Real estate, infrastructure and energy transition — across acquisitions, asset management, development, and the operating platforms that bring these strategies to life.

What We Cover

Where capital meets physical assets.

Real assets is a discipline that rewards depth. The skills required to underwrite a digital infrastructure platform are not the same as those needed to lead a fund's residential strategy, and the people who run an energy transition portfolio rarely come from the same talent pool as core infrastructure investors.

Our real assets practice spans real estate (equity and debt), infrastructure (core through value-add), and the rapidly expanding energy transition space — solar, storage, transmission, decarbonization and circular economy strategies. We work with both pure-play managers and multi-strategy platforms.
