InfraVia Closes €8B Infrastructure Fund

InfraVia Capital Partners has successfully concluded fundraising for its latest infrastructure vehicle, InfraVia European Fund VI, securing a substantial €8 billion. This figure represents a significant leap from its predecessor, surpassing the initial target of €7 billion and marking a 60% expansion compared to the €5 billion raised for Fund V. The swift 18-month fundraising period, which saw the fund reach its hard cap and become substantially oversubscribed, underscores a robust global investor appetite for well-positioned European infrastructure assets.

The firm's strategic focus for Fund VI centers on mid-market European enterprises crucial for the continent's long-term economic strength and resilience. Key investment themes include the accelerating energy transition, the expansion of digital connectivity, modernization of mobility networks, and the development of social infrastructure. InfraVia's approach prioritizes value creation through buy-and-build initiatives, deep integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, strategic organizational enhancement, and digital transformation to cultivate leading European platforms.

Demonstrating immediate deployment capabilities, the fund has already allocated over €1 billion across three significant initial investments. In the digital infrastructure realm, OpCore, a hyperscale data center venture established in collaboration with Iliad, highlights InfraVia's commitment to this rapidly growing sector. The maritime infrastructure group LDA signals an expansion within transportation and logistics, while Prosolia Energy, an independent producer focused on decarbonization solutions, reinforces the fund's dedication to the energy transition. These early moves reflect a clear strategy to capitalize on critical infrastructure needs.

The investor base for InfraVia European Fund VI is notably diverse and geographically widespread. The €8 billion commitment attracted over 80 new limited partners, joining existing backers. A significant portion, exceeding half of the total capital, originated from international investors across the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East, showcasing the global appeal of InfraVia's strategy. The limited partner composition includes a mix of insurance companies, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and private banks, reflecting broad institutional confidence.

This latest fundraise brings InfraVia Capital Partners' total capital raised across its platform to an impressive €21 billion. The firm has cultivated relationships with over 200 institutional investors globally, consistently growing its flagship infrastructure fund series. This success is a testament to their established track record and consistent execution in the European mid-market infrastructure space, a sector experiencing heightened interest due to its defensive qualities and role in economic development.

Vincent Levita, Founder and CEO of InfraVia Capital Partners, commented on the achievement, stating, "We are extremely proud of this fundraising that confirms the resilience of European infrastructure. The strong demand from global investors validates our mid-market approach and our focus on sectors that are essential to Europe's future competitiveness."
