DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) closed its third value‑added digital infrastructure fund, DigitalBridge Partners III, on November 19, 2025, raising $7.2 billion in fund commitments and an additional $4.5 billion in limited‑partner co‑investment commitments, for a total capital formation of $11.7 billion.
More than 65 % of the commitments came from existing DigitalBridge Partners investors, while new limited partners were added from the Asia‑Pacific, Europe, and North America regions. Key new LPs include the Japan Investment Fund, the European Infrastructure Partners, and the Canadian Sovereign Wealth Fund, underscoring the fund’s global appeal.
The fund targets hyperscale data centers, AI‑enabling infrastructure, and power and connectivity assets. DigitalBridge’s “power bank” strategy—leveraging its proprietary power‑delivery network to secure low‑cost, high‑capacity electricity—provides a competitive edge for building and operating data centers that can meet the growing demand for AI workloads.
DigitalBridge’s first two funds delivered strong returns, with Partners I generating a 20 % internal rate of return over five years and Partners II delivering a 22 % IRR over four years. The successful performance of those funds helped secure the high level of commitment from existing investors and set a benchmark for the scale and quality of assets that Partners III will pursue.
The digital‑infrastructure market is expanding rapidly, driven by cloud adoption, edge computing, and the explosive growth of AI applications that require massive compute and storage capacity. Analysts note that the sector is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 12 % over the next decade, positioning DigitalBridge to capture a significant share of the market through its diversified, AI‑focused strategy.
“We have the power. We have the platforms. We have the customer relationships. We are executing,” said CEO Marc Ganzi. He added that the capital raise will accelerate the deployment of power‑bank‑enabled data centers and fiber platforms, supporting DigitalBridge’s goal of scaling AI‑driven infrastructure and expanding its global footprint.
