About This Fund
ISQ Growth Markets Infrastructure Fund II is I Squared Capital's second vehicle dedicated to mid-market infrastructure in emerging economies, targeting a total raise of $3 billion. The fund is the successor to its predecessor vehicle, which closed at approximately $2 billion, and was officially launched with a data room opening in mid-2024. I Squared Capital, founded in 2012, manages over $50 billion in assets and operates across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia, making it one of the most geographically diversified infrastructure managers globally.
The fund's investment strategy targets mid-market infrastructure assets in sectors experiencing the highest demand in emerging markets: renewable energy and energy transition, digital infrastructure and connectivity, transportation and urban mobility, and industrial decarbonization. I Squared Capital focuses on companies that benefit from structural tailwinds in home markets with developing regulatory frameworks, deploying capital across 12–18 investments with typical equity checks of $150–300 million. Development finance institutions serve as cornerstone investors, with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) each committing approximately $50 million.
With a target close by March 2026 and confirmed commitments from multilateral LPs, the fund targets mid-teens returns. I Squared Capital's track record in growth markets includes exits and ongoing investments in telecoms towers, power generation, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure platforms across Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia, demonstrating consistent execution in challenging operating environments.
