GLIL invests in core infrastructure assets predominantly in the UK. The Fund is managed to achieve an investment performance at the portfolio level, net of all fees, that matches or exceeds UK CPI + 4-6% over a rolling ten-year period.

Our investments are expected to have most of the following characteristics:

Substantially backed by durable physical assets
Long life and low risk of obsolescence
Identifiable and reliable cash flows that are explicitly or implicitly inflation-linked
Returns that are largely isolated from the business cycle and competition
Returns that show limited correlation to other asset classes

GLIL was designed by the founding members to better address their needs than many of the commercially available alternatives:

Long-term ownership
Strong governance
Pooling of resources
Lower fees

GLIL is led by an experienced team of professionals. The Executive Committee comprises investment professionals from the founding members, who collectively have a track record of successfully managing investments and asset management businesses in both the private and public sectors over many years.

They are supported by LPPI's 14-strong infrastructure investment team who manage a growing portfolio of diverse assets.
