Sector Investment 3 Days

Last updated: August 7, 2026, 2:34 PM ET

Healthcare & Life Sciences

Regal Healthcare Capital Partners closed its fourth private equity fund at $610M, coming in above target as healthcare fundraising continues to attract institutional capital despite broader market volatility. Altaris has announced it will acquire Clarivate's Life Sciences & Healthcare business, a strategic move that expands Altaris's healthcare portfolio and reshapes the sector's information services landscape for investors tracking deal flow.

Infrastructure Fundraising

ECP closed its largest fund at $8.1bn, more than 50% above target in just 18 months, with chief investment officer Tyler Reeder citing DPI's very big role in the successful fundraise and strong LP demand for energy transition assets. Agallas Equities is planning a $5bn Caribbean-focused inaugural infrastructure fund targeting major projects in the Dominican Republic and surrounding areas, with Gulf state family offices showing early interest in the region's development potential.

Leadership & Strategy

Hans-Martin Aerts has moved on after 25 years as APG's APAC infrastructure head, a month after the €639bn Dutch pension asset manager's global infrastructure head departed, signaling a leadership transition at one of Europe's largest institutional investors. Mikkel Kjaersgaard of Industriens Pension says the €37bn Danish fund's infrastructure approach, including co-investments and secondaries, remains "business as usual" despite geopolitical turbulence, underscoring the asset class's resilience in volatile markets. Transport packaging assets may not be the full package for infrastructure purists, but it's ultimately for LPs to decide whether to accept delivery as the sector's definition continues to evolve.
