BHR Partners
BHR Partners launched in 2013 in Beijing, founded by a team that included former China Investment Corporation (CIC) executives and other state-affiliated finance professionals. The firm's founding coincides with China's broader push to internationalize its capital and secure strategic assets abroad. BHR targets direct investments and co-investments in infrastructure, energy transition, and real estate, primarily across developed markets in Europe and North America. Known holdings include a stake in the UK's National Grid gas distribution network and renewable energy assets in Western Europe. The firm also participates in large infrastructure joint ventures alongside state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds. The firm's deployment scale is not publicly disclosed. BHR operates from its Beijing headquarters with a lean team of investment professionals. It has not publicly reported assets under management or staff counts. BHR Partners sits at the intersection of Chinese state capital and global private markets. Its founding team's background at CIC and other state-linked institutions gives the firm a distinct access channel to both Chinese policy priorities and Western deal flow.
