Structural growth, low volatility and high income

”‹Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure Trust (EGL) invests in utilities and other economic infrastructure equities (see definition on page 4) and is looking to deliver a total return (capital gains and income) of 6-12% per annum to shareholders over time. These sectors are traditionally less volatile than global equities in general, and the manager expects strong demand for infrastructure spending globally and attractive returns for providers of capital. EGL, with its focus on growth, capital preservation and a high level of income (EGL currently offers a yield of 5.2%), could be attractive to investors looking for stable income. The current discount of 12.9% may also offer an opportunity.

Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure Trust – Strong outlook as macro gloom lifts

Over the past 12 months, Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure (EGL), along with the broader utilities and infrastructure sector, has been at the mercy of broader macro-economic conditions.

The company maintains exposure to a suite of investments that stand to benefit from an ever-growing list of tailwinds as global decarbonisation and electrification trends gather momentum.

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?
