Flexibility and Expertise at every Step of Your Infrastructure Financing

 

For Investors - Tailored Investment Opportunities in Infrastructure Debt

As an investor at CAERUS, you benefit from a diversified portfolio of Infrastructure Debt financing the assets behind Europe’s energy transition, sovereignty and circular economy – designed to deliver resilient, attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Our strategy targets the mid-market: essential infrastructure businesses with proven technologies and established revenues that need debt to scale. Every financing is underpinned by rigorous due diligence and the structural protections typical of infrastructure lending.

Through proprietary sourcing, bespoke structuring and active monitoring, CAERUS aims to deliver stable and diversifying risk adjusted return

 

For borrowers - Flexibility and Expertise at every Step of Your Infrastructure Financing

At CAERUS, we understand that every infrastructure business has its own growth path – and that standard bank debt does not always fit it. Our approach is to support you with tailored and flexible financing solutions that fit your business plan and grow with you.

We offer the full range of instruments, from Senior Secured Loans (including holdco debt and unitranche)
to Junior Secured financing  at asset, platform or corporate level.

We target a ticket size of € 15 - 50m with a 5 - 10 year tenor, fixed of floating interest rates.

Our expertise covers the three pillars of Europe’s strategic transition: energy transition (renewables, storage, grids, EV charging), sovereignty (digital, dual-use transport and social infrastructure) and circular economy (heat networks, bio-energy, water).

Services for Borrowers

Strategic Financings at Every Stage of Real Estate Investment

Senior Loan

The classic first-lien debt tranche, which we can offer with a higher LTV (loan-to-value) than banks. Our Senior Loans not only provide attractive conditions but also a swift execution and individual structuring. This ensures that your financing proceeds smoothly and efficiently, allowing you to fully focus on your project.

Whole Loan

First-lien secured loan with a LTV up to 75% from a single source. This type of loan allows the borrower to simultaneously benefit from the advantages of first-lien financing and the more flexible configuration of a subordinated loan. It simplifies the financing process and reduces the usual complexity associated with coordinating multiple lenders, while providing a higher LTV compared to the Senior Loan.

Junior Loan

A subordinated debt tranche that complements the first-lien loan. It allows the lender to offer LTVs that are outside the parameters of a Senior Loan but overall still within a moderate leverage range (65 – 75%).

Mezzanine & Bridge

Mezzanine and bridge financings provide a flexible and customized solution for interim financing or for projects that require an additional capital tranche at a higher leverage than available in a Junior Loan. These products effectively bridge the gap between equity and debt. Ideal for borrowers looking for short- to medium-term financing with tailored repayment structures that are considerate of equity requirements.
