ICG reported USD17 billion of fundraising for the financial year, exceeding its expectations.

Chief Executive & Chief Investment Officer Benoit Durteste noted "the successful final closes for Infrastructure II and Metropolitan II mean we have now had six funds close at or above their target in the last 24 months."

"FY26 was a strong year for ICG. We reinforced our scaled competitive position, established a strategic relationship with Amundi, and built on our track record of strategic and financial resilience," commented CEO & CIO Durteste.

"We are experiencing clear demand from institutional allocators globally for our strategies, and are unaffected by challenges being faced by certain evergreen vehicles in the US. I believe ICG is well positioned to continue generating compounding long-term shareholder value."
