About This Fund
DIF Value-Add IV SCSp is the fourth fund in CVC DIF's Value-Add infrastructure series, structured as a Société en Commandite Spéciale under Luxembourg law. CVC DIF is the dedicated infrastructure investment platform of CVC Capital Partners, formed following CVC's acquisition of DIF Capital Partners in 2022. Based in Amsterdam with offices across Europe and Australia, CVC DIF manages over EUR 18 billion in infrastructure assets globally and has established a strong track record in both core and value-add European mid-market infrastructure. Fundraising for DIF Value-Add IV was launched in January 2025, with the final investments being made from its predecessor, Value-Add III (formerly Core Infrastructure Fund III, CIF III).
The DIF Value-Add series — previously known as the Core Infrastructure Fund (CIF) series — focuses on infrastructure companies and assets with strong competitive market positions that offer significant growth potential through "buy-and-build" strategies and operational improvements. The fund targets four thematic sectors that are at the forefront of Europe's energy and digital transition: digital infrastructure (fiber networks, towers, and data centers), energy transition (renewable energy, grid flexibility, and distributed energy resources), sustainable transport (mobility services, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and smart logistics), and healthcare infrastructure (diagnostic networks, life science services, and health-related social infrastructure). Unlike core infrastructure strategies focused on regulated, long-dated contracted assets, Value-Add targets companies where active management unlocks enterprise value through expansion, consolidation, and revenue growth.
The Value-Add series has grown consistently across three prior vintages: CIF I (2017, EUR 450 million, 13 investments, fully invested), CIF II (2019, EUR 1.01 billion, 12 investments), and CIF III / Value-Add III (2022, EUR 1.6 billion, 11 investments, currently investing). The systematic fund-over-fund size growth reflects strong LP re-up rates and CVC DIF's differentiated sourcing capabilities in the European mid-market. The integration with CVC Capital Partners has expanded the LP network and provided enhanced access to global institutional capital, supporting Value-Add IV's ambition to build on the series' existing European infrastructure franchise.
