UBS’s latest infrastructure insights report highlights a strong rebound in unlisted infrastructure fundraising in H1 2025, underpinned by capital concentration in mega funds and renewed institutional demand.

  • USD 116 billion was raised in the first half of 2025, surpassing the full-year total for 2024 and matching H1 2022’s pace—despite persistent monetary and geopolitical headwinds.

  • Just five mega funds accounted for 65% of inflows, reinforcing the trend of capital consolidation and raising access challenges for newer LPs.

  • Institutional target allocations continue to rise, with dry powder expected to grow as exits improve and capital is recycled.
