billion in assets, is navigating current geopolitical turbulence with a consistent approach to the infrastructure asset class, co-investments, and secondaries. The fund's head of infrastructure, Mikkel Kjaersgaard, stated that it is "business as usual" despite external market conditions. The suitability of transport packaging assets within the broader infrastructure sector is a decision for limited partners, depending on their investment criteria.
