Franklin Templeton Partners with Infrastructure Giants to Expand Private Wealth Offerings
Franklin Templeton has forged a strategic alliance with Actis, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, and DigitalBridge to democratize access to private infrastructure investments for individual investors. The $1.6 trillion asset manager targets thematic opportunities in energy security, digitalization, and electrification—sectors projected to require $94 trillion in global infrastructure spending by 2040.
"This collaboration answers surging demand for infrastructure exposure," said CEO Jenny Johnson, highlighting data centers, renewable energy, and digital power as key focus areas. Private markets now present a $15 trillion capital opportunity as institutional-grade strategies trickle down to wealth management clients.
