Healthcare Investments

Regal Healthcare Capital Partners closed its fourth private equity fund at $610M, exceeding its original target and signaling sustained demand for healthcare buyouts. In a separate transaction, Altaris announced it will acquire Clarivate’s Life Sciences & Healthcare business, a move that consolidates specialized data and analytics assets in the life sciences sector.

Infrastructure Fundraising Surge

ECP closed its sixth fund at $8.1bn, more than 50% above its original target within 18 months, driven by strong limited partner demand for energy transition and digital infrastructure. Separately, Agallas Equities is preparing a $5bn inaugural infrastructure fund focused on the Caribbean, particularly the Dominican Republic, attracting early interest from Gulf state family offices.

Personnel Moves and Strategy Shifts

Hans-Martin Aerts departed APG after 25 years as head of Asia-Pacific infrastructure, following the global infrastructure head’s exit last month, leaving the €639bn Dutch pension manager searching for replacements. Meanwhile, at Industriens Pension, Mikkel Kjaersgaard affirmed the €37bn Danish fund sees “business as usual” despite geopolitical turmoil, continuing co-investments and secondaries. The sector’s expanding definition is highlighted by a debate over transport packaging assets, which challenge purist views and leave limited partners to decide what qualifies as infrastructure.
