Investment firm Ardian has raised $20 billion for its latest infrastructure platform. The fund, dubbed Ardian Infrastructure Fund VI (AIF VI), reached its $13.5bn hard cap, raising a further $6.5bn in co-investments, making it 90 percent larger than its predecessor.
“Data infrastructure is now critical to Europe’s competitiveness,” said Mathias Burghardt, EVP and head of infrastructure at Ardian. “We are investing in the backbone of the energy transition - clean power and digital capacity - which together enable sustainable economic growth.”
“The scale and speed of this raise highlight both Ardian’s leadership in the space and the resilience of European infrastructure as an asset class,” said Jan Philip Schmitz, head of investor relations at Ardian. “We’re seeing significant cross-border capital flow into European energy and digital platforms, as investors seek exposure to essential, decarbonised infrastructure.”
