Healthcare Private Equity

SkyKnight Capital thehealthcareinvestor.com has signed a definitive agreement to invest in Apex Infusion, extending private equity's push into infusion services. The week's headline transaction saw Warburg Pincus thehealthcareinvestor.com agree to acquire a controlling interest in PANTHERx Rare through a Warburg Pincus-led investor group, in a deal valued at $7bn — evidence of sustained appetite for rare-disease specialty pharmacy platforms.

AI Infrastructure

A companion paper argues the practice already matches the theory: the energy and digital infrastructure infrastructureinvestor.com loop is accelerating, with the AI buildout reaching $500bn as surging power demand and data-center investment reinforce one another.

Fundraising & Pension Allocations

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners infrastructureinvestor.com secured a $3bn final close for its second growth-markets renewables strategy, drawing strong support from existing investors despite geopolitical headwinds. Public pension capital is moving more cautiously by contrast: infrastructure assets at the National Pension Service infrastructureinvestor.com grew 13.4% in 2024, a marked slowdown from the 24.2% expansion recorded in 2023.
