Infrastructure & Real Estate Fundraising

Infrastructure fundraising remains a strong focus for investors, with Seraya reaching the halfway mark for its $1.5 billion sophomore fund. Conifer Infrastructure also closed its first fund at a $900 million hard cap, targeting a 25% net IRR and already deploying $190 million into hydroelectric, biogas, and helium ventures. In a separate development, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners is seeking €16 billion for its latest renewables flagship, following a successful close above its €12 billion target for its predecessor in March 2025. Meanwhile, Starwood Capital closed Fund XIII at $10.2 billion, surpassing its $10 billion goal despite a challenging real estate market.

Sector Strategies & Opportunities

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is exploring infrastructure as the next significant area for nature finance. This strategic shift comes as private real estate managers face continued performance uncertainty when being absorbed into larger entities. Amidst these sector-specific developments, I Squared Capital's APAC platform and Stonepeak's pipeline exit are also noted in ongoing industry transactions.
