About This Fund
The Eurazeo Transition Infrastructure Fund (ETIF) is a closed-ended infrastructure fund managed by Eurazeo, France's leading publicly listed investment group with approximately €39 billion in assets under management. The fund held its final close in July 2024 at €706 million in aggregate institutional commitments, exceeding its original €500 million target by more than 40% within just 20 months of its November 2022 first close. The European Investment Fund anchored the first close with a €75 million cornerstone commitment backed by the InvestEU guarantee mechanism, underscoring alignment with EU sustainable infrastructure objectives. Investor support came from a broad and diversified group of institutions across North America, EMEA, and France, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, asset managers, banks, and fund of funds.
ETIF pursues a SFDR Article 9 investment strategy focused on transitioning essential services delivered by infrastructure toward a low-carbon economy. The fund's thesis is built around two structural megatrends: the energy transition—comprising renewable energy, green hydrogen, energy efficiency and storage, industrial decarbonization, sustainable mobility, and circular economy infrastructure—and the digital transition, encompassing data centers, fiber networks, and digital infrastructure assets. Investments target European small and mid-cap infrastructure companies where Eurazeo can act as lead or co-lead equity investor and drive operational transformation aligned with sustainability objectives.
ETIF won the Infrastructure Fund of the Year at the Sustainable Investment Awards 2024, reflecting its positioning as a pioneer in European transition infrastructure. Portfolio companies include Ikaros Solar (Belgian rooftop solar developer), Electra (EV fast-charging operator), and TSE (agrivoltaic project-focused solar energy group). As of the final close, approximately 60% of committed capital had been deployed across six portfolio companies, with the fund already out of the J-curve. ETIF represents Eurazeo's first dedicated infrastructure fund and a structural expansion of the firm's real assets platform beyond traditional private equity, establishing a new sustainable infrastructure strategy within one of Europe's largest private markets asset managers.
