A deviating Net Asset Value (NAV) is used for the calculation of the performance figures. This NAV is calculated based on closing prices of the Fund investments thereby deviating from the NAV which was originally issued and partly calculated based on snapshots (Asia & Pacific investments). The deviating NAV is used to make a better comparison with the benchmark, which is also solely based on closing prices of the investments.
However, for the calculation of the performance of 30 November 2021 the originally issued NAV of 1 December 2021 was used as the deviating NAV could not be calculated due to technical circumstances. Also for the calculation of the performance of 31 December 2021 the originally issued NAV of 3 January 2022 was used as the deviating NAV could not be calculated due to technical circumstances.
Performance is shown after deduction of ongoing charges. The value of your investments may fluctuate. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.

Developments per 2021-12-31
It has been three years since we launched our listed infrastructure strategy. It has been a great journey, and we are proud that we generated more than 13% annualized return (net, I share class), c.160bps above the benchmark. We were able to more than double our AuM each year, and invested capital was just shy of EUR 100m at the end of 2021. We want to thank our investors for their support, and are committed to build our track-record further.
Following two strong years, 2021 was more challenging for us. Although we generated a strong absolute return of more than 21% (net, I share class), we lagged the benchmark by c.2.6% impacted by a weak last quarter.
Energy Transport Infrastructure stocks (Pipeline companies) have benefitted materially from the rally in energy prices. As a result, this sub-sector was up 45% in 2021. The performance was followed by US data infrastructure (+43%) and European Utilities (+32%). The only region that realized a negative return last year was Japan (-8%).
For 2021, our top picks were Cheniere (+82%), International Container Terminal (+68%) and Williams (46%), while the weakest performance came from China Gas (-42%), West Japan Railway (-8%) and Tokyo Gas (-15%). In line with stock selection, we saw the strongest relative performance in US Pipelines, followed by EU Transport and Communication, which was however more than offset by mainly Hong Kong and Japan.
For December, the FTSE Global Listed Infrastructure 50/50 index was up more than 6%, realizing a strong rally into year end. The rally was fueled by utilities, US communication towers and Hong Kong. The Fund was up 5.6% in December, hence underperforming the index. The underperformance was mainly driven by our investments in Asian emerging markets, US pipelines and US data infrastructure.
On a stock level, the biggest positive contribution came from:
1) China Gas Holdings (+14%) which recovered some of its losses post H1 results at the end of November;
2) Entergy’s (+11%) rate case was approved in Arkansas, which was a small positive; and
3) American Tower (+11%) on no specific company news, but the sector was strong into year-end.
The biggest negative contribution came from:
1) Airports of Thailand (-7%), on no company specific news, but worries about Omicron variant weighed on the stock;
2) Cheniere (-4%); and
3) Williams (-2%) traded both lower on lower gas prices without company specific news.
The Kempen infrastructure investment strategy strikes a balance between qualitative, quantitative, sustainability 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 equally weighted 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 Global 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 macro-economic exposure versus the benchmark.

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.
Climate change
As a long-term investor, we believe climate change represents a systemic risk facing the economy, society and environment. We want to consider the risks and opportunities this presents to our investments in the coming decades. We have therefore set a long-term commitment (2050), a mid-term ambition (2030) and short-term objectives (2025).
- 2050 commitment: Net-zero investor.  Â
- 2030 ambition: To align with a Paris Agreement pathway (listed and non-listed investments) and Dutch Klimaatakkoord.  Â
- 2025 objectives: To align with a pathway towards achieving the Paris Agreement (listed investments) and Dutch Klimaatakkoord goals.[1]
Â
The Kempen climate change policy can be found here (under climate change policy).
Â
[1]We use carbon intensity as a metric to come to the pathway of net-zero emissions. As we care about the direction of travel and reduction of carbon emissions in the economy, it might be that the actual reducing trend may deviate from the suggested average trend line. The pathway is derived from the pathway of the EU Benchmarks.
Our fund approach to responsible investment
Kempen’s ESG policy is fully implemented in our fund’s investment process across the three relevant pillars of: Exclusion, Integration and Active ownership.
Â
1. Exclusion
In line with the general Kempen policy, the fund excludes all companies on the KCM exclusion- or avoidance list. Companies on these lists are either involved in the production of controversial weapons, derive a significant portion of their revenues from the production or distribution of tobacco, or have been involved in serious controversies. In addition, we exclude pure coal players and pure players involved in tar sands, as these activities have an adverse impact on climate change.
Â
2. 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. We reward companies that integrate climate risks and opportunities into their organisation, and are able to move towards a low-carbon economy.
-
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.
Â
3. Active ownership
With regard to climate change, we engage generally and take a sector-specific approach for the most carbon-intensive companies and sectors (e.g. oil and gas, utilities), as these count for the largest part of the global carbon emissions.
