Brookfield Secures $1B Infra Fund to Back Mid-Market Companies
Brookfield Asset Management has closed its debut Brookfield Infrastructure Structured Solutions Fund (BISS), hitting its goal with about $1 billion in committed capital.
The Brookfield middle-market infrastructure fund seeks to leverage the firm’s global infrastructure expertise, collaborating with sponsors, developers, and corporations. It will allocate capital to both structured and common equity, targeting sectors where Brookfield already has a strong operational presence.
The fund has started investing, securing a minority stake in Strategic Venue Partners—a Tiger Infrastructure Partners portfolio company focused on in-building wireless infrastructure—and pledging up to $1 billion to Origis Energy, a U.S. renewable energy developer, in partnership with Antin Infrastructure Partners.
Brookfield has shown strong support for the fund, with BAM-affiliated entities providing $150 million of its committed capital. The global alternative asset manager currently manages over $1 trillion in assets, spanning renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit.
“The Brookfield Infrastructure Structured Solutions Fund blends the attributes of infrastructure debt and infrastructure equity, both of which are areas where Brookfield manages the world’s largest funds, ” said Hadley Peer Marshall, managing partner and co-head of BAM’s infrastructure debt and structured solutions businesses.
The BISS closing aligns with a surge of infrastructure fundraising in early 2025. Fengate Asset Management finalized its Fengate Infrastructure Fund IV at $1.1 billion, StepStone Group secured over $1.4 billion for its infrastructure co-investment fund and related accounts, and Ridgewood Infrastructure gathered $1.2 billion for its second fund, focused on water, energy, transportation, and utilities. Meanwhile, Novacap and Harrison Street launched their first digital infrastructure funds, raising $1.1 billion and $600 million, respectively.
