ITinvestor — Wed, 12 May 2021 10:00:52 +0000

Gresham House Energy Storage Fund is one of the seventeen UK-listed renewable energy infrastructure trusts and currently boasts the best performance over the past 12 months. It’s still a pretty new company, only joining the market in November 2018. Most of my stake was bought in Spring and Summer 2019, followed by three smaller nibbles…

HICL Infrastructure: Dividend Growth On Hold

ITinvestor — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 10:30:57 +0000

HICL Infrastructure is the oldest UK-listed infrastructure trust and has a very respectable record of steady performance. But it’s had to stop increasing its dividend in the wake of the pandemic. This trust is one of my plodders — a collection of three holdings (Bluefield Solar Income and Gresham House Energy Storage being the others)…

A couple of negative broker notes have caused some pretty hefty share price declines in the renewable energy infrastructure sector this week. One of my holdings, Bluefield Solar Income, has been hit the hardest and I’ve been tempted into a tiny top-up. Having been wakened from my usual slumber, I thought it was worth departing…

I took a small position in Bluefield Solar Income Fund last year and I’ve just topped up following a very pleasing set of results.

No Blackouts At Gresham House Energy Storage

ITinvestor — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 11:30:19 +0000

Gresham House Energy Storage is one of three renewable/infrastructure trusts that I hold. It’s the young pup of the trio, having listed late last year. Its progress has been a little bit slow to date, but it seems to be moving in the right direction. I first covered this trust in an article last year,…

SDCL Energy Efficiency Income Trust, or SEEIT, is one of the newest members of the renewable infrastructure sector that has been hoovering up investors’ cash these past few years.

Usually an investment trust offers either income or growth. But new kid on the recycling block, Gresham House Energy Storage Fund, appears to offer both -- with a 7% yield and the prospect of 8% capital growth. Too good to be true?

Bluefield Solar Income Fund: A New Dawn

ITinvestor — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 14:43:25 +0000

I've taken a small position in Bluefield Solar Income. Yielding over 6%, it's near the tipping point of unsubsidised solar power in the UK.
