Inclusion in FTSE 250 Index

 

The Board of Utilico Emerging Markets Trust plc ("UEM" or the "Company") is
pleased to confirm that UEM has joined the FTSE 250 index with effect from
today.

 

Mark Bridgeman, Chairman of UEM said: "This important milestone is a strong
testament to the Company's unique long term strategic focus of investing in
infrastructure and utilities within emerging markets and the experience of the
dedicated management team.

 

"Since UEM's inception in 2005 to 30 November 2025, UEM has reported a NAV
total return of 526.0% (9.4% per annum) outperforming the MSCI EM total return
index in Sterling terms which was up 395.8% (8.2% per annum)."

 

Charles Jillings & Jacqueline Broers, Joint Portfolio Managers of UEM
added: "Since inception, UEM has grown from £75m to £489m in market
capitalisation and has maintained a consistent investment thesis throughout by
investing in bottom-up, cash flow generative businesses in infrastructure and
utilities across emerging markets.

 

"We continue to see a broad range of exciting investment opportunities across
emerging markets and it is encouraging to see so many of UEM's investee
companies continuing to be resilient, as well as adaptive, whilst remaining
focussed on delivering compounding growth over the long term."
