Newcore Capital X i3 – Waste not, want not: As circular economy investing accelerates, waste infrastructure is emerging as one of the most strategically important — and misunderstood — asset classes in global portfolios

category

Article, Featured, News

date

April 7, 2026

Hugo Llewelyn recently contributed to the Institutional Investing in Infrastructure (i3) piece by Chris Anderson highlighting the growing importance of waste infrastructure in global portfolios.

Once overlooked, the sector is now attracting increasing institutional capital, underpinned by non-discretionary demand, high barriers to entry and supportive regulation. As Hugo notes: “Society is relentlessly wasteful, and as a result, there is a profitable industry cleaning up, and in some cases recycling and reusing, the waste.”

At Newcore, the focus is on the real estate that enables this essential infrastructure: “It always requires an underlying property asset, building and the licenses that run with it for example where council contracting dustbin lorries are stored”. As the circular economy accelerates, waste infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important and investable part of resilient, long-term portfolios.

Infrastructure Investor x Newcore Capital – Can investors map out a road to success for EV charging infrastructure?

category

Article, Featured, News

date

March 18, 2026

Newcore Capital’s CEO, Hugo Llewelyn, was pleased to contribute to a recent article by Ben Payton in Infrastructure Investor, exploring how the global rollout of EV charging infrastructure is creating both opportunities and new complexities for investors.

The piece highlights a shift from “growth at any cost” towards more selective, utilisation-driven strategies, as investors navigate policy uncertainty and uneven EV adoption across regions. While the US has seen a slowdown following changes to subsidies, Europe and emerging markets continue to demonstrate stronger momentum.

At the asset level, fundamentals are becoming increasingly important. As Hugo notes in the article, a “bifurcation” is emerging – with larger service stations better positioned due to their ability to offer a broader retail and leisure experience while customers charge.

This is reflected in assets such as South Mimms MSA, owned by Newcore, which now provides 60 EV charging points alongside a strong convenience and retail offering – illustrating how scale and amenity can drive resilience and long-term relevance.

For real estate-backed strategies, this reinforces the importance of location and adaptability. By leasing sites to operators, assets can evolve over time, with operators flexing the balance between petrol and EV infrastructure as demand shifts – leaving landlords less exposed to changes in vehicle mix.

At Newcore, we believe disciplined capital deployment and a focus on high-quality, well-located assets will be key to long-term success as the market continues to evolve.

Read the report here.

This year’s report reaffirms our continued commitment to investing responsibly in UK social infrastructure, delivering risk-adjusted returns to pension fund and institutional clients, while enabling the delivery of affordable, socially useful, and environmentally resilient buildings all within governance-led fund structures.

Key highlights include:

82% of assets are delivering positive social and environmental outcomes

32 assets repositioned into social infrastructure
Over 2,000 nursery places and 500+ SEN school places created

Winner of Fund Manager of the Year and ESG Investor of the Year at the 2024 Property Week Awards

“This report captures our commitment to our three pillars around sustainable investing and demonstrates how long-term value creation comes from investing in assets that serve both people and the planet. It also shows the role that responsibly managed private capital can play in helping to close the gap in the UK’s social infrastructure by increasing its supply, improving its quality, and ensuring it is future-proofed,” Hugo Llewelyn, CEO & Founder.
