Positive initial press coverage

Press coverage highlights

The media’s reaction to the launch of the ThomasLloyd Energy Impact Trust has been overwhelmingly positive. We’ve gathered some of the best links and quotes here.

In an unusual move, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said it would invest up to £25m in the launch as part of its efforts to encourage asset managers to support environmental investments in developing countries.
Financial Times
But let’s be honest here. If we are going to move the dial on carbon emissions, the real focus moving forward can’t be on incrementally adding a few extra gigawatts of UK solar or wind output – valuable though that is – but on curbing emissions in fast-growing India, China and the wider ASEAN region (including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam).
Citywire Investment Trust Insider
“The UK government recognised under the MOBILIST programme that the whole idea of the programme is to mobilise institutional capital in unlisted vehicles," Nandita Sahgal-Tully, managing director, infrastructure investment, told Investment Week.

They recognise that coming alongside funds that are targeting these areas would give confidence to other institutional investors that, as a listed product, this was right for the markets.
Investment Week
Downing Street has made an “in-principle decision” to provide seed investments of up to £25m (€30m) for the ThomasLloyd Energy Impact Trust.
Ignites Europe
The putative ThomasLloyd investment trust, trading with the ticker TLEI, is ground-breaking for one obvious reason: there are plenty of UK, European and even US renewable energy funds, but none is focused entirely on emerging markets such as India and the Philippines.

In an unusual move, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said it would invest up to £25m in the launch as part of its efforts to encourage asset managers to support environmental investments in developing countries.

UK retail investors will be invited to join the fundraising alongside the government and other backers, via investment platforms, ThomasLloyd said.

The move, announced by the government during COP26 in Glasgow, comes after chancellor Rishi Sunak laid out his ambition for the UK as a centre of green finance, calling for financial firms to “mobilise private finance quickly and at scale”.

ThomasLloyd Energy Impact will also be the first vehicle of its kind on the London Stock Exchange.
