We are pleased to share that Ares Infrastructure Opportunities (AIO) has completed an approximately $1.0 billion preferred equity investment in Caturus’ Commonwealth liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.

In total, Caturus successfully closed on $9.75 billion in project financing, and we are excited to work alongside their existing sponsors Kimmeridge, Mubadala Energy and CPPIB.

At the Institutional Connect Private Markets Forum 2026, Managing Director in Ares Infrastructure Opportunities Matthew Eid-Holm discussed how digital infrastructure is being redefined by powerful tailwinds including AI adoption, rising data consumption and growing energy demand. He also shared how evolving demand across digital, energy and essential services is creating new investment opportunities, and how a disciplined, value-driven approach can uncover resilient, income-generating assets positioned to grow through cycles.

Why is private infrastructure an interesting investment opportunity? Teiki Benveniste, Head of AWMS Australia, New Zealand, explores this question by sharing how structural trends—including power demand, digitalisation, AI and automation—are expanding access to de-risked, contracted assets with resilient cash flows. He also highlights Ares’ differentiated position in the market: leveraging our global scale, cross-platform sourcing and origination capabilities to access core infrastructure opportunities, and how this approach supports performance through market cycles.

Markets have a physics to them. They move like a pendulum—toward extremes and back before returning to a normal state—and Newton’s third law applies. This supports that the longer valuations stay stretched, the faster and more violently they tend to snap back. In the latest edition of In the Gaps, Wanted: Dead and Alive, Ares Alternative Credit expands on this theory, what it means for private markets and what the team has learned through previous cycles.
