Fund Manager of the Year, Europe
DWS Infrastructure
The independent panel of judges on IJGlobal Investor Awards 2025 chose DWS Infrastructure to win the fund manager award for Europe with one admiring a “good submission with evidence on performance”.
Another of the judges said: “DWS has had demonstrable success in investing in the energy transaction in lower mid-market, providing access to capital where other funds are not participating.”
Yet another judge admired “good performance and fundraising in the year” alongside “interesting developments on the growth fund side”.
DWS Infrastructure’s innovation has combined structuring complexity, novel strategy development and navigation of transaction complexity.
To accelerate the acquisition of Grandi Stazioni Retail, DWS negotiated an equity bridge loan enabling the transaction to complete ahead of first close on PEIF IV.
The arrangement was testament to the loan provider’s confidence in a successful fundraise and secured an attractive first investment for the fund. The approach was validated by >9% cash yield distributed to investors in July 2025, well ahead of final close.
With its Sustainable Growth Infrastructure Fund (SGIF), DWS advanced a pioneering strategy to address the “missing middle” – targeted at scaling proven climate solutions from venture capital/private equity into Core+ infrastructure and widening access to sustainability aligned, higher return capital across its investor base.
The strategy has attracted existing and new investors, most notably among the high-growth family office segment.
DWS Infrastructure’s data centre platform strategy has exemplified the team’s ability to navigate transaction complexity and showcased its multi-channel origination capabilities.
With the April 2025 announcement of DWS acquiring 8 data centres from Colt via carve-out, the team secured an acquisition price materially below the 25-30x multiples currently seen in the market.
The acquisition further demonstrates deployment of capital across multiple fund vintages with 6 assets allocated to NorthC (PEIF II) and 2 to seed Stellanor Datacenters (PEIF IV).
The ambition with Stellanor is to replicate the success of NorthC, which has now acquired 22 data centres via M&A, with the new assets adding some 25MW of max power capacity to the current platform capacity of 55MW.
Fund Manager of the Year, Africa
African Infrastructure Investment Managers
African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM) was selected to win the fund manager award for activity across the continent, celebrated by one judge for having provided “good examples of broad fund management activity in difficult market”.
One of the judges said: “AIIM has given clear evidence of innovation and impact through the various funds resulting in significant successful ESG outcomes across the region.”
The judging comments were rounded off with one admiring “interesting deployment in challenging markets” and another adding: “They have done a lot in their more difficult markets over the course of the judging period.”
Following the restructure of the IDEAS Fund in 2024, AIIM launched a successful fundraising round for the ZAR28.4 billion ($1.6bn) permanent capital vehicle, which invests across Southern Africa.
As the largest and longest-running equity infrastructure fund in South Africa, IDEAS offers investors liquid access to a perpetual fund structure – a first in the local market.
The current fundraising round (as at the time of writing the submission) targets ZAR5.5 billion ($299m), with ZAR1.5 billion ($85m) already committed and an expected oversubscription by mid-2026.
AIIM also secured the mandate to manage the African Transition Acceleration Fund (ATAF) launched by US-based philanthropic investor Allied Climate Partners.
ATAF is a climate-focused blended finance vehicle, with $50 million in first-loss commitments secured toward a $200 million target. First close is expected in H2 2025.
It is among the first blended finance structures on the continent targeting equity investments to address the climate funding gap. To support this, AIIM has expanded its team by 8 – led by Lisa Pinsley, formerly a partner at Actis.
Over the judging period, AIIM closed new investments totalling more than $764 million across its mandates, delivered $74 million in exit and refinancing proceeds to investors, and secured $135 million in new capital – including the ATAF launch – to meet growing demand for climate-focused investments.
Asset Manager of the Year
Ancala
Ancala was voted by the independent panel of judges to win the asset manager award with one saying that the fund manager “has performed magnificently over the years and definitely deserves to be recognised for this achievement”.
The fund manager takes a proactive approach to asset management and is widely recognised for navigating challenging situations to capitalise on opportunities.
From its submission, one of the key developments from over the course of the judging period was to have catalysed the German smart meter rollout.
Ancala created the largest independent smart metering platform in Germany through the acquisition of Solandeo which was followed by snapping up Hausheld.
These companies serve 2 different segments of the market, municipalities and prosumers.
Ancala then merged these businesses to create greater synergies for sourcing and deploying meters, making it the first infra manager to invest in the sector which has prompted other managers to explore it in more detail.
It has also played a significant role in decarbonising district heating sites across Scotland.
Ancala sourced an opportunity for its portfolio firm Noventa, a decarbonised energy from wastewater company, to acquire and operate 3 district heating sites. It is applying this solution to decarbonise the heating these sites provide.
According to the submission: “Our proactive asset management model, backed by deep operational expertise through our asset management team and industry partners – former leaders of major infrastructure businesses – and close alignment with management teams, has driven transformational change across geographies and sectors.”
In addition to proactive support, Ancala has provided more than 45% of the initial investment capital in follow-on funding to portfolio companies, enabling significant value creation projects and acquisitions.
Since Ancala invested, its portfolio companies have achieved average revenue growth more than 70% and executed 17 bolt-on acquisitions.
Investor of the Year, Europe
Vauban Infrastructure Partners
The independent panel of judges chose Vauban IP to win the European award for investor of the year with one saying it achieved “solid performance during the course of the year”.
One of the judges added: “Vauban IP has registered strong performance in the core infra space across fundraising and deployment / asset management.”
Over the course of the judging period, Vauban strengthened its innovative approach to supporting clients and solving complex challenges.
According to the submission: “We continued to prioritise Core infrastructure assets with strong inflation linkage, leveraging revenue indexation and cost pass-throughs to shield portfolios from price volatility.
“In parallel, we enhanced interest rate risk management by proactively embedding fixed-rate structures or long-term hedging mechanisms into our new financings, notably in transactions such as Borealis Data Center and Proxiserve, delivering predictable cash flows to our investors.”
It deployed flexible capital structures in complex deals, such as the €606 million refinancing of Proxiserve and the multi-facility debt package for Borealis, introducing infrastructure-grade covenants, CAPEX lines, and permitted debt frameworks.
The submission continues: “On the fundraising front, the final close of CIF IV reflects strong investor appetite for our bespoke strategies. Our thematic focus on digitalisation, energy transition, mobility, and social infrastructure continues to deliver inflation-protected, yield-oriented opportunities across Europe.
“By combining disciplined portfolio construction, proactive risk mitigation, and adaptive structuring, Vauban has reaffirmed its role as a forward-thinking partner capable of delivering resilient, innovative infrastructure solutions in an increasingly complex global landscape.”
Investor of the Year, Middle East
AMEA Power
Dubai-Headquartered AMEA Power was chosen by the judging panel to win the investor award for the Middle East based on “a broad range of transactions in more complex markets”.
One of the judges said: “AMEA Power demonstrates strong evidence of having developed significantly strategic projects across a number of regions. These transactions demonstrate complexity of the investment and utilising development, investment and wider commercial skills to bring to operations.”
It was lauded for having achieved “good transaction delivery in emerging markets actoss the energy transition space” and for having “achieved a lot in the year with some very interesting transactions”.
AMEA Power is a developer, investor, owner and operator of renewable energy projects.
As one of the fastest-growing renewable energy companies in the region, AMEA Power has assembled a world-class team of industry experts to deliver projects across Africa, the Middle East, and emerging Asia.
With projects in 20 countries, a project pipeline of more than 6GW, and more than 2,600MW in operation and under construction, the company is rapidly expanding its investments in wind, solar, energy storage, and green hydrogen, demonstrating its long-term commitment to the global energy transition.
In May 2025, AMEA Power and Cox launched Water Alliance Ventures, a JV integrating AMEA’s renewable energy expertise with Cox’s water infrastructure capabilities.
This innovative partnership addresses interconnected water and energy demands, delivering holistic solutions for clients in resource-scarce regions.
AMEA Power’s flagship projects highlight technological innovation. In June 2025, the 500MW Amunet Wind Farm in Egypt – one of Africa’s largest – was commissioned.
In July 2025, a 300MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) expanded a 500MW Solar PV Plant in Aswan, Egypt, ensuring grid stability. In January 2025, AMEA Power secured two 300MWh BESS projects in South Africa’s BESIPPPP Bid Window 2.
A June 2025 MoU with Kyuden International accelerates green hydrogen projects, supporting decarbonisation. AMEA Power’s in-house expertise and ESG focus ensure efficient, sustainable project delivery, aligning with client and community needs, solidifying its role in the global energy transition.
Lender of the Year
CIBC Capital Markets
CIBC Capital Markets was chosen by the independent panel of judges to win the lender of the year award in the IJGlobal Investor Awards 2025.
One of the judges was won over by CIBC’s role on the GETEC refi, “a very impressive deal, and the CIBC team moved themselves from a participant to lead bank”.
Another of the judges said: “CIBC has demonstrated a good breadth of case studies across energy efficiency, renewables and storage, effectively demonstrating the organisation’s flexibility.”
For the GETEC deal, CIBC restructured a restrictive legacy financing arrangement, enabling greater flexibility and scalability.
By securing private investment grade ratings and opening access to both European and US institutional debt markets, CIBC empowered GETEC to pursue future growth and attract a broader investor base.
In the Baltyk II and III offshore wind projects, CIBC played a pivotal role as MLA and hedge counterparty, facilitating the financing of 2 concurrent large-scale renewable energy projects in Poland.
This enabled the projects to provide 1.4GWh of energy, help Poland meet its 2030 renewable targets, and avoid 1.8 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
For the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) and Net Zero Teesside (NZT) Power, CIBC pioneered the world’s first debt-financed carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) infrastructure.
Acting as MLA and hedge counterparty, CIBC structured and secured some £4 billion in financing, setting a global precedent for CCUS project funding and supporting the UK’s net zero ambitions.
According to the submission: “Across these cases, CIBC’s innovative approaches include designing bespoke, flexible financing solutions, enabling first-of-their-kind projects, and facilitating complex, cross-border transactions.
“These efforts have established CIBC as a leader in delivering value-added solutions for the evolving infrastructure and energy sectors.”
Placement Agent
Campbell Lutyens
Campbell Lutyens was chosen by the independent panel of judges to win the IJGlobal Investor Placement Agent of the Year Award for 2025.
They were won over by what one judge described as a “strong submission” from a “player at top of the field”.
Another judge added: “Campbell Lutyens achieved strong delivery across a variety of transactions, demonstrating depth across primaries, secondaries and continuation vehicles.”
The judging comments were rounded off with “Campbell Lutyens has had demonstrable success on fundraising across a variety of fundraising types, not only primary fundraising”.
However, given that CL slapped a “strictly confidential” tag on the entire submission entry, you will just have to take the judges’ word for it.
Financial Adviser
PwC
PwC was chosen by the APAC judging panel to win the financial advisory award with one judge admiring “some good case studies… not least BBGI take private”.
Another of the judges said: “PwC provided examples of case studies on complex transactions – wind-down, take private – which demonstrates the breadth of skills across M&A advisory, re-structuring in both the private and listed sector.”
PwC has pioneered new transaction structures to help clients navigate complex, first-of-a-kind challenges across a rapidly evolving infrastructure and energy sector.
It advised British Columbia Investment Management Corporation on its £1.1 billion take-private of BBGI – a landmark deal that broke open the public-to-private listed infrastructure market.
This transaction involved cross-border coordination across 5 regulatory regimes, significant public shareholder engagement and the design of a bespoke listed-fund acquisition strategy.
According to the submission: “Elsewhere, we have helped to transform and open up new investment sub-sectors – such as asset leasing – by creating an entirely new private equity narrative for Dawsongroup’s sale to KKR.
“In fast-growing and ever-changing segments like energy storage, mobility-as-a-service, energy trading, digital infrastructure and new nuclear, the PwC team has structured transactions that help clients balance long-term risk with innovation and scalability and help to drive growth capital into parts of the market previously seen as too complex or unproven.”
Financial Adviser, Middle East
Cranmore Partners
Cranmore Partners was chosen by the judges to win the Middle East financial advisory award based on what one described as “a strong submission on challenging projects”.
The firm navigates a diverse landscapes having tackled 61 mandates in the region in 2024-25 across sectors like green hydrogen, solar, water, telecom, social infrastructure, transport, and digital infrastructure.
This handsomely demonstrates Cranmore Partners’ position in the Middle East, empowering it to offer valuable insights across domains.
Cranmore guides clients through complex procurement and sell-side engagements, as evidenced by their work on KSA's gas-fired IPPs.
The firm's leadership in financial advisory is evident in their role as sole adviser on 8 landmark transactions in the Middle East region.
The submission states: “Our success in bringing projects like Taiba and Qassim Projects in KSA and PV3 Solar IPP in UAE to financial close showcases our efficiency and trust in securing funding amidst financial complexities.
“Our commitment to innovation can be seen in our involvement with cutting-edge projects like Oman's largest 300,000 m3/d desalination facility (Ghubrah III) and one of the first Solar PV deals in Uzbekistan with the developer from EU (Voltalia).
“In essence, Cranmore is leveraging its diverse expertise, global reach, unique skills, and commitment to innovation to tackle complex challenges in ME projects.”
Financial Due Diligence Provider
Alvarez & Marsal
Alvarez & Marsal was chosen by the independent panel of judges to win the financial due diligence provider award with one saying it demonstrated “good innovation from new entrant in an oligopoly”.
Another judge said: “Alvarez & Marsal provides good examples of FDD being incorporated into wider DD and tailoring the FDD approach to suit the transaction needs.”
A&M provides what it describes as a “total infrastructure” offer that it believes to be a unique market proposition.
The submission states: “While others think in silos – by service line / geography – A&M’s borderless infrastructure team is structured as a single client team embracing the market together.”
A&M has significantly expanded in the last 12 months, bringing technical due diligence and engineering capability to complement its financial, tax, pension and operational specialists.
While each specialises in core disciplines, they work together to leverage each other’s knowledge to offer a “total infrastructure” package, allowing the deal relationship to be driven by one trusted adviser.
The submission continues: “Our team is the only team in the market that can credibly combine technical, ESG and economic with financial, tax and pensions due diligence, offering synergies to clients.
“Many of the buyside financial due diligence assignments we have supported have been Core+ assets with corporate or PE vendors and sell side material written by PE specialist teams used to valuing transactions based on EBITDA multiples and EV to equity bridges rather than a DCF model and direct equity valuation.
“Our infrastructure specialist team applies its knowledge and experience supporting infrastructure investors to focus top up due diligence on areas which go to value for an infrastructure investor.
“This enables our clients to produce robust equity valuations (with opening balance sheet, debt like items and working capital dynamically included in the valuation model) but also to talk to the vendor’s approach, back solving EV to Equity bridges, minimising risk and ensuring nothing falls between the gaps.”
Legal Adviser, Europe
Clifford Chance
Clifford Chance was selected by the independent panel of judges to win the European award for legal advisory with one celebrating “another strong year from CC”.
The law firm was lauded for having closed deals across a “breadth of geographies and sectors” and having been “creative in getting renewable energy and data centre transactions off the ground”.
Another of the judges said: “Clifford Chance has demonstrated experience in complex transactions across range of infrastructure sectors.”
Over the course of the judging period, Clifford Chance expanded its market share in the infrastructure and energy sectors by 18%, securing mandates on landmark projects globally.
The firm’s cross-border teams have advised on transactions in more than 25 jurisdictions, leveraging local expertise and global best practices to deliver seamless service to multinational clients.
Clifford Chance acted for Ardian on its agreement to acquire a combined stake of 37.62% in Heathrow Airport in London across 4 different transactions, alongside The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF), from Ferrovial and certain other shareholders in Heathrow.
Under the terms of the agreement, infrastructure funds managed and advised by Ardian would acquire a 22.6% stake, and PIF would acquire c.15% stake concurrently from the sellers through separate vehicles.
CC also acted for La Caisse (formerly CDPQ) on the investment in Yondr Group, a global leader in hyperscale data, alongside DigitalBridge.
This strategic investment positions Yondr to accelerate its global expansion and meet surging demand for AI-ready and cloud infrastructure.
La Caisse is investing alongside DigitalBridge managed investment vehicles, both organisations have a longstanding track record of partnership in the digital infrastructure sector.
This is a landmark transaction for La Caisse and DigitalBridge in light of surging demand for hyperscale and AI-driven data centre solutions.
Yondr already has more than 420MW of committed capacity and land to support more than 1GW, positioning it to meet the growing needs of cloud and AI technologies.
Legal Adviser, Middle East
Ashurst
When it came to the legal advisory award for the Middle East region, the independent panel of judges selected Ashurst to win.
One of the judges said: “Ashurst has demonstrated strong transactional success during the year across a variety of geographies. It also showcased a depth of experience across the region that warrants recognition.”
The law firm has been instrumental in developing novel business models, such as the UAE’s first public-private partnership for school infrastructure – Zayed Schools PPP – and (more recently) the use of augmentation procurement frameworks to expedite projects like the Khalifa City School PPP.
Ashurst has also advised on asset monetisation for national oil companies and on upstream investment structuring in emerging markets, including Turkmenistan.
In the energy transition space, Ashurst has advised on major renewable energy projects, including the Ajban, Khazna, and Zarraf Solar PV plants (each 1,500MW), and the Sila Wind IPP, the UAE’s first publicly tendered wind project.
The firm also supported the world’s first 24/7 solar PV and battery storage project for AI data centres, addressing complex regulatory and technical issues.
The submission states: “Ashurst’s influence extends to regulatory and policy innovation, such as advising on carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) frameworks for ADNOC and the UAE Department of Energy.
“The firm also supports ADNOC’s global transformation, advising on international acquisitions, infrastructure monetisation, and major project developments.”
Local Legal Adviser of the Year
Olaniwun Ajayi
Olaniwun Ajayi was chosen by the judging panel to win the “local legal” advisory award based on its involvement across Nigerian transactions having provided “good examples in difficult market”, according to one judge.
Another of the judges added: “Olaniwun Ajayi has strong experience across a range of different transactions both at scale and also smaller transaction with significant impact.”
Over the course of the judging period, OA advised on Project Gazelle ($3.3 billion) and Project Leopard ($2 billion) for NNPC – the largest syndicated loans completed in Africa in 2023.
These deals required pioneering financial engineering, including multi-layered security packages and novel risk allocation frameworks that reassured global lenders and mobilised more than $5 billion in capital to strengthen Nigeria’s upstream and power capacity.
The firm has also introduced innovative blended finance solutions to accelerate Africa’s energy transition. It advised British International Investment on the structuring of a $30 million counter-guarantee for InfraCredit, spotlighted at COP29, which unlocked local-currency private capital for renewable infrastructure and created a replicable model for climate finance.
Similarly, the team acted for Mirova SunFunder on a $10 million facility for Watu Credit Uganda to finance 10,000 electric 2-wheelers, pioneering a bankable structure for e-mobility financing in frontier markets.
OA acted for BII on its $30 million counter-guarantee to InfraCredit where its role was pivotal in structuring a blended finance solution that paired sovereign risk support with DFI backing, unlocking private institutional capital for renewable infrastructure.
The submission states: “By combining regulatory expertise with novel legal risk-sharing tools, we created a replicable model for scaling green finance in emerging markets.
“The transaction’s measurable impact included strengthening Nigeria’s local-currency bond market, expanding InfraCredit’s guarantee capacity, and creating a pipeline of renewable energy projects able to attract long-term, affordable funding.
“Strategically, the deal bridged international climate commitments with local market needs, setting a policy-aligned precedent for future transactions. For BII and its partners, it demonstrated how development finance can catalyse private sector mobilisation in pursuit of sustainability goals.
“This mandate illustrates our success in turning global climate agendas into practical, bankable structures that advance energy transition objectives.”
Technical Adviser
Arup
The technical advisory award was won once again by Arup, chosen by the judges for having a “good spread of deals across different sectors”.
One of the judges said: “Arup has completed a large number of transaction during the period with the case studies highlighting the broad range of technical and related services – ESG, modelling, etc. – on a number of transactions, demonstrating flexibility and ability to respond to client needs.”
Three standout transactions over the last 12 months include:
Arup advised on KKR’s acquisition of Encavis, a €2.8 billion take-private of a 3.6GW mixed onshore wind and solar development platform in Germany. This complex deal required deep sector knowledge and execution capability.
It also acted on BCI’s acquisition of BBGI’s global infrastructure and renewables portfolio, spanning transport, clean energy, healthcare, education, and social infrastructure.
This was BCI’s first take private transaction as sole investor and the deal involved diverse contractual risk allocations and technically challenging assets over 19 transport projects, 41 health care facilities, 14 schools and other municipal infrastructure across the UK, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada and the US.
Tax Due Diligence Provider
Alvarez & Marsal Tax
Alvarez & Marsal scooped its second award of the evening by picking up the tax due diligence award, chosen by the judges for having provided “multiple examples of providing tax and structuring DD which complements a wider DD exercise”.
The A&M tax team is led by a senior with an emphasis on providing clear commercial advice that can be easily implemented.
The submission states: “Whether advising on cross border transaction structuring or the tax assumptions in a financial model, we seek to balance tax theory with commercial practicality to achieve adequate protection while ensuring tax does not become an unnecessary roadblock.
“We look to give actual opinions that can be relied upon rather than hiding behind assumptions and caveats.”
A&M’s infrastructure team has a long-standing collaboration with the GIIA for its biannual Pulse Survey which takes the temperature of infra investor sentiment across fund raising, deployment, country, sector and barriers to investment across Europe, Australia and North America.
The results of the survey, and the interpretation of these by the A&M team, are a key tool used by the GIIA to advocate on behalf of private infra capital with governments and regulators.
The submission states: “Our team has delivered tax due diligence and structuring advice on over 40 deals in the judging period, across the infrastructure landscape (utility networks, digital, transport, renewables, energy transition and Core+), and across Europe (UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Netherlands, Norway) with 20 successful completions, buy and sell side for both large cap and mid-market infrastructure investors.
“Success has been weighted towards Core+, energy transition and renewable and digital assets.”
Insurance Adviser of the Year
Aon
The independent panel of judges chose Aon to win the insurance advisory award with one of the judges celebrating “good case studies and detail on the submission”.
Another of the judges said: “Aon has provided strong evidence across a wide range of expertise – cyber, ESG, W&I. The case studies it has provided demonstrate good examples of utilising expertise to solve fundamental issues in transactions and enabling them to complete.”
The Aon team is staffed with dedicated and specialist infrastructure and energy capabilities across all its solution lines and has supported clients on more than 150 transactions over the course of the judging period.
The breadth, depth and connectivity across its transaction advisory (risk and insurance, cyber, climate and human capital) and transaction solutions (W&I, Tax and contingent risks) capabilities is impressive.
According to the submission: “We strive to support clients understand, quantify and transfer risks by leveraging highly innovative, tailor-made insurance capital-backed solutions.
“Our team has an established track record of addressing complex challenges faced by projects in the sector and help reduce uncertainties, mitigate contingent risks and unlock equity upsides.
“We deliver innovative advice and risk transfer solutions to clients by leveraging the highly diverse and complementary backgrounds of our team members – spanning from insurance, cyber security, climate, investment banking, law, rating agencies and Big 4.
“This unique blend of experience enables us to provide differentiated deal advisory services to clients across a wide range of diverse but interconnected risk areas.”
Market Innovation
Ergun Avukatlık Burosu
Turkish law firm Ergun Avukatlık Burosu was selected for the market innovation by the judging panel with one judge saying that it was “the only entrant that has actually presented innovation in the judging period”.
By that, the judge meant that it was the only organisation that had fulfilled the requirements of the award and the activities it reported were actually eligible!
Ergün Law Firm is a leading adviser in Türkiye’s infrastructure and energy sectors, with more than 2 decades of experience in complex project finance, PPP, and capital markets transactions.
According to the submission: “We have demonstrated consistent excellence and success across sectors and geographies through our market-leading finance and M&A practices, with a strong emphasis on infrastructure and energy.
“Our strategic presence in both Istanbul and Ankara enables us to serve clients across Türkiye with precision and agility.
“The Istanbul office, located in the country’s financial hub, ensures close collaboration with financial institutions, multinational corporations, and international investors.
“Meanwhile, our Ankara office allows direct engagement with key regulatory and governmental bodies, including the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, the Competition Authority, and sectoral ministries – critical for navigating transactions that involve public policy, PPPs, or regulatory oversight.
“Beyond our domestic reach, we regularly advise on cross-border deals and international infrastructure projects.
“We have recently completed one of the biggest M&A deals in Bulgaria for a mining investment by a Turkish company.”
