Arroyo Energy Investors Fund IV is the fourth flagship infrastructure vehicle of Arroyo Energy Investment Partners, a Houston-based independent investment manager dedicated exclusively to power and energy infrastructure assets. The fund held its final close in July 2025, securing over $1 billion in equity commitments from a diversified institutional investor base spanning endowments, family offices, foundations, fund-of-funds, insurance companies, and public and private pension funds, including the Fire & Police Pension Association of Colorado. Threadmark served as the fund's global placement agent. Fund IV continues Arroyo's long-standing thesis of investing in power and energy infrastructure assets in North America and Chile, targeting opportunities across distributed power generation, liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure, digital infrastructure for AI and hyperscale computing, dark fiber optic networks, and renewable energy platforms. The strategy focuses on acquiring controlling or significant minority positions in operating assets and development-stage platforms where Arroyo's deep sector expertise and hands-on operational involvement can create measurable value. Arroyo combines long-duration asset characteristics with active asset management to deliver risk-adjusted returns across power market cycles. Early Fund IV investments include Seaside LNG, an integrated shore-side liquefaction and LNG bunkering platform; Mesa Solutions, a distributed power generation business serving North American industrial and commercial customers; Cielo Digital Infrastructure, a portfolio of grid-connected project sites targeting data center development in the United States; and Fermaca Networks, a dark fiber optic network in late-stage development across the U.S.-Mexico corridor. These initial investments demonstrate Fund IV's multi-thematic exposure to the converging trends of power demand growth, AI infrastructure buildout, and energy transition across North American markets.

Asterion Industrial Infra Fund III is the third infrastructure fund raised by Asterion Industrial Partners, a Madrid-based investment firm specialising in mid-market infrastructure transactions across Western Europe. The fund completed its final close in September 2025 with EUR 3.4 billion in total commitments, surpassing its EUR 3.2 billion target and representing the largest fundraise in Asterion's history. The milestone was achieved within 18 months of the fund's registration with Spain's financial regulator, the CNMV—an exceptionally fast timeline in an environment where infrastructure fundraising processes frequently extend beyond two years. Additional co-investment commitments of approximately EUR 250 million were secured alongside the fund, bringing total capital for the Fund III strategy to EUR 3.65 billion. Asterion Industrial Infra Fund III targets mid-market infrastructure assets in telecommunications, energy, utilities, mobility, and digital infrastructure across Western Europe. The firm's investment approach focuses on acquiring and actively managing operating infrastructure businesses and assets where Asterion can create value through industrial transformation, operational optimisation, and strategic repositioning. Asterion's target market sits below the very large ticket sizes pursued by major global infrastructure funds, allowing the firm to access a less competitive segment of the European infrastructure market. Fund III attracted 68 investors from Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, with an 86 percent re-up rate from predecessor fund investors. The first close of Fund III reached EUR 1.5 billion in July 2024, representing approximately 50 percent of the target raised within five months of regulatory registration. Prior fund vintages have generated a strong track record of value creation across telecommunications infrastructure, energy services, and digital connectivity assets in Spain and across the broader European market. Fund III continues the firm's strategy of partnering with management teams in assets where industrial expertise and hands-on value creation can drive superior risk-adjusted returns over a typical infrastructure holding period.

The Digital Infrastructure Vehicle II ("DIV II") has successfully closed at approximately €1.6 billion, almost eight times larger than its predecessor fund. The Fund has attracted capital from global investors predominantly from Europe, US, Middle East and South Korea. It focuses on data centers, fiber networks and mobile access sites, and is targeting equity investments in the range of €150 to €250 million and will invest in 8-10 companies. The fund is located in Hamburg, Germany. In addition, DIV II is categorized as an Article 8+ fund and aims to have a minimum of 20% of its assets meet sustainable investment criteria. The fund also pledges to decrease its total greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon net-zero across its portfolio companies by the year 2040. The fund has achieved a GRESB 5-star rating, ranking 2nd out of 46 participating European PE infrastructure funds. Plans are underway for the next fund generation in the digital infrastructure sector, with a potential launch in 2025.

European Diversified Infrastructure Fund IV (EDIF IV) is the fourth flagship infrastructure fund in the EDIF series managed by Igneo Infrastructure Partners, the dedicated infrastructure investment platform of First Sentier Investors. Targeting a first close in 2026, EDIF IV aims to build upon the strong track record established by EDIF III, which reached its €5 billion hard cap and mobilized an additional €2.1 billion in co-investment capital. Igneo Infrastructure Partners is one of Europe's longest-established dedicated infrastructure managers, with deep expertise in mid-market sustainable economic infrastructure across energy, transportation, and digital sectors. EDIF IV focuses on mature, revenue-generating economic infrastructure assets across Europe, with emphasis on sustainable assets aligned with the energy transition and the modern digital economy. Target subsectors include energy distribution and transmission networks, transportation infrastructure including roads and ports, utility services, and telecommunications infrastructure such as fiber and telecom towers. The fund pursues a mid-market strategy targeting assets and platforms where Igneo's operational expertise and sustainability frameworks can generate measurable performance improvements and long-term value creation for institutional limited partners. The EDIF series has a two-decade investment history underpinning EDIF IV's fundraising. EDIF I (2009) was wound down delivering a 2.6x net equity multiple and returning €5 billion to investors across its lifecycle. EDIF III reached its €5 billion hard cap and deployed into high-quality European infrastructure businesses generating consistent distributions. The EDIF franchise has delivered strong outperformance across multiple economic cycles, positioning EDIF IV to benefit from both the established brand and accelerating institutional demand for European infrastructure at a time of significant energy transition investment.
