Infrastructure & Capital Allocation

The global infrastructure market is witnessing a $1.2trn fundraising comeback, yet institutional investors are shifting their mandates to favor specialized partnerships over traditional flagship models. AllianzGI is demanding more specific mandates from general partners, signaling a move away from broad, diversified vehicles toward targeted strategies that align with long-term liability profiles. This appetite for precision is further evident as anchor investors increasingly opt for co-investment models to mitigate risk when entering less established fund strategies, preferring to share the capital burden rather than acting as sole liquidity providers.

AI Infrastructure & Strategic Deals

The massive shift toward a $7trn AI capex supercycle has forced the sector’s largest general partners to redefine their investment theses, prioritizing energy-intensive data center assets and power connectivity. Capitalizing on this trend, Altérra joined a $600m continuation vehicle led by I Squared Capital to support a Peruvian power business, demonstrating how specialized secondary market transactions are providing exit liquidity for maturing assets while maintaining exposure to essential utilities. These moves reflect a broader institutional intent to capture high-growth regional opportunities while securing the physical infrastructure required to support the next generation of computing power.
