BlackRock Real Assets has raised €1.4bn for Global Infrastructure Solutions 4 (GIS 4), its latest private infrastructure equity fund.

The manager said BlackRock Infrastructure Solutions, its infrastructure multi-manager investment arm, has closed GIS 4 after receiving capital commitments from institutional investors across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific.

GIS 4 primarily targets brownfield infrastructure investments in â€�developed markets benefitting from secular, long-term trends such as digitalisation, decarbonisation, and decentralisationâ€�, BlackRock said.

The manager said the fund has already committed close to half of its capital into investments.

Serge Lauper, the global head of BlackRock Infrastructure Solutions, said: “We are delighted to have reached a successful final close for our flagship multi-manager infrastructure fund.

�We believe this result reflects strong investor demand for increasing their infrastructure allocations to quality portfolios, especially given the attractive characteristics of the asset class and alignment with long-term sustainability objectives.�
