Most developers think $100M+ capital raises are out of reach. The truth? Structured equity investors are actively deploying at that scale. What I keep hearing from developers: raising capital at this level feels like a no-man’s land ⚡ Too big for regional funds ⚡ Too complex for banks ⚡ Too specialized for traditional asset managers But the reality? Capital is moving. The right investors are leaning in on creative structures that don’t require control but still back ambitious infra growth. For operators aiming at the $100M+ check size, the gap may not be nearly as wide as it seems. #Infrastructure #Energy #CapitalMarkets #ProjectFinance #Investing

Clarifying Our Approach to Private Asset Allocation While most of my comments on LinkedIn rarely discuss Kinsted's investment platform, recent market positioning by other firms has prompted me to share some perspective on what truly differentiates approaches in the private asset space. At Kinsted, our private asset pools operate fundamentally differently from strategies focused primarily on semi-liquid investments. Developed for our own private clients, these pools have more recently been offered to other investors. Our approach allocates up to 60% to closed-end LP structures with minimum commitments ranging from $5-15 million USD. These aren't opportunistic allocations—they're core positions in asset classes that simply aren't conducive to evergreen structures due to their inherent illiquidity and long-term value creation timelines. This distinction matters. While others promote semi-liquid exposure as comprehensive private market access, we've spent six years building true institutional-grade private asset allocation. Our LP commitments provide access to investment opportunities difficult to access in a semi-liquid structure such as opportunistic credit, opportunistic real estate, legal opportunities, amongst others. As newer entrants position themselves as pioneers in this space, I felt it important to highlight that effective private asset allocation requires more than accessibility—it demands committed capital, institutional relationships, and structures designed for the realities of truly private investments. Happy to discuss our approach with partners seeking genuine private market exposure beyond what traditional semi-liquid vehicles can provide. #PrivateAssets #InstitutionalInvesting #AlternativeInvestments #PrivateMarkets Kinsted Wealth
