I Squared Capital nears $10bn in commitments for its next infrastructure fund, signaling robust investor confidence. The firm expects to secure two-thirds of its $15bn target by month-end, just nine months after launch. This surge reflects institutional demand for assets like grids, transport, and data centers as governments prioritize modernization. Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners raised €1.3bn ($1.4bn) for its CI Green Credit Fund II, aiming for €2bn total.

The fund targets renewable energy and energy transition projects across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, with participation from sovereign wealth funds and pensions. Ardian, partnering with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority subsidiary, launched a real estate secondaries platform amid a $20bn 2025 market. This formalizes Ardian’s opportunistic real estate secondaries strategy, leveraging its expertise in liquidity solutions.
