Net Asset Value as at 29 April 2016 and Investment Update

Company update

As of the 29th April 2016, the Company held 17 infrastructure bonds and 19 private debt investments, collectively valued at £286.9m including accrued interest, with an annualised yield-to-maturity (or yield-to-worst in the case of callable bonds) of 8.1% and a weighted average life across the acquired portfolio of approximately 5.9 years.

The investments are diverse across the UK, Western Europe, Australia, Canada and the US and include a wide range of asset types including road, rail, utility, power, shipping, renewables and aircraft leasing.

Approximately 53% of the Company portfolio comprised of floating rate assets, with only four LIBOR floors (other than those at zero percent). As such the portfolio's yield is likely to increase over time if LIBOR increases.

Investments in April include senior secured bonds issued by All Aboard Florida, owner and developer of a privately-owned express passenger rail infrastructure project between Miami and Orlando. In addition, the company has made an incremental investment in Green Plains Processing LLC.

During the month, the Company had its position in Viridian Group Holdings 13.5% 2020 private bonds called by the issuer. The result was a 20.5% realised IRR (annualised) on a par amount of approximately £5m.

Company NAV performance

The decrease in Company NAV to 97.69p per share (ex-div) arose primarily through:

· Interest income net of expenses of 0.33p;

· A gain of 1.22p in asset valuations;

· A dividend declared of 1.50p; and

· A decline of 0.56p on net FX movements.

Portfolio Summary (15 largest settled investments)

Market Summary

April showed limited activity in the infrastructure debt sector with six transactions closing across the UK and Western Europe. Notable deals included the €830m refinancing of Italian Passante di Mestre toll road, as well as the €750m bond issuance by Spanish energy company Engas. In addition, the Foresight Solar Fund refinanced its acquisition facility through a £160m long-term debt facility.

Opportunities in selected markets remained strong with US spread widening providing scope to improve credit quality and shorten duration. The emergence of new asset classes over the longer term, such as broadband and electricity storage, are creating new demand for infrastructure financing.

Sterling continued strengthening against the US dollar during the month, moving from $1.44 to $1.46. Sterling remained relatively flat against the euro in April.

The Bloomberg USD High Yield Corporate Bond Index increased to 156 from 150. 10-year US Treasury yields increased over the month from 1.77% to 1.83%, following three months of consecutive decline.
