Stafford Capital Partners has closed its fifth infrastructure secondaries fund, SISF V, with over $1.1 billion in commitments. This marks the firm's largest infrastructure vehicle to date and pushes its total infrastructure assets under management to $2.7 billion. The fund targets investments in secondary markets for infrastructure assets.

The fundraise comes amid growing institutional appetite for infrastructure secondaries, a niche allowing investors to gain exposure to mature projects without the typical development risk. Stafford’s strategy focuses on acquiring stakes in existing infrastructure funds and assets, offering liquidity to original investors while providing access to cash-flowing projects for new backers.

This capital injection positions Stafford to capitalize on a pipeline of secondary opportunities driven by fund rebalancing and portfolio exits. The success of SISF V signals strong confidence in the firm’s approach and could encourage more capital flow into the secondary infrastructure market, which remains less liquid than primary investments but offers attractive risk-adjusted returns.
