Portfolio update

 

With regards to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the Company confirms it has no investments in Russia, Belarus or the Ukraine (none of which is an eligible jurisdiction) and is compliant with the international sanctions imposed on Russia.

 

As at 31 March 2022, the Company had cash of £94.50m and had drawn £121.40m on its £325m revolving credit facility. The Company also had undrawn commitments on existing investments collectively valued at £66.30m. The Company's invested portfolio consisted of 66 private debt investments and 10 infrastructure bonds across 8 sectors and 29 subsectors. It had an annualised yieldtomaturity (or yieldtoworst in the case of callable bonds) of 7.9% and a cash yield of 6.2%. The weighted average portfolio life is approximately 4.1 years. Private debt investments represented 95% of the total portfolio and 50% of the portfolio comprised floating rate assets. Investments which are preoperational represented 13% of total assets.

 

The Company's invested portfolio remains geographically diverse with 51% located across the US, 17% in the UK, 27% in Europe, and 5% in Australia/ New Zealand. Currently the Company is not investing in Portugal or Italy but has selectively invested in opportunities in Spain. The Company's pipeline of economic infrastructure debt investments remains strong and is diversified by sector, subsector, and jurisdiction. At month end, approximately 99% of the Company's NAV consisted of either Sterling assets or was hedged into Sterling. The Company has adequate resources to cover margin calls on its hedging book.

 

The Investment Advisor continues to focus on the Company's non-performing loans. In relation to the loans to Bulb and Salt Lake Potash, there is no material news this month, although work towards their resolution is ongoing. In the case of the loan backed by a private school in Washington DC, discussions in relation to a re-capitalisation of the asset have progressed and, when completed, will put the project on a more stable basis. The marks for Salt Lake Potash and the Washington school loan have remained approximately unchanged this month while the mark on the Bulb loan has slightly decreased. We calculate the mark through assessing a variety of different factors each month, some of which have been positive and some negative, with a net result in the mark of Bulb being slightly decreased this month.

 

The Company's settled investment activities during March include:

 

 

• An additional loan of £20m to Lightspeed Fibre Group Ltd, a highspeed Broadband provider in the UK;

• An additional loan of £10m to Project Spinnaker, another high-speed Broadband provider in the UK;

• An additional loan of £1.5m to Clyde Street, a hotel construction project in Scotland; and

• An additional $0.7m disbursement to Lanthanum, a leading developer of hyperscale data centres in the USA.

 

 

No assets sold or pre-paid in March.
