EQT Infrastructure VI Surpasses EUR 21 Billion Commitment Target with Global Investor Support

(IN BRIEF) EQT Infrastructure VI, EQT’s flagship infrastructure fund, has successfully closed at EUR 21.5 billion in total commitments, including EUR 21.3 billion in fee-generating assets, exceeding its EUR 20 billion target and marking a 35 percent growth over its predecessor. With a strong global investor base that includes pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, insurance companies, and an increasing share of private wealth, the fund builds on a 15-year track record in infrastructure investments across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. It targets investments in sectors such as digital infrastructure, energy, decarbonization, resource efficiency, and social infrastructure. Key figures at EQT emphasized the fund’s promising start, with 12 thematic investments either closed or signed, and outlined ongoing efforts to scale their global infrastructure platform. With several major investments already completed and further acquisitions in negotiation, EQT Infrastructure VI is set to deliver attractive returns while supporting the long-term transition to a decarbonized and digitalized economy.

(PRESS RELEASE) STOCKHOLM, 28-Mar-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — EQT is proud to announce the closing of its flagship infrastructure fund, EQT Infrastructure VI, which has achieved EUR 21.5 billion in total commitments, including EUR 21.3 billion in fee-generating assets under management—surpassing its EUR 20 billion target and hitting the hard-cap. This represents a 35 percent increase compared to the previous fund, a growth driven by robust backing from both returning and new investors.

Building on over 15 years of success with EQT Value-Add Infrastructure, which has invested in companies providing essential services across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific, the new fund targets infrastructure businesses with stable or growing demand, predictable cash flows, and solid, asset-backed business models. It will pursue investment opportunities in high-potential sectors such as digital infrastructure, energy generation, storage and distribution, decarbonization and electrification of industrial processes and transport, resource efficiency, circularity, and social infrastructure.

The commitments came from a broad, diversified group of global institutional investors, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, insurance companies, and an increased share from the private wealth segment. Investors from the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and the Nordics have all contributed to the fund’s success.

Masoud Homayoun, Head of Infrastructure at EQT, stated, “EQT Infrastructure VI has had a great start with 12 highly thematic investments closed or signed. Our sector teams are continuing to deliver on a healthy investment pipeline and we are excited by the large opportunity set underpinned by global, long-term trends such as the transition to a decarbonized and circular economy and the digitalization of society. Our focus remains on creating lasting value in our portfolio and delivering outstanding performance for our clients.”

Lennart Blecher, Head of Real Assets at EQT, added, “Since its inception in 2008, EQT Infrastructure has grown at pace and today, we have a 130-strong team and three investment strategies: Value-Add, Active Core, and the recently launched Transition Infrastructure strategy. We are thrilled to announce the final close of EQT Infrastructure VI, our latest flagship fund within EQT’s EUR 75 billion global infrastructure business, and look forward to continuing to scale the platform.”

Suzanne Donohoe, Chief Commercial Officer at EQT, commented, “We would like to thank our longstanding clients, whose commitments represented around 70% of this fundraise, for their continued confidence in the EQT Value-Add Infrastructure strategy. We are also grateful for our new partners’ trust in EQT and we aim to continue to deliver attractive returns through economic cycles.”

EQT Infrastructure VI is already 45-50 percent committed based on actual fund size, with ten investments completed across key markets. These include projects in Europe, such as Constellation Cold Logistics, OX2, Statera, and Universidad Europea; a series of new partnerships in the US with EdgeConnex, Arcwood Environmental (formerly Heritage Environmental Services), Lazer Logistics, and Madison Energy Infrastructure; as well as investments in Asia Pacific with Rena (formerly KJ Environment) and SK Shieldus. The fund is also in exclusive negotiations to acquire a majority stake in Eutelsat Group’s ground station infrastructure business in Europe and to form a joint venture with T-Mobile for the acquisition of Lumos in the US.
