• Tiger’s stated strategy is to “provide growth capital to middle market infrastructure businesses” with the goal of creating mature, traditional or core infrastructure assets.
• The firm targets real assets and essential services with barriers to entry, predictable demand, and limited technology, commodity, or business-model risk.
• Preferred use cases for capital include expanding existing assets or networks, creating new assets/platforms/networks, and consolidation through synergistic acquisitions.
• Tiger focuses on digital infrastructure, energy transition, transportation, and related infrastructure sectors in North America and Europe.
• Tiger typically targets $75 million to $200 million equity investments and usually seeks majority stakes, while also considering minority investments with aligned partners.
• The firm’s value-creation playbook emphasizes building or expanding assets, shifting toward recurring revenue, improving contracts, reducing cost of capital, strengthening management teams, expanding customer relationships, and introducing ESG/best practices.
