Sequoia Investment Management Company

What Sequoia Investment Management Company does

Sequoia Investment Management Company Limited (SIMCo) is a London-based private credit manager dedicated exclusively to infrastructure debt, founded in 2014. The firm invests through multiple credit cycles across a diversified, global portfolio of infrastructure loans spanning renewables, energy, transport, and utilities, and is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. SIMCo has deployed $6bn+ of capital across 250+ investments in 15 markets and 40 infrastructure sub-sectors, serving a base of more than 200 institutional investors. The firm claims to have defined the private infrastructure debt asset class and operates a multinational team focused on outperformance versus relevant benchmarks.

The company runs a multi-product platform: its flagship is the Sequoia Economic Infrastructure Income Fund (SEQI), the largest FTSE-250 listed credit fund investing in economic infrastructure debt. Alongside SEQI, SIMCo offers private strategies including the Sequoia Infrastructure Debt Fund (SIDF, a closed-ended investment-grade fund), CLOs, and Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). The platform combines a public listed vehicle with private placements, allowing the firm to address both listed equity buyers and qualified institutional investors seeking tailored infrastructure debt mandates.

SIMCo's revenue model is investment management fees calculated on assets under management across listed and private vehicles. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven, with a team of 200+ investors served through the listed fund and private fund relationships, supported by content marketing via the simcofunds.com website. The firm has no parent company, operates independently, and the investment adviser (SIMCo) holds a small (0.33%) stake in the listed SEQI fund, acquired partly in lieu of adviser fees. The customer base is institutional and concentrated in the infrastructure and power/energy sectors, with named borrowers including Pioneer Point Partners, Sustainable Development Capital, and Castleton Commodities International.
