Trusted by Real Estate and Infrastructure GPs and LPs
“Violet has introduced us to institutional allocators outside our existing network, including institutions in regions we had not previously reached through our traditional placement relationships. That reach has changed how we think about LP development.”

Real Estate Fund
“The property-type and strategy filters help us look at managers across the full spectrum of real estate without requiring additional analyst coverage. We can keep our universe focused and current without adding headcount to do it.”
Head of Real Estate
Institutional Allocator
“Infrastructure fundraising involves long sales cycles and a concentrated LP universe. Violet helps us identify allocators actively building or expanding infrastructure programs, which makes our outreach more targeted and productive.”

Common Questions
Real Estate and Infrastructure Frequently Asked Questions
What is real estate and infrastructure investing?
Real estate and infrastructure investing is the institutional allocation to physical property (multifamily, industrial, office, retail, hospitality, specialty) and to essential infrastructure assets (energy, transportation, utilities, digital infrastructure, social infrastructure). Both categories share long-duration cash flows, inflation-linked characteristics, and typically require significant capital commitments over multi-year holding periods.
How is real estate different from infrastructure?
Real estate is investment in physical property with income and appreciation driven by rents, occupancy, and market cycles. Infrastructure is investment in essential assets with typically contracted or regulated cash flows and longer holding periods (10 to 25 years). Both fall under the broader real assets category, but institutional allocators increasingly size them as distinct portfolio sleeves.
What returns do real estate and infrastructure funds target?
Return targets vary by risk profile. Core real estate and core infrastructure typically target high single-digit to low double-digit net IRRs with a significant income component. Value-add strategies target low to mid-teens. Opportunistic strategies target mid-teens or higher net IRRs. Digital infrastructure and energy transition funds are currently among the most active sub-sectors.
Who invests in real estate and infrastructure?
Institutional allocators including public pension funds (which typically carry the largest infrastructure allocations), sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies (particularly for long-duration infrastructure), endowments, foundations, and family offices. Real estate is one of the longest-established institutional allocations; infrastructure has grown significantly over the last decade.
What are the main real estate and infrastructure sub-strategies?
Real estate: multifamily, industrial, office, retail, hospitality, specialty (data centers, life sciences, self-storage), risk profiles core through opportunistic. Infrastructure: energy (traditional and transition), transportation (airports, ports, rail), utilities (regulated and unregulated), digital infrastructure (data centers, towers, fiber), and social infrastructure (healthcare, education).
How do LPs find real estate and infrastructure managers on iConnections?
Allocators filter by property type (multifamily, industrial, digital, specialty), infrastructure sub-sector (energy transition, digital, transportation), risk profile (core, core-plus, value-add, opportunistic), geography, and fund size. Violet matches allocator investment focus to real estate and infrastructure managers, and Global Alts events run dedicated tracks for both categories.
