UK Water utilities were major contributors to 2025 performance, benefiting from positive regulatory outcomes and strong sector gains.
Ferrovial and Italgas delivered standout results, supported by robust toll road performance (Ferrovial) and merger synergies plus easing sector concerns (Italgas).
US utilities underperformed due to regulatory setbacks, litigation issues and attempts to halt offshore wind developments.
Key risks for 2026 include rising electricity costs driven by AI‑related demand growth, political sensitivity around tariffs, and broader geopolitical uncertainty.
Airports look well‑positioned, supported by record expected aircraft deliveries in 2026 and a large ongoing jet backlog.
Portfolio positioning favours Europe/UK based on valuation, with emerging opportunities in North American utilities and European telco towers such as Cellnex.
