Schroders Greencoat has launched a long-term asset fund (LTAF) dedicated to renewables and energy transition infrastructure investments across the UK, US, and Europe. The Schroders Greencoat Global Renewables+ LTAF will deploy capital across wind and solar assets, as well as a range of energy transition projects including hydrogen, heating and storage. Schroders highlighted that LTAFs hold the advantage of being regulated, open-ended investment vehicles designed to enable a broader range of long-term investors to invest in illiquid and private markets. “We are pleased to be introducing this LTAF, which will offer investors a powerful combination of strong returns potential with a unique risk profile, while directing essential capital towards decarbonising and electrifying our energy sources,” said Duncan Hale, Portfolio Manager at Schroders Greencoat. “Alongside wind and solar, a dedicated portion of this portfolio also taps into newer technologies associated with energy-transition-related infrastructure, like hydrogen and district heating, which have the potential to generate superior returns across a longer period.” Greencoat is the specialist renewables and energy transition infrastructure manager of Schroders Capital.
