Our vision and beliefs

Our ambition in infrastructure debt is to further build upon our position as a market leader in the European mid-market infrastructure debt space, leveraging our early mover advantage which has given the platform a sourcing edge and delivered investors efficient deployment of capital in high-quality transactions. Looking forward, we anticipate further evolution in the European infrastructure debt space, with strong growth expected across all infrastructure sub-sectors.

Our ambition for Schroders Greencoat is to be a global leader in the fast-growing alternative asset class of energy transition infrastructure, building on our capabilities in the UK, Europe and the US. We continue to broaden our technology remit and outside our historical core markets of wind, solar and bioenergy, we are investing into new technology opportunities that the push to net zero will bring, such as, for example, hydrogen and battery storage.
