Senior staff members will own a growing ‘material equity stake’ in the business.

The real estate investor’s debut digital infrastructure fund, in partnership with Digital Bridge, is on track to beat its fundraising target.

The EIB is currently considering an injection of up to €100m into the vehicle, which has a €700m hard-cap.

The firm is looking to capitalise on a series of expected privatisations across the continent, as well as opportunistic investments in Europe.

The $710m vehicle will be the largest of its type in the country, according to the US energy investor, which says it has a ‘significant’ project pipeline ready for deployment.

The UK-based manager plans to build a portfolio Down Under after opening a hub in the city and is also looking to expand in Europe, with both separate from its London-listed fund.

Steven Sonnenstein – who has closed more than $1.4bn in equity commitments – is leaving the Canadian pension on Friday after nearly six years.

The Singapore-based real estate investment manager has made its first senior hire to lead its infrastructure investing activities in Asia.

The £400m fund is expected to ‘act as a catalyst’ for charging infrastructure, attendees at the Renewable Energy Forum, part of our Global Summit, in Berlin, were told.

Vittorio Lacagnina will join the Swiss firm in June after spending more than three years at the Australian fund manager and establishing its NY office.
