Meridiam has completed the closing of its €2.2 billion (US$2.6 billion) Europe Core Fund, a vehicle created to consolidate and support long-term ownership of 22 mature infrastructure assets across 10 European countries, including strong footprints in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Finland. These assets span critical sectors such as sustainable mobility, essential public services, and low-carbon solutions, and are typically held under extended concession agreements of up to 50 years, offering stable returns and resilient performance. The fund attracted strong interest from global institutional investors, with nearly 70 % of the capital coming from new limited partners, while the remainder chose to roll over their commitments, reaffirming confidence in Meridiam’s long-term infrastructure strategy. 

In parallel with this institutional close, Meridiam and Private Corner launched Meridiam Global Infrastructure Strategies, the company’s first dedicated retail infrastructure fund. Designed as an evergreen fund of funds, it gives individual investors access to a diversified, operational portfolio of high-quality infrastructure assets that were previously available mainly to large institutional investors. By seeding the strategy with cornerstone assets from the Europe Core Fund, this retail vehicle aims to provide everyday investors with exposure to long-term, yield-generating infrastructure investments, benefiting from diversification and the stability characteristic of deployed, operating assets.
