The Dutch manager has split the fund into a sub-fund structure, targeting €750m for senior debt and €350m for junior debt.

The Swedish firm is more than halfway to its €1bn target and could seek further commitments from investors outside the Nordics.

The firm has raised an additional $2.5bn for its fourth flagship infrastructure fund and its maiden renewables vehicle, both of which are expected to reach final close in Q1 2021.

The firm’s maiden renewable energy vehicle was launched last year with a target of $1.25bn, and a second close is expected next month.

Macquarie has also committed 90% of the $5bn raised for its last North America-focused infrastructure fund, MIP IV, according to an LP document.

Rune Bro Róin, one of the five founders of the Danish renewables group, has not worked on new funds since the end of 2018.

The milestone means DIF’s Core Infrastructure Fund II has already raised the same amount its predecessor closed on in November 2017.

The fund has one asset under its belt after the $1.25bn acquisition of a US district heating business last year.

DIF Infrastructure VI, which was launched in November, is now 56% towards its €2.5bn target.

Daniel Zinic, who will be based in London and join the firm early next month, had assisted Stonepeak in raising its debut fund in 2012 while working at placement agent FIRSTavenue.
