Digital Halo, a Singapore-based data center platform, is one of the 11 seed assets that is set to benefit from the US$ 15 billion fourth round direct infrastructure program closed by its majority shareholder, Switzerland-based Partners Group recently.
The program, which includes a closed-ended fund as well as bespoke solutions, is more than 50 per cent larger than the previous vintage. Partners Group’s direct infrastructure strategy has one of the strongest realized track records in the industry, delivering returns of 2.2x nTVPI and 20.8% nIRR, according to the firm’s press release today.
Partners Group added that the program is over 40 per cent committed across a seed portfolio of 11 assets. Two other assets that are set to benefit are Life Cycle Power, a US provider of mobile power generation that bridges acute grid constraints for data centers and industrial users; and green flexibility, a developer of large-scale battery storage systems in Germany. The latter supports grid flexibility amid the rise of intermittent renewable sources.
In May 2025, w.media reported that Partners Group, one of the largest firms in the global private markets industry, has acquired a majority shareholding in Digital Halo Pte Ltd. Alongside existing shareholder ARCH Capital, the Swiss firm planned to commit around USD 400 million to support its pan-Asian expansion targeted initially at Manila and Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The first phase of JHB1 campus in Johor, Malaysia was reportedly almost completed at the time. The firm plans to develop Digital Halo into a next generation platform with over 500MW capacity across Asia.
Esther Peiner, Global Head of Infrastructure, Partners Group, says: “The raising of our largest direct infrastructure program to-date is a testament to the appeal of our strategy as well as its top quartile performance. Investors are increasingly seeking the stable, inflation-protected returns and downside protection that infrastructure can offer. Our thematic approach and ability to drill down into related sub-sectors has enabled us to build a highly diversified portfolio of primarily mid-market companies that offer significant value creation potential. We look forward to executing across a robust global pipeline.”
