Cordiant is a specialist global mission-critical infrastructure and real assets manager. Cordiant invests where global demand is rising, with regional differences, and supply chains must scale regionally, requiring long-term capital to fund physical expansion. We focus on providing capital solutions to scalable mid-market operating platforms, centred on core infrastructure assets in Europe, North America and select global markets to ensure the long-term benefits of these critical assets are attained.

We seek to provide our investors with attractive, risk-adjusted returns across investment cycles. Cordiant has been partner-owned and partner-run since the firm’s relaunch in 2016, and we have exceeded mandated investment targets for our clients on all funds since.

Sector-Focused

Sector-Focused Approach

Cordiant operates at the intersection of global capacity expansion, sectoral transformation, and real economy capex cycles. We focus on select sectors globally which require enormous long-term capital expenditure, particularly in the mid-market, to fund physical expansion to meet global demands – driven by supply/demand imbalances, policy-led transformation mandates, security of supply priorities (food, energy, connectivity), technological modernisation and platform scale requirements.

We specialise in providing tailored growth capital solutions to mid-market platforms, actively investing to scale promising operating businesses underpinned by core infrastructure assets. Our teams are able to provide flexible structuring, allowing us to deploy meaningfully in both equity and credit solutions, optimising capital structures for growth.

Our teams are intentionally designed with strong industry expertise, and substantial financial experience. By combining deep operational knowledge with private capital experience, we take a hands-on approach to actively support and manage our portfolio companies. This strategic alignment allows us to meaningfully scale platforms in our sectors of focus for the long-term and deliver attractive returns while contributing to broader societal goals.
