Managed by 3i Investments plc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3i Group plc, the trust targets core economic infrastructure assets primarily across Europe and North America. Its investment strategy centers on acquiring equity stakes in mid-market, unquoted companies operating in the utilities, transportation, energy, and social infrastructure sectors.
The company's revenue is generated through capital appreciation and dividend income from its portfolio holdings, which include businesses involved in renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and essential services. Key investments have included assets such as ESVAGT, Infinis, Joulz, and Tampnet, as well as data center operations like the Lefdal Mine Datacenter. 3i Infrastructure typically seeks equity investments exceeding £50 million, aiming for long-term value creation through active asset management and board representation. By focusing on low-risk, inflation-linked infrastructure projects, the trust aims to provide shareholders with a sustainable total return and a progressive annual dividend. As an externally managed investment vehicle, it leverages the extensive resources and expertise of the broader 3i Group to source, execute, and manage its infrastructure investments.
