Blackstone Strategic Partners Infrastructure IV

Blackstone Strategic Partners Infrastructure IV is a 2024-vintage infrastructure secondaries fund managed by Blackstone, focusing on acquiring mature core and core‑plus infrastructure assets. Launched in August 2023 and activated in July 2024, Fund IV seeks discounted opportunities that offer attractive yield, NAV appreciation, and capital gains. It has already raised approximately $5 billion by July 2025 (over target of $4 billion . The fund concentrates on core and core-plus operational infrastructure across energy transition, transportation, and digital assets , with an emphasis on North America and Western Europe, complemented by selective exposure to Asia and Latin America. By targeting mature assets poised for exit, Fund IV pursues “secondary‑like returns for core‑like risks,” leveraging Blackstone’s expertise in buying at discounts from over‑hauled NAVs. With a 12‑year term (plus up to four one-year extensions), Infrastructure IV is structured to deliver 14–16% net IRR , a performance range consistent with its predecessor’s ~16% achieved returns. Institutional backing has been strong—including commitments from Arkansas Teachers (~$100 M) and San Francisco Employees’ Retirement (~$75 M).
