How we invest
For the past 14 years Dalmore has focused on investing in infrastructure that provides services critical to the functioning of society.
Through disciplined selection Dalmore funds have invested in lower volatility assets without significant exposure to GDP, traffic, usage or market price risk. Geographically Dalmore’s focus remains the UK, although we also manage assets in Europe and North America.
Looking forward, the UK mid-market core and core-plus segment continues to be our main focus, which we believe offers opportunities where disciplined underwriting, a thorough analysis of market exposure and local market expertise may support attractive risk-adjusted returns.
