We have established UIL as a broader based investor, and have sponsored the creation of several investment platforms which have allowed UIL to benefit from a sharper focus and in-depth knowledge of segments of the market.
Utilico Emerging Markets Trust plc was the first UIL sponsored platform. UIL has supported the formation of Somers Limited (financial services); Zeta Resources Limited (commodities); and Bermuda First Investment Company Limited (Bermuda centric assets). In addition, UIL has established a strong track record of investing in the FinTech space, creating the Allectus Technology platform to capitalise on this position. These platforms continue to make pleasing progress.
