We focus our investments in four core sectors
Digital
Digital infrastructure and data consumption, available everywhere and always on, are fundamentally reshaping our world.
Transport
Mobility infrastructure is shifting with new demands and the development of data-driven, hyper-connected business models.
Energy
New network infrastructure, system flexibility and distributed generation is needed to effect the shift in carbon footprint.
Logistics & Industrials
Critical supply chains demand greater integration, agility and security to withstand increased environmental and social pressures.
Our portfolio
We’ve invested over €7.7bn of equity capital in 21 European infrastructure businesses.
“Arcus is defined by the continuity and collective experience of our team.”
