Schroders Greencoat launched Long-Term Asset Fund

Schroders Greencoat, the specialist renewables and energy transition infrastructure manager of Schroders Capital has launched Schroders Greencoat Global Renewables+ Long-Term Asset Fund (LTAF).

This is the UK’s first LTAF exclusively dedicated to renewable energy and energy transition infrastructure, and a landmark opportunity for UK pension savers to invest in this strategically important asset class while benefitting from stable, diversifying and inflation-linked investment returns.

The new fund will target infrastructure supporting the energy transition across the UK, US, and Europe, providing access to attractive, long-term investments in private markets. It will deploy capital across wind and solar assets, as well as a range of energy transition assets including hydrogen, heating and storage.

LTAFs are regulated, open-ended investment vehicles designed to enable a broader range of investors, with longer-term horizons, to invest efficiently in illiquid and private markets. Their structure is particularly suitable for the UK defined contribution (DC) and UK charities markets, providing savers with access to a previously untapped opportunity, as well as through defined benefit (DB) pension schemes.
