Private investments have weathered a few storms in recent years, with the next around the corner. The pending recession is rapidly nearing, leading investors look for their safest haven. Private equity fundraising has dropped dramatically in recent months, but there has yet to be a downturn for infrastructure.

The first half of this year has pushed fundraising records for infrastructure, which is undoubtedly something to celebrate. However, what will come of this once the next macroeconomic storm hits? Surrounded by uncertainty for the future of the market, it is certain that infrastructure will show great strength, but this will not come without weakness in areas. Will this be the last record fundraising effort until the economy recovers from the immanent downturn?
