JLIF seeks buyers as infra funds see £30bn future

John Laing Infrastructure Fund (JLIF), now a £550m company, completed a £60.4m primary capital raise this week, with its founding shareholder taking the opportunity to sell down some of its shares in a separate, £30m secondary sale. The deal is one of a hatful from the rapidly growing listed infrastructure sector and the fund’s managers told EuroWeek that efforts to find new investors are paying off.
