AI Infrastructure

Nvidia’s newly branded “investable asset class” centers on a $500bn infrastructure commitment announced alongside investment managers, as the semiconductor giant seeks to reframe compute capacity as core digital infrastructure. Houlihan Lokey argues the convergence of energy and digital networks creates a self-reinforcing cycle, with the $500bn AI buildout accelerating demand across both sectors.

Renewable Energy

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners reached a $3bn final close for its second growth markets renewables strategy, overcoming geopolitical headwinds thanks to strong backing from existing investors. IMAS Foundation, the Dutch institution backed by IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad, remains cautious toward large infrastructure GPs and expresses skepticism over U.S. policy volatility affecting emerging markets.

Healthcare Private Equity

Warburg Pincus has agreed to lead an investor group acquiring a controlling stake in PANTHERx Rare for $7bn, marking one of the largest specialty pharmacy acquisitions in recent memory. SkyKnight Capital closed its fifth fund at $2bn, continuing its focus on middle-market healthcare investments.

Personnel Moves

Will MacAulay, head of unlisted assets at Australian super fund Hesta, has departed the organization. Gary Greene, infrastructure investment manager, is serving as acting general manager for unlisted assets while a permanent replacement is identified.
