In this episode, Infrastructure Investor editor-in-chief Bruno Alves sits down with Americas editor Zak Bentley to talk about the record fundraising year the asset class is having for unlisted, closed-end structures.

With $200 billion raised during the first nine months of the year – and a further $30 billion added to that since we published our fundraising report – 2025 has handily surpassed the heady years of 2021-22. What’s more, with one quarter to go, expect fundraising to climb to hitherto unimaginable heights.

Our discussion, then, hinges on how we got to this extraordinary moment for the asset class, what’s behind the headline figures, the continuing importance of time on the road in shaping the market, what fundraising in future years could look like, LP appetite and more.
