Hardman & Co Insight: UK Renewable Energy Infrastructure Funds - For all the fans

We share with you our first insight into the UK’s top renewable generation funds. For many investors, REIFs offer an attractive means of securing exposure to the benefits of rising UK investment in renewable energy sectors, much of which is backed by long-term contracts delivering generally solid and secure returns.

Following an industry-wide consultation and the Association of Investment Companies’ (AIC) reclassification of sectors in May, we have applied our analyst’s 30+ years of sectoral expertise to tease out the investment-critical characteristics of these funds. We believe this market requires specialist sector knowledge and expertise, which we are able to deliver.
