Ballast Rock Real Estate Private Credit Fund is the debut private credit vehicle from Ballast Rock, a Charleston, South Carolina-based alternative investment manager focused on real estate and private market strategies for US accredited investors. Launched in April 2025, the fund represents Ballast Rock's entry into the direct real estate lending market, targeting short-duration, senior-secured credit positions in small and medium-scale real estate and solar development projects managed by the firm's network of vetted preferred developers. The fund accepts a minimum investment of $50,000 from US accredited investors and targets a maximum raise of $50 million. The fund operates across four primary lending strategies designed to deliver current income with capital protection through senior security interests. The first strategy, lot banking, involves acquiring parcels of land at or below market value from developers, with developers legally obligated to repurchase the parcels upon construction readiness. The second, Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) financing, provides short-term bridge capital to DST sponsors requiring liquidity. The third targets franchise location development, providing last-mile development capital to preferred franchise developers secured by the underlying real property. The fourth focuses on commercial solar development, providing growth capital to solar project sponsors. Each strategy is structured to maintain short hold periods of six to eighteen months per investment, generating current yield while limiting long-duration interest rate risk. The fund is managed by Max Jackson as portfolio manager, supported by Ballast Rock's existing real estate investment infrastructure and developer network. The firm also provides value-add services to borrowers, including access to competitive institutional bidding processes for select development projects. As a newly launched vehicle, the fund positions itself as a yield-oriented income vehicle for investors seeking private real estate credit exposure outside the public markets.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Green Credit Fund I (CI GCF I) is the inaugural infrastructure debt fund managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), a leading global specialist in energy infrastructure investments with over EUR 30 billion under management. Launched in February 2022 with EUR 320 million in seed commitments from sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, and pension funds, the fund reached its EUR 1 billion final close in August 2023 after exceeding its original fundraising target. CI GCF I is co-headed by CIP Partners Jakob Groot and Nicholas Blach Petersen, who lead the firm's Green Credit platform. The fund deploys private project finance debt with subordinated risk characteristics, supporting renewable energy and clean energy transition projects globally. Target asset classes include offshore wind, onshore wind, solar PV, biomass, battery storage, and transmission infrastructure. The strategy executes direct investments and risk-sharing transactions across Europe, North America, and selective Asia-Pacific jurisdictions, providing flexible capital solutions to energy developers at critical inflection points in the energy transition. The subordinated debt structure offers an attractive risk-return profile between senior infrastructure debt and infrastructure equity. As of March 2026, CI GCF I has committed over 100% of its capital across 12 diversified investments spanning multiple energy technologies, geographies, and investment structures. Notable recent transactions include an EUR 80 million platform financing facility for Elements Green's 13 GW renewable energy portfolio across the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Australia, and participation in TagEnergy's EUR 570 million green bond issuance. The successful deployment of CI GCF I has catalyzed the launch of its successor, Copenhagen Infrastructure Green Credit Fund II (GCF II), which reached a EUR 1.3 billion first close targeting an overall fundraise of EUR 2 billion.

INVL Renewable Energy Fund I (REFI), launched on 20 July 2021 by INVL Asset Management, is a closed‑end investment vehicle tailored to informed investors. Focused on developing and acquiring utility‑scale solar and wind projects, mainly in Poland and Romania, REFI aims to deliver attractive risk‑adjusted returns while supporting Europe’s clean‑energy transition. The fund invests in greenfield and brownfield projects of mid‑ to large‑scale size (approximately €20 m–€70 m each), structured via direct ownership or SPEs, and financed through a mix of equity and debt. Investments are backed by long‑term revenues such as Power Purchase Agreements and Contracts for Difference, ensuring predictable cash flows and asset value enhancement. By mid‑2025, REFI had raised about €73.9 million (through investor units and bond programmes) and built a development portfolio of roughly 389 MW—eight solar parks in Romania (356 MW) and 32 MW+ in Poland—with expected total project investment of over €250 million. Construction is slated for completion by end‑2027, and bond‑based refinancing and new issuance remain key tools for funding this growth trajectory.

Mirova Energy Transition 6 (MET6) is the sixth investment vehicle of Mirova, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers focused on sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy. The fund seeks to invest in proven clean‑energy technologies—including onshore and offshore wind, photovoltaics, hydropower, energy storage and efficiency solutions—while also supporting low‑carbon mobility and hydrogen infrastructure. With a target size of up to €2 billion, MET6 aims primarily at European infrastructure markets, but remains open to investments in other OECD countries, leveraging Mirova’s strong relationships with developers and its flexible investment approach of taking majority or minority stakes, and deploying equity or subordinated debt. The fund builds on Mirova’s prior energy‑transition funds and draws on a dedicated infrastructure team with decades of investments behind it. The strategy positions itself to help accelerate decarbonisation across the energy value‑chain by backing both project promoters and platform scale‑ups throughout full project life‑cycles. MET6 is aimed at institutional investors seeking both financial returns and positive environmental impact, offering a means to deploy capital into resilient energy transition infrastructure aligned with global net‑zero ambitions.
