Asset manager Brookfield is expected to exceed a $25bn (€23.4bn) fundraising target for its fifth global infrastructure fund, according to an investor.
Ventura County Employees’ Retirement Association (VCERA) disclosed in a meeting document that it has approved a $40m commitment to Brookfield Infrastructure Fund (BIF) V, a fund expected to be oversubscribed.
Brookfield raised $20bn for BIF IV which closed in February 2020, exceeding its original $17bn fundraising target as a result of strong investor demand.
VCERA said Brookfield is expected to make a co-investment contribution amounting to 25% of the total capital raised by the latest fund.
BIF V will seek deals ranging from $400m to $1bn that can generate a 10% net internal rate of return.
The manager is expected to allocate 49% of the fund to North America, 25% to Europe, 17% to the Asia Pacific and 9% to South America as it targets assets like midstream energy, renewable energy, data and utilities and transportation.
