I've a much bigger position in INPP and BBGI than HICL now - but still a large enough position in HICL Stupidly I thought I'd wait until the divi before further lightening it - doh

Profitable US tollroad partial disposal:

They talk of "active capital recycling", but they didn't use the term until late last year. I suppose it's a viable strategy when they haven't access to new equity.

Excellent article from IC. HICL is mentioned though the piece deals generally with ITs and the fact so many are trading at a discount to their assets. The author seems to feel that the discounts currently available on Infrastructure ITs will not endure.

As a holder of HICL it is depressing to see continued share price fall recently. There doesn't seem to be any catalyst for this?

From memory HICL/INPP/BBGI all assume one year of high inflation and then that it drops like a stone Looking more persistent today - further room for NAV growth especially if we get higher for longer inflation but long gilts don't move out much

One years cash cover gives a myopic view of divi cover - I prefer Project NPV less management fees adjusted for share price discount or premium - which gets me to 6.55 discount rate for HICL which implies a 1.24x over the divi I get 1.29 for INPP and 1.14x for BBGI (though it's projects are almost all availability so less risky)

@unastubbs HICL may be thought of as a "bond proxy", but there are all sorts of complicated things happening under the surface. Multiple projects, each with their own costs and risks. Changing costs of debt, changing discount rates, change in profitability of "demand based" assets which comprise part of the portfolio.

The stated inflation correlation is 0.8x, but there's different measures of inflation and each is just an average of a different basket of items. So you could look at one measure of inflation, HICL revenues could be linked to another and its costs could be linked to another one again

Bearing all this in mind, cover of 1.03x (at last statement) is pretty thin and doesn't give much margin for contingencies. For comparison, INPP quoted 1.3x at last statement (albeit not a comparable period)

HICL has increased divi every year since IPO, so will want to hold onto that record

Acquisition:

Small (2% of HICL's portfolio) but another diversificaton away from PPI and the UK.

Interim update:

https://www.investegate.co.uk/hicl-infrastructure--hicl-/rns/interim-update-statement/202303030700047417R/

All seems to be bang in line. Annual dividend of 8.25p will be cash covered.
This is interesting:

Given persisting macro-economic volatility, the Company is, by exception to the normal valuation cycle, providing an unaudited Net Asset Value per share as at 31 December 2022 of 165.8p , a 1.5 pence increase relative to 30 September 2022.

Normally they would update NAV in September and March, and only make an exception if a fundraising were being mulled. That's unlikely right now, but maybe they wish?
