Cordiant is a specialist global infrastructure and real assets manager, with a sector-led approach. We provide tailored growth capital solutions to promising mid-sized companies in Europe, North America and select global markets. We focus on supporting the capital needs of the next generation of infrastructure, investing responsibly to ensure the long-term benefits of these critical assets are attained.
As sector specialists, we seek to provide our investors with superior risk adjusted returns from differentiated sources. 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.
We specialise in the next generation of infrastructure and real assets – what we call ‘Infrastructure 2.0’. Our focus is on three key sectors: digital infrastructure, energy transition infrastructure, and agriculture value chain. These sectors are all characterised by secular growth tailwinds, technological dynamism, and sustainability. These sectors require specialist expertise to fully unlock their opportunities.
Prioritising knowledge, insight and the ability to invest across the capital structure, we follow a ‘Build and Grow’ investment philosophy. Drawing on decades of operating and investing experience, we target dynamic sectors and identify promising platforms with significant growth potential, providing capital preservation and value enhancement.
With a mix of managed, sector-specific funds, Cordiant offers value-add, core+ and core strategies in private equity and direct lending. We seek to provide our investors with investment opportunities that complement portfolios, deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns and grant access to access to new asset classes that define the future of infrastructure.
Sector-Focused Approach
We invest in three key sectors: digital infrastructure, energy transition infrastructure, and agriculture value chain. These sectors sit at the intersection of long-term growth trends, technological advancements, societal demands, and sustainability imperatives. As critical pillars of modern society, hosting critical infrastructure and real assets, these sectors require significant capital to drive and grow the middle market, and ensure global demands are met.
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. We develop innovative, tailored financing solutions, designed to address real-world business and societal requirements. This strategic alignment allows us to meet both the investment needs of our focus sectors and delivering attractive returns while contributing to broader societal goals.
With senior executives from industry and seasoned investors, we are uniquely positioned to access proprietary or privileged investment opportunities. Our approach offers investors a compelling, differentiated source of risk-adjusted returns within these high-growth sectors.
