Why invest?

Why invest in FGEN?

Through a diversified portfolio of mature environmental infrastructure technologies, FGEN provides exposure to scarce but highly sought after assets, projects and businesses that deliver stable returns, long-term predictable income and opportunities for meaningful capital appreciation.

We have a resilient and long-term return profile, comprising a high and sustainable dividend yield as well as defensive NAV qualities.

We have an uninterrupted track record of dividend growth since IPO in 2014, underpinned by sustainable dividend coverage and, each year our assets generate enough clean energy to power hundreds of thousands of UK homes, reinforcing our commitment to decarbonisation and sustainability.

FGEN’s NAV is uniquely resilient to power prices and inflation compared to peers, while our diversified investment strategy across mature sectors, technologies and geographies provide more robust risk adjusted returns.

Our investment proposition

By prioritising long-term, stable and inflation-linked cash flows, we are well positioned to continue delivering attractive returns for our shareholders while supporting the transition to a more sustainable future.

01.

Highly diversified portfolio of environmental infrastructure assets

The Company is diversified across complementary sectors, technologies and geographies to deliver robust and attractive risk-adjusted returns. It invests across three key pillars of environmental infrastructure: renewable energy generation, other energy infrastructure and sustainable resource management.

The Company’s mandate allows it to invest in emerging areas of environmental infrastructure, provided they are sufficiently mature and display strong infrastructure characteristics.

02.

Delivering stable and predictable income with 12 years of uninterrupted dividend growth

We've set a dividend target at 8.04 pence per share for the current year to 31 March 2027. This represents the 12th consecutive increase since IPO and is expected to be well covered by distributions received from the Company’s investments.

We maintain one of the highest WADRs among peers, the lowest gearing and a strong pipeline of risk-adjusted opportunities across sectors.

Our income-led strategy is complemented by selective growth investments at both construction and operational stage, supported by targeted exits and capital recycling.

03.

Investment strategy supported by long-term megatrends

Investing in decarbonisation presents a rare convergence of financial opportunity and global impact. With c.€600 billion in capital required for Europe’s energy transition by 2030, the sector offers strong long-term return potential, supported by regulatory momentum, technological maturity and growing demand for sustainable solutions.

Our strategy principally targets high quality, mature assets that not only deliver predictable income alongside opportunities for growth, but also contribute meaningfully to climate goals.

04.

Active portfolio management approach and deep origination capabilities

FGEN benefits from an active portfolio management approach that focuses on enhancing value, optimising risk-adjusted returns and ensuring capital is allocated efficiently across the portfolio.

Through ongoing asset management, selective follow-on investment, disciplined capital recycling and operational performance improvements, the Investment Manager seeks to unlock additional value from existing assets while maintaining a resilient income base.

05.

Highly contracted income and low merchant exposure

A significant proportion of FGEN’s revenues are supported by long-term contracts, government-backed subsidy regimes and availability-based arrangements, providing strong visibility over future cash flows and reducing reliance on short-term power price movements.

This highly contracted income profile, combined with low merchant exposure, helps underpin the Company’s resilient earnings and supports its ability to deliver a stable and progressive dividend through different market conditions.

In addition, 51% of portfolio revenues are inflation-linked, providing a degree of protection against rising costs and helping to maintain the real value of shareholder returns over time.
