Summary for April 2022 (pence per share)
Net interest income +0.54p
Change in portfolio valuations -0.04p
Net NAV Movement +0.50p
Portfolio Activity
At 30(th) April 2022, the Company's invested portfolio had an aggregate
valuation of £130 million across 33 investments. The average yield was 8.57%,
with a weighted average loan life remaining of 2.07 years. Overall, the
portfolio is 94% invested in private market assets and 6% in public bonds. The
Investment Manager's focus on creating a portfolio of high yielding and short
duration loans that do no hold significant exposure to interest rate
movements, ensures the portfolio remains well positioned against any further
interest rate increases by global central banks. The portfolio has no direct
exposure to Russia or Ukraine.
The month of April 2022 was relatively quiet in terms of new investments and
repayments, with two additional drawdowns under committed facilities (ref. 88
& 76) totalling c.£0.8 million.
The Investment Manager continues to structure several pipeline opportunities
within RMII's core investment sectors. As previously communicated the coupon
on these loans will be linked to Bank of England Base Rate or Sonia, thus
extending the portfolio maturity whilst not increasing duration.
Company Activity
The Good Economy provided its first annual Impact Report for RM Infrastructure
Income, which measured RMII's performance against its stated impact objectives
relating to UN Sustainable Development Goals. The report made several key
findings, including an increase in the average portfolio impact score,
industry-leading levels of regional loan distribution, the supporting of
c.1,115 jobs through the current loan portfolio, and high transparency levels
through RMII's impact reporting.
The Good Economy provided several recommendations for RMII to continue its
progress and maximise its impact, including to set a target date for 100% of
its portfolio to be aligned with its impact objectives.
The full set of results, conclusions and recommendations from the report is
available https://rm-funds.co.uk/rm-infrastructure-income/investor-relations/

The Company also announces that the Monthly Report for the period to 30 April
2022 is now available to be viewed on the Company website:
