Antin Infrastructure Partners, a globally recognized infrastructure investment firm, has announced the successful closing of its Flagship Fund V, reaching €10.2 billion ($10.7 billion). This achievement positions it as the largest infrastructure fund anticipated to finalize globally in 2024. The fund’s size significantly surpasses its predecessor, Flagship Fund IV, which closed at €6.5 billion in 2020, marking an increase of over 50%. This successful fundraise highlights the strong confidence investors have in Antin Partners amidst a challenging fundraising landscape.
Flagship Fund V attracted robust support from both existing investors, boasting a re-up rate exceeding 90%, and a diverse group of over 120 new investors. This expansion has broadened Antin Partners’ investor base, with notable growth in commitments from North America, which increased nearly fivefold compared to the previous flagship fund. Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America also demonstrated significantly increased commitments, underscoring the global appeal of Antin Partners’ investment strategy.
Alain Rauscher, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Antin Partners, commented on this milestone: “Exceeding our target for Flagship Fund V in today’s demanding fundraising environment is a significant accomplishment. It reflects the deep trust our investors place in our specialized investment strategy and our team’s expertise. We deeply appreciate their continued partnership and are eager to deploy this new capital into essential businesses that not only support communities but also generate long-term value and contribute to a more resilient society.”
Building on a 17-year track record of successful value-added infrastructure investments, Flagship Fund V will focus on key sectors across Europe and North America, including energy and environment, digital infrastructure, transportation, and social infrastructure. Demonstrating swift deployment, approximately 40% of the fund’s capital has already been invested in five companies: Blue Elephant Energy, Consilium Safety, Opdenergy, Portakabin, and Proxima. Antin Partners also reports a strong pipeline of prospective investment opportunities, indicating continued growth and activity.
Evercore Private Funds Group served as the global placement agent for the fundraise, while Kirkland & Ellis provided legal counsel to Antin Partners.
