Foci Financial has initiated a large-scale infrastructure investment effort across Mexico, Canada and the United States to support critical development in areas that have been historically underserved.
The firm, which specialises in strategic investment across energy and network infrastructure, announced that it has secured $900 million to establish the North American Infrastructure Investment Fund. The initiative is designed to contribute to addressing the region’s $3.6 trillion infrastructure investment gap.
The fund will deploy capital across a broad range of sectors including energy, public works, construction, oil, real estate and partnership-based development. Particular focus will be given to regions requiring urgent upgrades or where previous investment has been insufficient.
The launch is consistent with Foci Financial’s core objective of directing capital towards opportunities that reinforce and reshape infrastructure and energy networks across North America.
The timing of the initiative reflects growing infrastructure pressure across the continent. The United States alone is estimated to require $9.1 trillion to maintain and modernise its critical infrastructure networks, forming part of the wider $3.6 trillion gap identified across North America.
Mexico and Canada both offer favourable environments for new infrastructure initiatives. Canadian investment in Mexico has expanded significantly in recent years, rising to $40 billion in 2024, signalling stronger cross-border alignment and cooperation. Improving shared infrastructure and supporting tariff-free trade corridors remain high strategic priorities.
Foci Financial’s North American infrastructure initiative will deploy capital across seven key sectors:
Public Works & Construction: Investments will target aging municipal infrastructure, including water systems requiring an estimated $744 billion in additional investment over the next decade, and deteriorated roadway networks where 40% of major roads remain in poor or mediocre condition.
Energy Infrastructure: The initiative will focus on transmission and distribution infrastructure modernization, renewable energy integration, and grid expansion projects to meet surging electricity demand across the continent.
Oil & Gas Systems: Strategic investments will enhance energy security and optimize distribution networks across North American markets.
Real Estate Development: Targeted capital deployment in infrastructure-adjacent projects that support economic development in under served communities.
Public-Private Partnerships: Collaborative financing structures will leverage private capital to accelerate public infrastructure delivery while ensuring competitive returns for investors and value for taxpayers.
The initiative will prioritize underdeveloped regions across all three North American nations, with particular attention to:
- Rural and under served U.S. communities experiencing broadband and transportation infrastructure gaps
- Strategic infrastructure corridors in Mexico supporting nearshoring and regional manufacturing growth
- Cross-border connectivity projects enhancing trade facilitation between Canada and Mexico
- Regional energy infrastructure serving communities with inadequate grid capacity and reliability challenges
“This North American infrastructure initiative represents our commitment to deploying strategic capital where it can generate the greatest economic impact,” said Victor Delaev, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Foci Financial. “Our focus on underdeveloped areas and sectors throughout Mexico, the United States, and Canada seeks to deliver strong investment returns and foster broader regional economic resilience.”
Elena Duarte, Partner at Foci Financial, added: “This is an opportune moment to invest in North American infrastructure. Governmental frameworks such as Plan México 2025 and the North American Infrastructure Modernization Strategy have created a uniquely supportive environment for capital deployment. These initiatives are driving large‑scale infrastructure renewal, renewable energy expansion, and industrial development programs that together enable high‑return, socially beneficial partnerships across the region.”
Backed by the recently raised $900 million fund, the initiative builds upon Foci Financial’s established track record of partnering with leading organizations to accelerate innovation in energy and infrastructure. This capital base positions the firm to identify and advance high-value projects that traditional funding sources have historically overlooked.
The firm expects to announce its first project commitments under this initiative within the coming quarter, with a robust pipeline of opportunities currently under evaluation across all three countries.
