Stafford plans to allocate 80% of its latest $1bn+ timberland fund to secondaries, chief executive Angus Whiteley told Secondaries Investor.

Infrastructure secondaries volume is expected to double in the next five years after seeing at least $15bn last year.

There have been few documented cases of continuation vehicle exits given the nascent nature of such transactions. The deal has become the latest example.

Infrastructure/real asset deals accounted for about 6% of the $84bn of GP-led volume last year, according to a Greenhill report.
