London - Stafford Capital Partners (“Stafford”), today announced it has closed Stafford Infrastructure Secondaries Fund V (“SISF V”), representing over USD 1.1 billion for SISF V and associated vehicles. This takes Stafford's total infrastructure assets under management to USD 2.7 billion. This marks the largest infrastructure vehicle the firm has raised to date which Stafford believes further signals the growing Institutional appetite for infrastructure secondaries.
Building on Stafford’s pioneering track record in infrastructure secondaries since 2012, SISF V attracted a consortium of new investors alongside existing. The Fund consists of institutional investors across Europe (DACH region, UK and others), North America and Asia.
SISF V provides investors with differentiated access to high-quality infrastructure assets by acquiring secondaries sourced primarily through off-market transactions. The Fund follows a quantitative approach to its deal sourcing and portfolio construction, with no additional leverage, alongside a tightened approach to its sustainability targets.
As of December 2025, SISF V has committed over 35% in 13 positions and 115 underlying assets, with a weighted average entry discount of 20.4% and 1.27x and 1.40x Net TVPI for the EUR and USD vehicles, respectively, offering Investors access to immediate diversification and value uplift. The portfolio spans key infrastructure sectors including transport, digital infrastructure, energy transition, social infrastructure, and utilities. The firm expects to close several transactions currently in exclusivity in Q1 2026, taking the fund's overall deployment to ~50%.
Commenting Angus Whiteley, CEO of Stafford Capital Partners, said "The successful fundraise of our flagship Infrastructure secondaries strategy is a testament to the strong position of our Infrastructure team in providing differentiated opportunities for investors. As long-standing players in the Infrastructure secondaries market, we believe there is significant Investment opportunity to leverage as the market continues to mature for both LPs and GPs. We are grateful for our clients' ongoing support. "
William Greene, Infrastructure Managing Partner at Stafford, commented: “SISF V builds on our proven approach of sourcing off-market opportunities and structuring complex transactions to deliver value for our investors. In 2025, we saw record volumes of LP and GP-led secondaries with over 50% volume growth year on year. We are excited for this next phase of growth, and the opportunities it presents to our clients, as we continue to focus on our disciplined approach to portfolio construction and long-term value preservation through our tightened sustainability targets.”
