Investment thesis

Greencoat UK Wind is a listed renewable infrastructure investment trust specializing in UK wind farm investment and operations. As the first listed fund of its kind, it targets high-quality renewable energy infrastructure with a focus on long-term, stable returns and disciplined asset management. Its strategy aims to deliver a sustainable annual dividend that rises with CPI inflation while preserving the portfolio's real capital value over the long term through reinvestment of excess cashflow. The fund is managed by Schroders Greencoat LLP, a European renewable investment manager, and overseen by an independent board with expertise spanning energy policy, listed fund governance, and commercial strategy.
