DIF Capital Partners has raised EUR 6.8 billion for its latest infrastructure funds.

The funds are the DIF Infrastructure VII and the DIF Core-Plus Infrastructure Fund III. The DIF VII targets infrastructure investments in the transportation, (renewable) energy, digital infrastructure and utilities sectors. CIF III targets focuses on a broad range of infrastructure sectors including digital infrastructure (specifically datacenters and fibre), energy transition as well as sustainable transportation. Both fund strategies target investments predominantly in Europe and North America.

To date, both funds have invested or committed to nine investments each, deploying around 50% of total commitments. For DIF VII this includes investments in Saur, a global water solutions provider, Fjord1, a Norwegian electric ferry concessions operator and Green Street Power Partners, a US distributed solar developer/IPP. For CIF III this includes investments in metrofibre, a German urban fibre roll-out platform, Tonaquint, a US datacenter platform and Rail First, an Australian rail leasing business.

Wim Blaasse, CEO at DIF Capital Partners, said,  “We are extremely grateful to our investors for their trust and support, and this successful fundraising reinforces DIF’s leading position in the infrastructure market. In addition, we are excited by the journey ahead as we team up with CVC, and accelerate the growth of our investment capabilities, our geographic reach, and lever the CVC network”.
