Partners Group, a global private markets firm, has closed its third direct infrastructure program with total client commitments totaling $8.5 billion. The program is made up of $6.4 billion raised through its fund with $2.1 billion committed from other private market programs investing with the fund.

The firm’s investment focuses on infrastructure assets and firms that reflect Partners’ thematic investment convictions. Investments in 2021 included EOLO, an Italian fixed wireless access broadband provider, GREN, a district heating platform in the Baltics, Unity Digital, a wireless telecommunications infrastructure platform in the Philippines, and more.

The rest of the investment program will be used on behalf of investors. The investments will focus on areas related to digitization & automation, new living, and decarbonization & sustainability.

“We are thankful for the continued trust our clients have placed in our transformational investing strategy,” stated Juri Jenkner, partner, head private infrastructure. “We believe Partners Group is in a unique position to source and build the next generation of infrastructure on our clients’ behalf due to our proprietary thematic investment approach and platform expansion capabilities.”
