What JLC Infrastructure does

JLC Infrastructure (legal entity MJE-Loop Capital Partners LLC) is a U.S.-based, 100% minority-controlled investor and asset management firm focused on middle-market infrastructure investments across transportation, communications, energy, utilities and social infrastructure sectors. Founded in 2015 as a joint venture between Loop Capital and Magic Johnson Enterprises, the firm operates from New York City and Chicago and currently manages approximately $0.7 billion in assets across a portfolio that includes JFK New Terminal One, LAX Cargo Modernization, LaGuardia Terminal B, Hudson Yards CoGen, Northeast Energy Center, Greenskies (solar), GeoLinks (fixed wireless), AOC Connect (federal IT), MasParc (parking at Northeastern University), Hornet Place student housing (CSU Sacramento) and the Port of Los Angeles Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal (via a Carrix JV).

The firm generates revenue through two streams: recurring asset management fees on committed and deployed fund capital, and transaction-linked carried interest and performance-based returns from successful infrastructure investments. Capital is raised from institutional investors worldwide via private fund placements, with Fund II closing at $925 million in December 2024. Distribution is sales-led, conducted through direct institutional investor relations, global fundraising outreach led by a dedicated Head of IR & Fundraising, and selective participation in P3 and infrastructure industry conferences. The go-to-market targets pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies and family offices seeking diversified, ESG-aligned middle-market U.S. infrastructure exposure with MWBE participation benefits.

JLC's operating model combines direct investing, joint ventures with operating partners (Greystar, Carrix, Liberty Energy Trust, Hull Street Energy, Realterm), selective platform acquisitions (MasParc, January 2025) and active asset management across portfolio companies. The firm differentiates on its MWBE-controlled status, its relationships with municipalities and infrastructure counterparties, and its track record of meeting diversity and community impact targets on public-sector P3 projects. Reporting and investor portal access are handled through a SunGard DX investor login, and ongoing portfolio reporting, valuations and risk management are run in-house by the firm's New York-based investment and asset management team.
