Campbell Lutyens, the world’s leading independent private capital advisor​, has received industry recognition as Placement Agent of the Year in every category – Global, EMEA, APAC and Americas – at the annual IJGlobal Investor Awards 2025.

The independent judging panel commended Campbell Lutyens as “a perennial heavyweight across categories and structures.” The infrastructure team was praised for demonstrating depth across practice areas during the review period (12 months to 31 July 2025), as well as breadth of experience and engagement across the capital raising lifecycle. In North America judges noted that Campbell Lutyens’ “impact in facilitating capital commitments into infrastructure funds, connecting GP supply with LP demand, far exceeds their next competitor.”

Campbell Lutyens’ dedicated infrastructure platform operates across primary fundraising, the secondary market and GP Capital Advisory, and has global coverage of over 1,000 LPs through its extensive network. The GP Capital Advisory team acts as a trusted advisor to founders, CEOs and leadership teams for their most critical management committee decisions, including majority and minority stakes (buy-side and sell-side), valuations and succession planning.

Gordon Bajnai, CEO of Campbell Lutyens and Global Head of Infrastructure and Energy Transition, said: “Our infrastructure practice has been recognised as a global leader for multiple years in a row, and we are very proud of that. We strive to be the partner of choice to help GPs and LPs to achieve strategic objectives and landmark transactions - whether scaling platforms, enhancing liquidity, or reallocating capital. I thank the team for their efforts, thought leadership and focus on client success.”
