Green tailwinds will power LP interest in infra credit
It has been a gloomy past 12 months for infra credit fundraising. But the longer-term outlook appears much brighter with the asset class ready to move from niche to mainstream as more investors spot the strategy’s performance potential and key role in financing the world’s climate ambitions.

Debt fund managers are capitalising on strong interest in the asset class. The top 30 firms listed in Infrastructure Investor’s latest debt fund ranking have raised more than $162 billion over the last five years, with more to come as investors turn to the safe, stable, long-term returns that infrastructure debt offers.
The key themes – and full debt fund manager ranking – are covered in the latest Infrastructure Investor Debt report.
The private infrastructure debt market has grown markedly since we first ranked the top 10 capital collectors in the space in 2019. Despite the challenges of a pandemic, the investment ecosystem has continued to thrive, and so we have widened our focus to include 30 firms.
Despite all 2020’s troubles, infrastructure debt has welcomed five new billion-dollar fundraisers. Ten new funds passed the billion-dollar fundraising mark over the past two years.
With low-for-long interest rates and a macroeconomic environment that continues to be challenged by covid-19, it is more than likely the sector will attract capital from investors who appreciate its resilience and strong financial structures. The third annual Infrastructure Investor Debt Report explores these and more.
Infrastructure debt has witnessed significant growth in recent years. So much so that we have added another five positions to our annual ranking of the top debt fundraisers to create the Infrastructure Debt 15. With growth comes maturity and scrutiny, as our special report on the sector reveals. And, as our contributors unanimously agree, there is still room for further expansion.
While infrastructure debt comes in many forms, finding the perfect combination of secured returns, a visible investment pipeline and a sustainable investment strategy remains at the heart of the market’s challenge.
