White papersEmbracing infrastructure opportunities: Infrastructure allocations gain momentum as investor interest grows
The rise in infrastructure assets under management (AuM) has been driven more by internal growth in unrealized value in recent years, as opposed to the growth in dry powder. Challenging fundraising conditions throughout 2023 and 2024, against a backdrop of a resurgent deal market, have seen dry power stocks fall 12% over 2024. While fundraising has more recently picked up, returning to a record pace in 1H25, longer-term growth in fundraising inflows is fundamentally a function of investor allocations.

White papersInfrastructure inflows: trickles turn to torrents
A heightened pace has returned to unlisted infrastructure fundraising in the first half of 2025, following a subdued 10 quarters since the rate hiking cycle commenced in mid-2022. The latest indicators show the final closes of closed ended funds raised USD 116 in 1H25. This exceeds the total raised in all of 2024, as well as matching the surge of inflows seen in 1H22, when the asset class benefited from the anticipation of the US Inflation Reduction Act and earlier Infrastructure Investment and Job act. The fact that the fundraising market has managed to match this pace, despite a more challenging monetary and geopolitical backdrop, is testament to investors’ ambitions for greater exposure to the asset class.

White papersKeep calm and carry on: Infrastructure and the first 100 days of Trump
In our 2025 infrastructure outlook, we argued that the macro backdrop is positive for private infrastructure, and that the 2025 edition of our report is the most bullish one we have written in the last three years. That positive sentiment may feel off the mark after the first few months of 2025, especially with volatility across the global markets due to uncertain policies under the new Trump presidency.
