Infrastructure fundraising reached a new low in H1 2026 with only $40.8bn raised, significantly below the $71.6bn collected in H1 2024, which was previously the worst year on record. The decline reflects continued investor caution and challenging market conditions across major regions.

Despite the overall downturn, several notable funds achieved closes. DTCP secured a €1 billion first close for its latest European digital infrastructure fund, while Quinbrook reached a £587 million final close for its second UK renewables fund. HMC Capital also marked a first close for its energy transition platform.

In Asia-Pacific, large funds continued to dominate fundraising activity, with NIIF's second infrastructure fund approaching a first close. Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank agreed to take a 15% stake in Morrison, highlighting ongoing strategic investments in the sector.
