KKR has agreed to transfer Infinity Transportation to funds associated with Ares Infrastructure Equity and Ares Insurance Solutions in a transaction valuing the business at approximately $2.9 billion on an enterprise-value basis. Blue Vault reports that the October 19 announcement concerns a railcar and intermodal equipment leasing company.

Infinity owns and manages roughly 50,000 railcars serving more than 350 lessees in Mexico, Canada and the United States. Global Atlantic, a KKR subsidiary, has invested in the business since 2016. The companies anticipate closing during the first quarter of 2027, provided regulatory approvals and other customary conditions are satisfied.
