Stafford Capital Partners Limited has achieved the first close of EUR153 million (US$180.47 million) for Stafford Infrastructure Secondaries Fund IV (SISF IV), its fourth infrastructure fund.

SISF IV builds on Stafford’s 6 years of infrastructure investments and is a continuation of the group’s strategy of acquiring secondary positions in existing infrastructure funds with a focus on accessing high-quality core infrastructure assets. The first close welcomes 8 institutional investors across Europe and the US.

Stafford Infrastructure now has over USD1 billion in AUM, with exposure to approximately 300 global infrastructure assets primarily located in OECD countries across a diversified sector base.
