– Actis has completed fundraising for its second Actis Long Life Infrastructure Fund (ALLIF2), securing US$1.7 billion in commitments.
– The fund targets brownfield infrastructure assets in growth markets across Asia, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
– Focuses on operational enhancements rather than heavy capital expenditure to deliver predictable, long-term income with moderate leverage.
– Core sectors include renewable energy, electricity transmission and distribution, district cooling, toll roads, and digital infrastructure.
– ALLIF2 has already deployed nearly 50% of the fund and has an actionable pipeline exceeding US$2 billion.
– In March 2025, ALLIF2 acquired a 100% stake in Stride Climate Investments, comprising 21 solar assets in India.
– In December 2024, the fund signed two deals to acquire electricity transmission assets in Brazil, expanding its Brazilian platform.
– These assets support the global energy transition, especially in Brazil, where 89% of electricity is generated from renewables.
– The fund received strong backing from existing and new investors, including pension funds, funds of funds, insurers, and sovereign wealth funds from Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East.
– ALLIF2 builds on the success of ALLIF1, which raised US$1.3 billion and closed in 2019.
– Fund assets benefit from long-term contracted revenues and downside protections such as availability-based contracts, inflation indexing, currency and interest rate protections.
– Actis Chairman Torbjorn Caesar emphasized the platform’s relevance, resilience, and its focus on real-world assets in fast-growing global regions.
– Head of Long Life Infrastructure Adrian Mucalov highlighted the strategy’s appeal in providing stable, downside-protected cash flows.
– Partner Neda Vakilian noted growing investor interest in globally diversified strategies amidst Western macroeconomic uncertainty.
– Since inception, Actis has raised over US$26 billion, primarily invested in low carbon energy, digital infrastructure, and real estate.
