Brookfield Targets $7 Billion for New Infrastructure Debt Fund

27 Feb 2025 CW Team

Brookfield Asset Management is aiming to raise at least $7 billion for its fourth infrastructure debt fund, expanding one of the largest strategies in the sector. The new fund will continue the firm’s approach of investing in both junior and senior infrastructure debt.

The firm’s previous infrastructure debt fund, which closed in November 2023 with over $6 billion in investor commitments, is now largely deployed, with a significant portion allocated to data and renewable energy assets. While Brookfield has not officially commented on its latest fundraising efforts, the firm noted during a recent earnings call that its infrastructure debt platform remains the largest of its kind. The new fund is expected to surpass its predecessor in scale.

Brookfield has been highly active in infrastructure investments. Recently, the firm agreed to acquire the U.S. onshore renewables business of National Grid Plc for $1.7 billion. Earlier this month, it also committed €20 billion ($20.9 billion) to develop data centers and AI infrastructure in France over the next five years.

With $202 billion in infrastructure assets under management globally, Brookfield continues to strengthen its influence in infrastructure debt markets. The latest fund is expected to capitalize on the rising demand for long-term financing in critical industries.
