Last updated: August 7, 2026, 3:48 PM ET

Healthcare Investments

Regal Healthcare Capital Partners closed its fourth fund at $610 million, exceeding its target and underscoring continued institutional appetite for healthcare-focused private equity. Altaris agreed to acquire Clarivate’s Life Sciences & Healthcare business, marking a significant carve-out deal in the sector. The transaction highlights how specialist buyers are consolidating high-value healthcare data and analytics assets amid shifting market dynamics. These two deals collectively demonstrate robust fundraising and M&A activity across the healthcare private equity landscape in recent days.

Infrastructure Investments

ECP closed its sixth infrastructure fund at $8.1 billion, more than 50% above its initial target and in just 18 months, reflecting strong LP demand for energy transition and utility assets. Agallas Equities is planning a $5 billion Caribbean-focused inaugural infrastructure fund, targeting major projects in the Dominican Republic with early interest from Gulf state family offices. Meanwhile, APG’s longstanding APAC infrastructure head Hans-Martin Aerts exited after 25 years, following the departure of the global infrastructure head a month earlier at the €639bn Dutch pension asset manager. Industriens Pension’s head of infra Mikkel Kjaersgaard described geopolitical turmoil as “business as usual” for the €37bn fund, emphasizing co-investments and secondaries. A separate analysis questions whether transport packaging assets can shed their non-core perception among infrastructure purists, ultimately leaving the decision to LPs.
