After a record year for infrastructure fundraising, what’s next on the horizon? 2025 marked a milestone for the infrastructure asset class as funds raised unprecedented levels of capital, reflecting strong investor confidence and appetite for long-duration, real-world assets. With capital commitments hitting new highs, the focus is now shifting to execution: - Can deal activity and deployment keep pace with record fundraising? - How will competition for quality assets evolve? - What does this mean for talent demands across the industry? For professionals and firms in infrastructure, this backdrop presents both opportunities and challenges. From sourcing and executing deals to building high-performing teams that can thrive in a more active market. If you’re thinking about how this fundraising momentum might shape hiring or career moves in 2026, it’s an exciting time to take stock and position yourself accordingly. #Infrastructure #Fundraising #PrivateMarkets #Talent #Investment #InfrastructureInvestment #LondonJobs #NewYorkJobs #FinancialServices

A recent Infrastructure Investor article highlights how artificial intelligence is transforming every stage of the value chain: from raising capital, to managing portfolios, to designing exit strategies.    What this means: • For fund managers: AI enables more targeted and scalable LP outreach, smarter deal sourcing, and streamlined due diligence. • For portfolio teams: AI helps predict risk, optimize operations, and enhance long-term value creation. • For exit planning: Predictive modelling supports data-driven decision-making on exit route and timing, helping to maximise returns.   At Metis Search, we believe the future of private markets will favour firms that can integrate AI as part of their core operating model. For both clients and candidates in alternatives, understanding and leveraging AI is no longer optional - it’s a strategic imperative.   If you’re navigating hiring, fundraising, or growth in alternatives and want to talk about how AI could shape the next phase of your business connect to a member of the team to have a confidential conversation. #AI #AlternativeInvestment #Infrastructure #Recruitment #ExecutiveSearch #FinancialServices #LondonJobs #NewYorkJobs
