Nuveen’s EPIC II fund nears $2 billion second close with infrastructure investments

Nuveen’s EPIC II infrastructure fund is approaching a $2 billion second close, accelerating its deployment of capital across global infrastructure assets. The fund targets investments in renewable energy, transport, and utilities, aligning with Nuveen’s broader strategy to expand its real assets portfolio under EPIC II. As of April 2026, the fund has already deployed over $1.8 billion in equity capital, with a focus on North American and European infrastructure platforms. Nuveen’s real assets team, led by global head of infrastructure David Scaysbrook, is actively sourcing deals in energy transition and digital infrastructure sectors. The fund’s rapid capital deployment reflects strong investor demand for core infrastructure assets amid rising energy transition investments.
