Stafford Capital Partners (Stafford) has held the final close of Stafford Infrastructure Secondaries Fund IV (SISF IV) with the €731 million in commitments from 33 investors across 13 countries, making it the firm’s largest fund to date.
Alongside these commitments, Stafford raised an additional £100 milion managed account for geographically focussed infrastructure secondary transactions.
With 13 closed transactions and a further three in exclusivity, Stafford expects to have committed 75% of capital commitments to the fund in Q4 2022. Following the closing of this fund, Stafford now has $1.7 billion in infrastructure assets under management.
SISF IV is Stafford’s fourth dedicated infrastructure secondaries fund. It invests in existing core infrastructure funds predominantly in Europe, North America and Australasia through LP as well as GP-led secondaries.
The fund is classified as an Article 8 fund under the Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation. It actively targets energy transition assets while strongly limiting its fossil-fuel related exposure.
