Stafford Capital Partners is delighted to confirm that following interim closes this month, Stafford Infrastructure Secondaries Fund V (SISF V) has now accepted total commitments of over EUR 400 million from 13 high-quality institutional investors. This includes strong participation from pension funds and insurance groups with the current investor base coming from Germany, Switzerland, France, the US and Japan. Market confidence and depth is illustrated by a re-up rate of over 50% to date.
Final closing of the Fund is scheduled for July 2025.
To date, SISF V has deployed over EUR 100 million across four deals, investing into 82 underlying assets at extremely attractive entry discounts, further showcasing the competitive entry points infrastructure secondaries offer to new investors.
The underlying investments are dominated by digital infrastructure at 36%, renewables at 32%, and social infrastructure at 15%, with utilities, heating, transport, and waste management making up the balance.
Commenting on the fundraising to date, William Greene, Stafford’s Infrastructure Managing Partner, said that strong deal flow and entry discounts would continue to attract global institutional investor interest into 2025.
“While the impact of the denominator effect has lessened over 2024, we are now seeing strong liquidity needs from investors heavily exposed into private equity and real estate, creating unprecedented infrastructure secondaries opportunities; Stafford, an early entrant into this market, is ideally placed to capitalize on them."
