GLIL invests in core infrastructure assets predominantly in the United Kingdom. The Fund is managed to achieve an investment performance at the portfolio level, net of all fees, that matches or exceeds UK CPI + 4-6% over a rolling ten-year period.

Our investments are expected to have most of the following characteristics:

  • Substantially backed by durable physical assets
  • Long life and low risk of obsolescence
  • Identifiable and reliable cash flows that are explicitly or implicitly inflation-linked
  • Returns that are largely isolated from the business cycle and competition; and
  • Returns that show limited correlation to other asset classes
  • Anglian Water

    Anglian Water G (AWG) is one of the strongest performing water utilities in the UK, with a highly capable management team and a monopolistic position in a vast region of the country.

    Regulated utilities provide GLIL with predictable, inflation-linked cashflows in perpetuity.

    GLIL is well placed to increase its stake in AWG, given the ROFO rights that it now enjoys.
