Brookfield Asset Management Inc. has announced that it held the final close on Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III (BIF III) with an aggregate of US$14 billion of equity commitments, creating a global infrastructure fund that invests in high-quality, core infrastructure assets on a value basis. BIF III marks the largest private fund raised by Brookfield and the largest private infrastructure fund ever raised in the industry. In the last 18 months, Brookfield has raised approximately US$27 billion across its flagship private fund strategies, including the close of its flagship real estate fund, Brookfield Strategic Real Estate Partners II at US$9 billion, and its flagship private equity fund, Brookfield Capital Partners IV at US$4 billion. All three funds surpassed their fundraising targets. Total capital commitments of BIF III exceed the original US$10 billion fundraising target, reflecting a robust investment pipeline and strong investor demand for the asset class. BIF III’s predecessor fund closed in 2013 with US$7 billion of total capital commitments.

Brookfield committed US$4 billion to the Fund, ensuring alignment of interests with other Fund investors. Brookfield’s commitment will be funded through Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. To date, the Fund has committed to invest over US$3 billion in assets consistent with the Fund’s investment strategy, including a portfolio of U.S. hydroelectric facilities, a portfolio of Brazilian electricity transmission projects, a leading Colombian power generation company, a portfolio of Peruvian toll roads and a U.S. water infrastructure project developer.
