Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia: BlackRock Real Assets has raised $1.67bn for its inaugural global infrastructure debt strategy to finance data centers, toll roads, wind energy, and other infrastructure projects around the world.
BlackRock wrapped up its Global Infrastructure Debt (GID) Fund at more than three times its initial goal, the New York firm said. The total amount raised includes $150 million in capital for co-investment deals.
The fund has seen commitments from over 20 institutional investors, including leading global insurance companies, public and private pension funds, and family offices, from the United States, Canada, Japan, and Korea, representing more than three times the initial fundraising target.

Today, the GID team manages US$16.6 billion in global client commitments, which represents approximately one-quarter of BlackRock Real Assets' total client commitments.
