Macquarie Asset Management has closed more than $8 billion for its latest Americas-focused unlisted infrastructure fund, Macquarie Infrastructure Partners VI (MIP VI). The capital raise includes $6.8 billion in fund commitments alongside $1.3 billion of closed and funded co-investment to date in MIP VI portfolio companies. 

Additional co-investment activity is expected to build on the roughly $8 billion of co-investments secured across the prior three MIP fund vintages. 

MIP VI maintains a consistent strategy with its predecessors, targeting high-quality infrastructure assets across transportation, digital infrastructure, utilities and energy, and waste management. Current portfolio companies include Diamond Infrastructure Solutions, SwyftFiber, TraPac Terminals, Montreal Metropolitan Airport, and Coastal Waste & Recycling. 

The fund attracted strong backing from Macquarie’s existing LP base, with more than 70% of commitments coming from returning investors. Notably, North American investors accounted for approximately 50% of total fund commitments — the highest regional allocation of any MIP vintage to date. 

“Our clients remain focused on allocating to infrastructure, due to the sector’s ability to deliver stable returns as well as provide inflation protection and portfolio diversification benefits,” said Karl Kuchel, CEO of Macquarie Infrastructure Partners. 

Macquarie Asset Management’s Real Assets platform now oversees approximately $209.9 billion across infrastructure, green investments, and natural assets strategies.
