Meridiam announces the closing of its €2.2 billion Europe Core Fund and launches its first retail dedicated fund

Meridiam successfully closed its Meridiam Infrastructure Europe Core Fund, a €2.2 billion vehicle designed to support the long‑term ownership and ongoing management of its landmark European infrastructure assets. This closing marks a significant strategic milestone, strengthening the firm’s ability to steward essential, high‑performing assets over extended horizons – often reaching up to 50 years.

The vehicle brings together a portfolio of 22 high‑quality infrastructure assets, held by its historical flagship funds across 10 European countries including Germany, Italy, Spain, Finland a strong footprint in France, and some countries of operations of the EBRD. These assets span key sectors such as Sustainable Mobility, Critical Public Services, and Innovative Low‑Carbon Solutions. With long‑dated concession agreements and proven operational performance, the portfolio offers long‑term visibility and has consistently demonstrated resilient performance and stable returns.

This initiative is fully aligned with Meridiam’s established practice of providing regular liquidity windows to its investors engaged in 25-year structures.  The new vehicle provides a dual opportunity: offering existing investors the choice between attractive liquidity conditions or continued participation in the long‑term value creation of the portfolio, while giving new investors immediate access to a mature, diversified, and resilient portfolio with stable and predictable returns. The fund attracted strong demand from global institutional investors, with nearly 70% of commitments coming from new LPs. The remaining are existing LPs who chose to roll over and reaffirm their confidence in Meridiam’s long‑term strategy for an additional 20 years.

In parallel, Meridiam and Private Corner have launched Meridiam Global Infrastructure Strategies, Meridiam’s first fully retail dedicated evergreen fund of funds. This new product provides individual investors with access to a diversified, operational, and yield-generating infrastructure portfolio seeded with cornerstone assets from the Meridiam Infrastructure Europe Core Fund.

By structuring the strategy around this mature, high‑quality institutional portfolio, Meridiam enables retail investors to invest alongside leading global institutional investors, gaining exposure to assets that are typically accessible only to large professional investors. This new strategy enables private investors to benefit immediately from a deployed, resilient infrastructure portfolio while benefiting from the diversification and long‑term stability inherent to the asset class.
