Private Equity
We provide partnership capital to support private equity sponsors globally.

We also provide capital solutions at the company level, including equity co-investment, structured capital, direct secondaries, single asset continuation vehicles and credit.
Private Credit
We have the flexibility to invest across the capital structure to a broad range of private equity-backed companies and corporate borrowers, across industries globally. We focus on mid-market companies that generate $10 million to $150 million of EBITDA, with the ability to sole underwrite and participate in club or syndicated transactions.
Infrastructure
We focus on acquiring interests in mature infrastructure assets, targeting brownfield assets with core and core-plus risk profiles. We focus on mid-market transactions that typically involve equity investments of between $100 and $400 million, with an emphasis on investments where we establish control or joint control ownership. We seek to become a value-added partner to unlock a range of opportunities across the following targeted sub-sectors: renewables/energy transition, communications, and transportation and other contracted infrastructure, in developed markets.
Partnerships are key to our success at Northleaf. We believe our global relationships and solutions across multiple asset classes provide the ability for us to gain unique insights into investment opportunities that benefit our investors.
