Infrastructure & Real Estate Investment

Infrastructure investors are actively deploying capital, with Conifer Infrastructure's first fund closing at its hard-cap of $900 million. Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners is targeting €16 billion for its latest renewables flagship, following a successful €12 billion close for its predecessor fund. Seraya Partners has reached the halfway mark for its $1.5 billion sophomore fund, expecting a final close by the end of 2026. Meanwhile, the EBRD is eyeing infrastructure as a new avenue for nature-based finance, signaling a growing trend in the sector.

In related news, I Squared Capital's APAC platform is actively building its portfolio, and Stonepeak Partners has exited a pipeline project. The deployment of capital extends to private equity, with Starwood Capital closing its $10.2 billion Fund XIII, identifying an attractive entry point in the real estate market despite a challenging fundraising environment in 2023. This follows a robust fundraising year for real estate managers, though the integration of smaller entities into larger platforms does not guarantee continued performance or fundraising success as private real estate managers are absorbed.
