DigitalBridge has received $1.1bn (鈧1bn) in capital commitments at the close of its inaugural digital infrastructure credit strategy. 

The global digital infrastructure asset manager said the DigitalBridge Credit (DBC) fund, together with parallel vehicles, received the capital commitments from global investors including pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, family offices and private wealth platforms.

DBC is supported by existing DigitalBridge investors and new investors with a specific interest in gaining exposure to infrastructure credit, the manager said.

DigitalBridge鈥檚 credit strategy focuses on delivering investment solutions to support the growth of companies across the digital infrastructure sector. The strategy targets debt investments across all sub-sectors of digital infrastructure, with a focus on current income-based returns in first-lien term loans, second lien term loans and junior debt.

So far, the DigitalBridge credit team has made 11 investments, across data centres, fibre, satellite broadband and cloud infrastructure, the manager said.
