Infrastructure Investment Management
We specialise in managing infrastructure investments through a disciplined approach that combines bilateral deal sourcing with active asset management. Our strategy focuses on traditional asset-backed infrastructure sectors where we can deliver enhanced returns through operational improvements and strategic growth initiatives. With over 4.3 billion in assets under management, we provide institutional investors with access to mid-market infrastructure opportunities that offer downside protection and inflation-linkage.
Sustainable Value Creation
Our approach to value creation incorporates environmental, social, and governance factors throughout the investment lifecycle. We work closely with portfolio company management teams to implement sustainability initiatives that reduce risks and enhance long-term value. This includes investing over 1 billion in renewable energy projects and achieving 100% engagement on climate change mitigation across our portfolio companies.
Active Asset Management
We provide ongoing support to portfolio companies through follow-on capital investment and operational expertise. Our team of industry partners and technical specialists helps management teams implement strategic initiatives that have delivered over 70% average revenue growth. This includes providing 45% of initial capital investment in follow-on funding for organic expansion and strategic acquisitions.
Bilateral Deal Sourcing
Our entrepreneurial approach focuses on sourcing 80% of investments through direct, bilateral transactions. This allows us to access unique opportunities with reduced competition and negotiate terms that provide downside protection. Our extensive industry relationships and operational expertise enable us to identify undervalued assets with strong potential for value creation.
Climate Change Mitigation
We actively support the energy transition through investments in renewable energy and low-carbon infrastructure. Our portfolio companies have exported over 1,000 GWh of renewable energy annually and implemented sustainability initiatives that align with global climate goals. This includes developing the UK's first major reservoir since the 1980s and creating industry-first supply chain certification programmes.
