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.
