Schroders Greencoat, a Schroders Capital subsidiary investing in renewable energy infrastructure, has issued a new fund to meet mounting global demand for renewable energy. Categorised as an Article 9 vehicle under the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, Schroders Capital Semi-Liquid Energy Transition Fund will invest in large-scale wind and solar farms, and will focus on infrastructure required for the energy transition, such as clean hydrogen and battery storage. The semi-liquid structure of the fund will enable the Schroders to invest in illiquid infrastructure assets with a long-term perspective, providing investors with greater flexibility and operational simplicity. “The energy transition represents one of the largest and most relevant investment themes impacting clients’ portfolios, and as a result, it’s an exciting and attractive time to be accessing these types of investment,” said Duncan Hale, Portfolio Manager at Schroders Greencoat. “This fund highlights our commitment to expanding access to private assets and generating positive returns for our clients through directly allocating to energy transition infrastructure.”
