Across power grids, water networks, transport systems and industrial capacity, a new capital cycle is taking shape. Governments are launching large-scale infrastructure and decarbonisation programmes, while companies reshore production, rebuild inventories and invest in more resilient supply chains.
The result is a renewed focus on investment in the physical assets that keep economies running.
These assets form the ‘atoms' of Royal London Asset Management's elemental framework for assessing the investment landscape. Within this framework, Beguelin believes that energy transition, infrastructure renewal and the drive for more resilient supply chains are driving sustained demand for companies upgrading grids, transport, water systems and industrial capacity, with clear implications for earnings and capital allocation.
