“The Art of 'Sweating the Asset' Central to Macquarie's approach with Southern Water is the strategy of 'sweating the asset.' This tactic involves maximizing financial returns from a public utility. It’s akin to extracting every possible benefit from a resource, here symbolized by Southern Water, which is squeezed for its fiscal potential.” #waterscandal #sewagescandal

Every new regulatory period brings plenty of hand-wringing with it, but this time, things feel genuinely different for the #uk #water sector. Battered by years of negative headlines, plagued by poor performance, and rocked by the coma into which Thames Water has been plunged, the sector's investability is very much a live question. Zak Bentley and Kalliope Gourntis gather insight from Colm Gibson of Berkeley Research Group, Yeshvir Singh of Fitch Ratings, Will Price of Macquarie Asset Management, Oleg Shamovsky of Arjun Infrastructure Partners, Lee Mellor of Ancala, Johnathan Owen, CFA of TwentyFour Asset Management LLP, Ofwat and many more.

💧💰🇺🇸U.S. water #utilities are heading for the M&A rapids after years of only a trickle of #deals. An acrimonious four-way, transcontinental battle to create the nation's third-largest water entity has seized the attention of industry executives gathered for an annual confab in Minneapolis this week. States like #California are trying to push their smaller operators together. Even energy firms are considering #H2O deals. #water #waterscarcity #watercrisis #tech #watertech #startup #innovation #future #sustainability #environment #technology #investment #capital #research #unitednations #climatechange https://lnkd.in/gCcN6FdA

Today RSK Group has secured an investment of £800 million (£500m preferred equity and a £300m incremental increase on our debt facility) to further support our growth plans. I think about this investment as a huge endorsement to what we’re doing but also a big responsibility. What I see day to day though are fantastic opportunities for RSK, which gives me all the confidence that we’ll continue achieving great things in the future. Focusing on our M&A strategy remains my top priority. With this new investment, our proposition to potential partners is stronger than ever. We remain a values-driven, entrepreneurial organization, now equipped with the necessary resources to realize our 2030 Global Strategy and foster expansive growth for both our existing group companies and those that will join us in the future. #RSKGroup #Investment #Growth #Sustainability #Innovation https://lnkd.in/ebdXrifa

🚀 Great news arrived yesterday on RSK Group receiving a significant investment to fund the next stage of its growth.

The annual infrastructure investment gap from 2022 to 2040 is US$650bn, increasing at an average pace of 3% annually. Advocates for sustainable infra investing have pointed to this mismatch for pretty much the past decade, yet still it persists. Despite the apparently baked-in demand, infra is struggling. Hamilton James, the former vice chair of Blackstone Group, stated in a recent article in the Financial Times. “My guess is we are in a part of the cycle where returns will be lower. Rising rates and high stock prices make it harder to do interesting deals and there is a lot of capital chasing after investments”. We therefore have an anomaly of both too much and too little capital. How long can this persist? #infrastructure #funds #investing #esg Kevin Addison Jeremy Robinson Claire Owens Lee Clements Detlef Glow https://lnkd.in/ehs_x4na

As part of our commitment to responsible investment, we offer interest rate discounts of up to 0.15% for borrowers who obtain an independent energy rating for their property during their loan term. We accept ratings from recognised providers, such as NABERS and Green Star. Why do we do this? Energy ratings assist property owners in pinpointing opportunities to lower energy usage and reduce carbon emissions. Enhancing these ratings is increasingly crucial for boosting market appeal, cutting operational costs, increasing tenant satisfaction, complying with future regulations, and supporting sustainability initiatives.
