We are an active manager that secures governance rights consistent with the nature and scale of the investment that ranges from minority positions in large scale utility businesses with established management teams, to controlling interests in earlier stage project companies developing new infrastructure. This usually includes representation on boards and board committees. Formal governance rights are augmented by investment in building close relationships with management teams, co-shareholders and other stakeholders. The combination allows us to make targeted interventions to guide company activity.

We specialise in investing in predominantly UK assets on behalf of UK pension funds. This distinctive position in the market has allowed us to acquire a deep-rooted understanding of the political and regulatory environment in which we operate. By leveraging this highly localised approach, we have developed strong, longstanding relationships across the sector.

Drawing on our firm’s long-established sustainability expertise, we have developed proprietary assessment and reporting tools that allow us to integrate sustainability into all aspects of our infrastructure investments. We identify risks at the outset of the investment process and monitor progress throughout the investment life cycle. We are also at the vanguard of sustainability engagement in the industry by influencing company activity at board and committee level.

Our dedicated asset class offering extends to co-mingled funds, segregated and managed accounts across a range of infrastructure opportunities.
