Markets Infrastructure Partners

Markets Infrastructure Partners advises institutional clients — including pension plans, foundations, insurance companies, corporations and sovereign wealth funds — and does not serve individual retail clients. The firm provides investment advisory services for institutional mandates, plans to offer discretionary advisory services to pooled vehicles in the future, and reports approximately $535 million in regulatory assets under management on a non‑discretionary basis.

The firm pursues control and non‑control investments in companies that provide global financial markets infrastructure, using a variety of structures (equity, debt, convertible instruments, PIPEs and mezzanine) and often concentrating portfolios so a client may be advised with respect to only a few or even a single portfolio company. It typically takes an active role post‑closing — including board participation where practicable — and supplements internal resources with industry advisors and operating partners to support due diligence and ongoing oversight.

What is atypical for a manager in this category is the predominance of non‑discretionary AUM and the presence of sovereign wealth funds among its clients, indicating institutional investors retain final decision authority while relying on the firm’s specialist capabilities. The combination of a narrow sector focus on market infrastructure, willingness to accept concentrated mandates, and use of compensated external operating partners for origination and portfolio support further differentiates its operating model from more broadly diversified institutional managers.
