UK Infrastructure Giants Merge, Facing Shareholder Backlash
Update: 2025-11-18
Description
Two major British investment trusts, HICL Infrastructure and TRIG, plan to merge, creating the UKs largest listed infrastructure fund with assets over £5.3 billion. However, the deal faces criticism from CG Asset Management, which owns nearly 1% of HICL, calling it an exceptionally poor transaction that lacks strategic reason and would destroy value. Despite this, HICL and TRIG defend the merger, stating it offers greater scale and appeal to a wider range of investors, and represents a unique chance to capitalize on major trends in the infrastructure market.
