About

InfraRed Capital Partners is an international infrastructure asset manager with over 25 years of experience in the infrastructure asset class. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the firm invests in infrastructure critical to the functioning of societies and economies. This includes digital, energy, social infrastructure, transport, and utilities sectors. The company aims to achieve compelling investment returns from essential infrastructure assets that contribute to thriving communities, both presently and for future generations.

The firm's involvement in infrastructure began in the late 1990s, pioneering the development and upgrade of the UK's social and transport infrastructure under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. As other countries adopted PPP, InfraRed Capital Partners expanded internationally, investing in similar assets across Europe, Australasia, and North America. These early projects established standards for delivering projects and actively managing risk. Over two decades, the company has consistently sought to create and enhance value, adapting its approach to align with macro trends driven by technological advancements, such as its first investment in wind farms in 2009 for energy transition, and in fibre in 2020 for societal digitalisation.

InfraRed Capital Partners operates with a focus on value creation, a mindset stemming from its heritage in early-stage value creation. The firm's experienced team actively seeks to create, enhance, and preserve value throughout the asset lifecycle, employing a proactive approach to asset creation and management. Long-term investing is central to its strategy, recognising that its assets form the backbone of economies and societies, influencing millions globally. As of December 2025, the firm manages approximately $13 billion USD in equity, having invested in over 350 essential infrastructure assets across 15 countries and currently managing more than 240 assets across 18 countries through its value-add and core strategies. The company has also realised over 90 investments.

The company possesses deep experience in social infrastructure, with its first investment in this sector dating back over 25 years. InfraRed Capital Partners applies developed learnings to an active management approach, aligning societal needs for reliable core infrastructure with investor requirements. The firm's social infrastructure portfolio includes critical community assets such as hospitals, schools, roads, and rail networks. InfraRed Capital Partners made its first social infrastructure investment in 2003 and has since completed over 171 investments with 68 disposals. As of March 31, 2025, the firm manages over £1.9 billion of social infrastructure assets. Within its broader social infrastructure activities, the company has experience with student accommodation, as evidenced by its exit from the Curtin University Student Accommodation project. This demonstrates the firm's capability in managing assets that cater to community and educational needs, which can include purpose-built student accommodation.

InfraRed Capital Partners is part of SLC Management, the institutional alternatives and traditional asset management business of Sun Life. This partnership, formed through a majority equity acquisition by Sun Life in 2020, strengthened the InfraRed platform and provided capital for strategic expansion, including its North American presence. The firm maintains operational autonomy despite the acquisition. InfraRed Capital Partners is committed to high standards of corporate governance, with policies and systems ensuring effective oversight and control. The board leads and controls the company, with overall authority for its management and business conduct, aiming to promote long-term success and deliver sustainable value. InfraRed Capital Partners Limited is a limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 03364976 and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
