NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield announced today that it has raised over $4 billion for the first closing of Brookfield Infrastructure Debt Fund IV (“BID IV” or the “Fund”), reflecting continued significant support from both existing and new investors.

The Fund targets high yield debt investments for infrastructure assets and businesses backed by regulated, contracted, or concession-based cash flows. Brookfield is a trusted partner of choice to borrowers given its extensive asset knowledge, relationships and solutions-focused financing structures in sectors where it has deep operational experience. In addition, the Fund provides investors the opportunity to diversify their exposure to infrastructure and private credit.

Hadley Peer Marshall, Co-Head of Brookfield’s Infrastructure Debt and Structured Solutions businesses, said: “We are grateful for the support of our existing and new institutional partners as we continue to grow our strategy. Borrowers are increasingly seeking alternative sources of capital that can provide flexible structures, speed of execution, and certainty of funding from knowledgeable lenders—needs that Brookfield is uniquely positioned to meet.”

Ian Simes, Co-Head of Brookfield’s Infrastructure Debt and Structured Solutions businesses, said: “Demand for capital to support infrastructure growth is substantial, creating strong opportunities to partner with leading companies and finance their infrastructure businesses. Brookfield has been at the forefront of this market, delivering tailored capital solutions and building a strong global pipeline.”

Brookfield’s Infrastructure Credit platform has been actively investing across its core sectors, including renewable power and data infrastructure, deploying over $4 billion of capital in 2024. Recent investments include a $750 million credit facility to Crusoe to support the growth and scaling of their AI factories and a $150 million credit facility to Qair Polska, a leading Polish renewable platform.

In 2023, the previous vintage of the Infrastructure Debt strategy (“BID III”), closed with $6 billion of capital commitments, making it the world’s largest private infrastructure debt fund at that time.
