Fundraising

The firm will invest 20% of the new vehicle outside Europe, strongly targeting the US, where it is exploring the possibility of raising a dedicated fund.

We look ahead to 2019 and, using data from 50 managers, break down the cost of different strategies, highlight sticky terms and show how fee leakage reveals costs beyond the gross-to-net IRR spread.

This will be a record year and 2019 could top it. As the market shifts up a gear, we consider the major themes impacting fundraising.

The vehicle, which is the first of its kind, will seek to invest across the EV infrastructure space, targeting low double-digit returns.

The firm’s second debt vehicle has exceeded its €700m target following commitments from European and Asian LPs.

Partners Group’s collected €2.2 billion for its Direct Infrastructure 2016 fund in February, alongside a further €800 million for separate accounts and other infrastructure vehicles.

The vehicle will deploy $15m-$40m per transaction.

The Austrian outfit has secured a first close of €190m from five investors, the proceeds of which have already been invested.

With 2019 threatening to crack the $100bn mark, we take a look at how the market will change and what could spoil the party.

The infrastructure debt manager aims to complete fundraising for its $3bn vehicle by the end of 2018 with a mixture of existing and new clients from Australia and overseas on board.
