Don't disagree with anything you say Guitarsolo - but the entire UK PLC infra sector is currently is meltdown and the HICL/TRIG announcement is the latest attempt to stem the flow of capital from the sector (driven by a bit of self interest from the investment managers). There is certainty an appetite for infra asset purchases from pensions funds - BBGI as you noted - and also recently Royal London picked up privately owned Dalmore Capital which managed a £6 billion infrastructure portfolio including the Thames Tideway Tunnel, 24 operational wind farms in the UK with total capacity of 562MW, and significant PPP/PFI assets.
Royal London, commented: "Royal London is the personal pension provider most recommended by Independent Financial Advisers*. By acquiring Dalmore Capital, we can offer our individual and workplace pension savers access to the long-term, stable returns that infrastructure investments can potentially provide. Additionally, it demonstrates our commitment to invest in assets that support the UK’s drive for economic growth and an innovative, sustainable future."
INPP is certainly one of the few remaining infra funds with operational scale, longevity, investment pipeline and inflation linked cash flows. SB
