Pantheon Infrastructure (PINT) | Future-facing fund offers global dive...
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...

Building the future | Growth themes in infrastructure investment
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...

Hardman & Co Insight: 2026 ‒ Will the IIC/REIF NAV worm turn?
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...

Fuel for (AI powered) thought
Pantheon Infrastructure’s (PINT) portfolio is focused on areas of secular growth. It helps both enable and take advantage of technological progress and global connectivity. It is also supporting the shift towards more sustainable energy generation. The success of its approach is particularly evident in the area of data centres – the focus of much of this note – where PINT is directly exposed to the voracious demand for energy to power the unfolding Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution.

Only Cordiant and Pantheon buck the trend... For the remaining 29 quoted Infrastructure Investment Companies (IICs) and the Renewable Energy Infrastructure Funds (REIFs), 2024 was a dire year ‒ as was 2023. NAV discounts widened appreciably, while some REIFs, in particular, really struggled. During 2024, there were several “Continuation/Discontinuation Votes”, which saw some funds enter Managed Wind Down. Furthermore, there were no major sector fund-raises during the year; instead, share buy...

Feature article: UK interest rates and “risk-free” gilts at their peak? Infrastructure stocks struggle Executive summary Infrastructure/Renewable Energy Funds ► The share price performances of the nine Infrastructure Investment Companies (IICs) and of the 22 Renewable Energy Infrastructure Funds (REIFs) have been dire over the past year. Undoubtedly, the sharp rise in interest rates has presented the sector with serious challenges, especially since the yield on “risk-free” 10-year gilts has r...

LIBERUM: Infrastructure - Climbing the risk curve
With the sector now trading at a sustained discount for only the fourth time since the GFC, investors are clearly concerned about the impact of rising interest rates on valuations. However, we see the indiscriminate sell-off as unjustified. Private markets have record levels of dry powder, and high discount rates on Core-plus assets allow for greater smoothing compared to Super-core peers, which are now close to record-low risk premiums. While the view of an ‘acceptable’ yield has changed, Core-...

Since its launch in November 2021, Pantheon Infrastructure (PINT) has been busy assembling a diverse portfolio of 11 investments in infrastructure projects in developed markets. The majority of these have explicit inflation-linkage or implicit protection through regulation or market position. In addition, the company is substantially hedged against foreign exchange movements. Whilst it is still early days for the trust, the NAV has made positive progress. PINT’s ambition is to generate NAV tota...

Hardman & Co Research’s focus is on the nine quoted infrastructure investment companies (IICs) and on the 22 renewable energy infrastructure funds (REIFs), most of which saw their share prices fall during 2022, while the FTSE 100 rose by just 0.9%. In our Quoted UK Infrastructure and Renewable Energy – Prospects for 2023 publication, we have addressed the three key issues of recent months: higher inflation, extremely volatile power prices and rising interest rates.
