Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure Trust - Update from QuotedData
23rd August 2023
Utilities and infrastructure at low tide
In recent months, macroeconomic conditions have weighed on the utilities and infrastructure sectors and on the returns generated by Ecofin Global Utilities and Infrastructure (EGL). Now, as the peak of interest rates draws nearer and economic growth stutters, the tide may be about to turn in the trust's favour. EGL's manager, Jean-Hugues de Lamaze highlights the strong earnings of the companies in its portfolio (see pages 5 and 6), which have made some of these look even more undervalued.
In common with most London-listed investment companies, EGL has experienced some modest widening of its share price discount to net asset value (NAV) recently. The board is tackling this with share buy backs, but the current above-average discount does provide an opportunity for investors to get exposure to the trust at attractive levels.
