HarbourVest is seeking to raise $1bn for its latest infrastructure, according to an investor’s meeting document.

The Ventura County Employees’ Retirement Association (VCERA) has disclosed making a $75m commitment to HarbourVest Infrastructure Opportunities Fund III, a fund expected to have a first close on 9 October.

The amount of capital expected at the first close is currently unknown.

Fund III is expected to make secondary and direct investments in a variety of infrastructure located in either North America or Western Europe as it targets renewable energy, transportation, utilities, telecommunications, batteries and conventional power sectors.
