Market developments per 2020-04-30
The market recovered some of its ground in April as the various government and central bank implemented measures to support the economy and financial system. The FTSE Global Listed Infrastructure 50/50 index was up 8.3% in April, while the Fund outperformed the index.
As Q1 earnings season has started, investors are hoping to find more datapoints to measure the initial impact of COVID-19 and economic consequences. Although the impact of the lockdown on the Q1 financials is still modest, the impact in Q2 will be severe for certain infrastructure subsectors. Passenger numbers for European airports have declined approximately 95% in April, and also volumes on toll roads is down more than 70%. On the other hand, full-year guidance of utilities and communication infrastructure is often reiterated with the Q1 results despite COVID-19.
Most noticeable was the strong recovery of the pipeline companies during April. Our holdings in Cheniere (+39%), Inter Pipeline (+39%) and Williams (+37%) contributed positively to our performance. Cheniere’s management reiterated its 2020 guidance with the Q1 results, showing the stability of its income stream given the take-or-pay contracts. What is more, Vinci showed a decent performance (11%) in the European transportation sector as it reported flat YoY revenue for Q1, which was better than the market expected. In addition, tower operator Cellnex showed the market that it is still able to expand its portfolio and announced the acquisition of NOS’ telecom sites mid-April.

Portfolio developments per 2020-04-30
The Kempen infrastructure investment strategy strikes the balance between qualitative and quantitative analysis. Our experience and know-how in the area of infrastructure and legislation in combination with extensive data analysis, is converted into fact-based investment decision-making. Our unique valuation analysis and investment process focuses on the long-term, carefully following megatrends such as digitization, urbanization and the energy transition. Next to the quantitative approach the investment strategy contains three key qualitative parameters that determine the warranted valuation: management added value, Infrastructure regulation / quality and ESG. The portfolio managers score each company covered on these three parameters. Companies that excel in ESG for example will be assigned a higher score and hence the warranted valuation for an investment increases.
Portfolio construction of the Strategy is based on cluster neutrality. The portfolio has 12 clusters. Examples are Australia, NA Pipelines and European utilities. The portfolio weight of each cluster is approximately equal to the cluster’s benchmark weight. This ensures a diversified portfolio and neutralizes currency and macroeconomic exposure versus the benchmark.
In April, we sold our remaining position in CSX and reinvested the proceeds in Union Pacific. In addition, we reduced our exposure to Inter Pipeline, and rotated towards Pembina.

Kempen's vision & mission
Kempen Capital Management is an asset manager that believes in stewardship and investment focusing on the long-term for the benefit of all stakeholders. Value creation is at the heart of the services we provide to our clients. We believe that being an engaged shareholder on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and retaining a long-term focus, is critical to helping our clients to preserve and create sustainable wealth that has positive real world impact and economic returns.
Kempen wide approach to responsible investment
We are committed to create sustainable alpha. The four pillars of our ESG-policy are:
-
ESG integration: Ensuring sustainability risks and opportunities are adequately considered in our investment analysis and processes.
-
Exclusion & avoidance: Not investing in companies involved in controversial activities or conduct.
-
Active ownership: Being responsible stewards of our clients’ capital and using our influence through engagement and voting to improve corporate behaviour on specific ESG issues and achieve positive change
-
Positive impact: Investing with an objective to achieve positive real world outcomes and impact, such as contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Â
To put our mission and vision into practice we engage with our investee companies on a wide array of strategic, financial, and ESG topics. As an active owner we use our influence to improve our investee companies’ ESG performance. This helps us address some of the most pressing and important sustainability issues facing business and the world. Our focus themes for engagement are: human rights, labour rights, climate change and governance.
Â
Through collaboration with other investors and industry think tanks we contribute to the development of principles and standards of corporate responsibility both at sector levels, as well as investee company level.
Â
Our full voting records are available here.
Our fund approach to responsible investment
Kempen’s ESG policy is fully implemented in our fund’s investment process with the key pillar being our approach to ESG integration.
Â
1. ESG integration
The Kempen Global Listed Infrastructure Fund has purposefully designed its investment process to systematically embed ESG risks and opportunities since inception.
Â
The investment philosophy of the fund is to generate long-term alpha using three simple pillars – Optimizing the Risk/Return equation, Management Quality, and ESG performance. As part of the ESG pillar, our fund is positioned to benefit from developments arising from action on climate change, including the ambitions laid out in COP24 in late 2018 (pressing towards 1.5OC), and from support for several of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals set out in 2015.
Â
Some high-level examples of how the portfolio integrates ESG considerations include:Â
-
Environmental - Our low carbon investments in the Energy, Utilities and Transportation sectors are consistent with Article 8 of COP21, which encourages stakeholders to participate in the energy transition and Article 2 of COP21, which encourage low carbon investments.
-
Social – Our portfolio’s investments in Utilities (renewables capacity), Power transmission (addressing energy poverty), and Transportation (Road & Rail infrastructure) are all consistent with UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 relating to Clean Energy, and Goal 9 relating to the build out of resilient Infrastructure.
-
Governance - Finally, Governance structures, alignment, and governance history, contribute directly into our framework for assessing management quality. This is integrated into every single investment we have, across all sectors.
Â
Our team brings with it extensive experience in successfully engaging with companies on ESG issues, connections with broad ESG networks that include a number of NGOs (Green Peace, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International), and recognition from opinion leaders on sustainability issues such as 45th Vice President of the United States, Al Gore.
