European asset manager Eurazeo announced that its first infrastructure program has closed with €706 million in aggregate commitments from institutional investors across North America, EMEA, and France.
The final close surpasses the original €500 million target by over 40%, just 20 months after the initial closing,
The commitments, which include €663 million for the Eurazeo Transition Infrastructure Fund (ETIF), classified as Article 9 under the SFDR regulation, are specifically aimed at transitioning essential services delivered by infrastructure to a low-carbon economy.
The fund invests in transition assets across the energy, digital, clean transport, and environmental sectors.
Laurent Chatelin, Eurazeo Partner-Infrastructure, said, “The success of ETIF’s fundraising, exceeding the initial target by more than 40%, demonstrates the market’s growing appetite for diversified, sustainable infrastructure investment strategies that can deliver both financial performance and quantifiable ESG impact.”
ETIF has consistently committed capital throughout fundraising, building a portfolio of 6 transition infrastructure companies representing approximately 60% of the total capital raised.
