Covid-19 update
GCP Infra, the only UK listed fund focused primarily on investments in UK infrastructure debt, seeks to provide investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of UK infrastructure projects, which are by their nature long-term investments.
The Directors and the Company's Investment Adviser, Gravis, believe such investments are well placed to weather the uncertainty driven by Covid-19 over the long term. Substantially all of the Company's investments are availability-based infrastructure assets and therefore are not currently expected to be materially impacted by the reduced demand for goods and services that is occurring as a result of restrictions on the movement of people.
Any potential impact is likely to be limited to: (i) short-term reductions in asset performance which may result from the reduced availability of personnel responsible for operating, managing or maintaining assets, or spare parts; and (ii) the impact of any short-term reductions to electricity prices. The Investment Adviser does not currently consider these to be material risks to the Company's ability to continue to meet its key long-term objective of providing shareholders with regular, sustained, long-term dividends and the preservation of capital over the long term.
At the date of this announcement the Company's investments continue to perform in-line with the Investment Adviser's expectations.
A further announcement will be made in due course, if appropriate.
