Risk, return and sustainability: the three dimensions of successful investment
Infrastructure is a cornerstone of future economic development. Assets such as smart grids, storage and fibre networks are becoming critical to support the triple revolution that the UK is facing: the energy transition, urban mobility, and the digitalisation of services.
For UK pension schemes moving towards their end game, private credit such as infrastructure debt, real estate debt and direct lending can offer an attractive risk/return profile and a source of regular contractual income. Accessing a diversified, or multi private credit, strategy delivered through a pooled solution, is now a reality that most schemes of all sizes can take advantage of to meet their long-term objectives.

At Schroders, we believe we have certain responsibilities as investors and as guardians of our clients’ assets. That’s why we seek to actively influence corporate behaviour to ensure the companies we invest in are managed in a sustainable way. This means not just looking at what our investments are doing, but how they’re doing day-to-day. This helps us better protect and enhance the value of our clients’ investments.
We work with companies to find out how prepared they are for the changing world
We engage with companies to influence behaviour and adapt for the changing world
We use our voice to make sure these changes are happening
Below is an example using the auto industry to help explain how active ownership works at Schroders.
Our investors regularly speak with the management of auto companies about what they’re doing to adapt to new environmental regulation and develop more electric vehicles.
The sustainability investment team has collaborated with other investors to take a closer look at how companies are re-skilling their workforce for the shift to electric vehicles.
Drawing on the specialist knowledge and insight gained through dialogue and engagement, we have chosen to vote against some boards who are slow to adapt to this changing environmental regulation.
Knowing how to put these sustainability principles into practice is what unlocks value for you. Our reports detail the work that our teams do across the business to ensure your money is being managed in a responsible and sustainable way.
Schroders is a world-class asset manager operating from 37 locations across Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
