Renewable energy infrastructure funds have had a torrid few years given rising interest rates and inflation, higher discount rates and a fractious political and economic environment. FGEN was arguably already better placed than many given its diversified portfolio – with no offshore wind and a higher volume of baseload power, meaning far less intermittency or storage concerns than a pure wind or solar fund. Its moves into more esoteric growth assets may have raised eyebrows, but with constructio...
While some trusts launched at the tail end of the post-global financial crisis boom in alternative assets have faltered, Pantheon Infrastructure (PINT)'s performance to date has been impressive, with sector-beating returns in both share price and NAV terms and a sharply narrowing discount to NAV. The exposure to digital and energy themes (including both data centres and the power delivery needed to operate them) gives the trust ‘picks and shovels' exposure to the AI story without overly dominati...
Infrastructure and renewable energy funds were the darlings of the investment trust world just a few years ago, dominating both primary and secondary issuance through a combination of attractive income returns and a compelling investment story founded in the need to develop better, cleaner, greener and higher-tech infrastructure around the world. Yet changing market dynamics have caused a considerable fall from favour, with 10 fewer trusts across both sectors than in mid-2023 – and still more he...
GCP Infrastructure (GCP) is now over 15 years old. Investors who joined at IPO have already received back their full investment through dividends. The NAV has stayed fairly stable, and from launch to December 2025, GCP delivered a total NAV return of 187%. Despite this strong record, GCP’s shares have traded at a wide discount to NAV for several years, which has pushed the dividend yield up to 9.1%. For the past two years, GCP has been selling assets to cut debt, fund share buybacks, and impr...
GCP Infrastructure (GCP) is now over 15 years old. Investors who subscribed at IPO have already received all of their investment back in dividends alone. While the NAV has been fairly stable, factoring in both income and capital from launch to the end of December 2025, GCP generated a total NAV return of 187%. Despite this long-term record, GCP’s shares have traded on a wide – and we feel unjustified – discount for several years. That boosts its dividend yield, which is currently 9.1%. For tw...
REIF wind-downs, plunging NAV discounts and “ajar” equity markets, but... Undoubtedly, 2025 was a difficult year for Infrastructure Investment Companies (IICs) and Renewable Energy Infrastructure Funds (REIFs). Investors have seen underperformance against the FTSE 100, widening NAV discounts, several delistings, managed wind-downs (MWDs) and regulatory issues in both the UK and in the US. The question for investors is: where do we go from here? On the one hand, yields for some REIFS are well ov...

The renewable energy infrastructure sector was dealt a blow last month as the government outlined plans to change the inflation link in existing clean energy incentives from the traditionally-higher RPI to CPI from next year – four years ahead of the planned changeover. The impact on Foresight Environmental Infrastructure (FGEN) would be marginal under this option (0.5% reduction in NAV), due to the diversified nature of its portfolio. However, a more radical second proposal was also put forward...
