Introducing Asian Energy Impact Trust
The first of its kind
AEIT is the first impact-focused company on the LSE to be dedicated to investing in sustainable energy infrastructure projects that can help alleviate Asia’s expanding climate change issues.
By helping to fulfil the urgent need for infrastructure finance in Asia, the Company is tackling the global climate crisis with action where it is most required and most efficient, while also providing investors with access to private market opportunities which cannot be found via other listed equities.
Our commitment to investors
The Company aims to deliver positive and measurable social and environmental impact, along with consistent financial returns. We call this our triple return objective:
- Environmental returns: Protecting the environment and natural resources with significant greenhouse gas reduction
- Social returns: Delivering economic and social progress by building resilient communities and supporting purposeful activity – aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
- Financial returns: 10-12% NAV total return per annum, providing shareholders with an attractive yield and prospects for dividend growth and capital appreciation over the medium to long-term
Fulfilling these objectives
To fulfil these objectives, the Company is constructing and operating a portfolio of sustainable energy infrastructure assets and investing in construction ready and operational assets across renewable power generation, transmission infrastructure, energy storage and sustainable fuel production in the countries where it is most needed.
