GLIL is continuing in to grow thanks to an additional £400m in commitments it has received from existing investors.
Coming from LGPS stalwarts such as LPPI, West Yorkshire Pension Fund, Merseyside Pension Fund and the Greater Manchester Pension Fund, these demonstrate the continued commitment from its partners to growing their shared infrastructure portfolio.
The capital from its investors will enable GLIL to continue investing in essential UK infrastructure through an approach designed around the priorities of pension funds – combining strong governance, long-term ownership and sustainable value creation.
Founded in 2015, the fund has grown into an organisation with £4.5bn in committed capital spanning assets such as renewable energy, utilities, ports, logistics, trains, digital infrastructure, hospitals and schools.
It’s now looking to expand its member base, using its scale and its expertise to help more pension funds efficiently access the benefits of investing in UK infrastructure.
GLIL’s head of direct infrastructure Jonathan Ord said: “Our ability to collaborate is what sets us apart. We uniquely combine pension funds’ resources and expertise to create real scale, and connect with other partners to help them efficiently invest directly in UK infrastructure.
“Our first decade has shown the strength of our approach, and we’re excited to use this additional capital to keep building on this, as we have done through our recent investments in digital infrastructure and transport infrastructure.
“Our pipeline will remain broad, but with a particular focus on the energy transition and digitalisation – areas where the UK needs significant investment – and we’ll be exploring ways we can start to take on additional construction risk, applying the operational experience we’ve built within our team.”
