Investors from Five Continents Back Fund II
The global nature of the investor pool speaks volumes. Anchored by the Development Bank of Japan Inc., the fund drew support from limited partners spanning the U.S., Japan, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. The roster includes institutional giants: pension funds, insurance companies, fund-of-funds, endowments, diversified asset managers, and family offices—many of them returning from Excelsior’s first fund.
“We’re proud to build on the success of our inaugural fund,” said Chris Moakley, Excelsior’s managing partner. “With Fund II, we’re not just expanding—we’re scaling up strategically, pushing into new territory while remaining grounded in disciplined, high-performance investing.”
Advisory Firepower and Strategic Vision
Guiding the legal framework of this milestone was Sidley Austin LLP, with partner Patrick Michel at the helm of the advisory team. Their involvement underscores the complexity and significance of the fund’s formation and deployment strategy, as Excelsior positions itself at the vanguard of energy transition infrastructure.
With the U.S. accelerating its move toward decarbonization and energy resilience, Excelsior’s bold bet on renewables could become a blueprint for future infrastructure investing.
