Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure Trust - Annual Overview from QuotedData
20th December 2024
Virtues of diversification
Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure Trust (EGL) has continued to generate impressive returns despite broader macro-economic challenges which include stubborn inflation, rising geopolitical concerns, and issues around renewable energy policy in the US. Over the 12 months to 30 November, the portfolio delivered a NAV total return of 20.5% and a share price total return of 22.1%. This highlights the value of its diversified approach with exposure across multiple sectors and geographies allowing it to capitalise on the drivers fuelling the energy transition and global infrastructure cycle.
We continue to believe that the earnings growth potential of the utilities and infrastructure sectors in which EGL invests, driven in particular by the acceleration in total electricity demand growth, provides an attractive opportunity for investors. This is made even more compelling given the underlying valuation of the portfolio, which is significantly cheaper than the benchmark.
