GCP Infrastructure – Green is good

GCP Infrastructure (GCP) has seen a dramatic improvement in the tailwinds supporting its investment thesis, whereby the rise in UK inflation and power prices has driven a substantial, positive uplift in GCP’s NAV. This uplift has more than made up for the negative impact of the UK government’s levy on energy producers. GCP has also made major strides in the quality of its ESG disclosures.

However, GCP has moved to trade on a historically wide discount, currently 14.7%. This may be a reflection of the wider pressure on bond yields that has been felt globally, although as a result, GCP now offers one of the highest yields of its peer group.

GCP Infrastructure – Don’t look back in anger

2023 was a challenging year for GCP Infrastructure Investments Limited (GCP) as rising interest rates and several other factors appeared to weigh on returns. Despite this, the company was still able to generate positive NAV returns which the advisers note was thanks mostly to inflation linkages and contracted earnings that helped offset the impact of rising discount rates. Unfortunately, negative sentiment continued to weigh on the company’s shares, with the discount widening to a record low, despite what the advisers believe remains a stable portfolio. Promisingly, it appears that inflation h...

Bluefield Solar Income Fund – Fundamentals shine despite discount

The manger comments that, in common with the other trusts in the renewable energy sector, the last six months have continued what has been a challenging period for the Bluefield Solar Income Fund (BSIF). It adds that the trust’s ongoing fundamental performance has failed to reverse a steady slide in its share price which began back in May 2023. Despite this, it says the company has continued to deliver solid NAV growth and market-leading shareholder distributions thanks to a range of contractual arrangements that underpin its assets. Positively, the manager notes, the falling share price does...

abrdn Private Equity Opportunities – On the way to greener pastures?

Despite navigating through what its managers considered to be challenging conditions in 2023, abrdn Private Equity Opportunities (APEO) was able to report both positive NAV growth and double-digit share price returns in its recently published annual results. APEO’s discount has narrowed by more than 10% in recent months, so that it is trading on a 28.9% discount currently, narrowing from about 45% last October. These figures were generated over a period that saw a slowdown in activity in European private equity markets in 2023, dampened by what APEO’s managers believed was a residual fear of r...
