Future Standard to Acquire Digital Infrastructure Platform
Future Standard, an $86 billion global alternative asset manager, has entered into an agreement to acquire the digital infrastructure platform of Post Road Group, a Stamford, Conn.-based alternative investment advisory firm. Future Standard said the acquisition will build on its momentum across its private markets platform, including “strategic hires, product innovation and client demand for differentiated performance.”
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Led by Michael Bogdan, Post Road Group’s co-founder, the platform specializes in credit and structured equity investments across digital infrastructure assets, including data centers, fiber networks and cloud connectivity. Following the transaction close, Bogdan will join Future Standard to lead the platform, bringing with him a team of 12 professionals also based in Connecticut. The platform currently manages over $2 billion in assets, including commitments and co-investments.
“This is a compelling opportunity to deepen our specialized approach to private markets investing and expand our investment capabilities in a sector undergoing rapid transformation,” said Michael Forman, founder and chief executive officer of Future Standard. “Digital infrastructure is experiencing explosive demand driven by generative AI, cloud computing and enterprise digitalization. The Post Road Group team’s differentiated approach and strong track record make them a natural fit for Future Standard.”
The platform’s investment strategy is rooted in deep sector expertise and a disciplined focus on senior debt, mezzanine financing and preferred equity, which will position Future Standard to offer institutional-grade products with compelling risk-adjusted returns. This approach, according to the company, is expected to further expand Future Standard’s ability to deliver innovative solutions to both institutional and wealth clients.
“We’re excited to join Future Standard and continue building on the success of our platform,” said Bogdan. “Future Standard has established a robust foundation to accelerate the growth of high-quality, entrepreneur-led investment platforms. The firm’s culture, investment philosophy and commitment to long-term partnerships align perfectly with our team and our vision for the future of digital infrastructure investing.”
The transaction is expected to close this month and is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
In July 2025, FS Investments rebranded to Future Standard. With the evolution, Future Standard operates under a unified identity following its combination with Portfolio Advisors, its global private asset manager specializing in the middle market. Its business development company, FS Specialty Lending Fund, formerly known as FS Energy and Power Fund – continues to move forward with its goal to list on a national securities exchange in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Future Standard is a global alternative asset manager serving institutional and private wealth clients, investing across private equity, credit and real estate.
