Funding | 13 May 2025 | Actis LLP
Actis, known for its investments in growth markets, has successfully completed fundraising for its second Actis Long Life Infrastructure Fund (ALLIF2), securing US$1.7 billion in commitments. The fund's strategy, focusing on brownfield infrastructure assets, spans regions such as Asia, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. With emphasis on operational enhancements over heavy capital expenditure, ALLIF2 aims to provide investors with reliable, long-term income and moderate leverage. Already, half of the fund has been deployed, with investments such as a 100% stake in Stride Climate Investments in India and acquisitions in Brazil augmenting its portfolio. This follows the success of ALLIF1, which raised US$1.3 billion and closed in 2019, highlighting Actis’ robust track record in delivering solid returns while supporting global energy transitions.
