Recommendation – Attractive risk-adjusted returns - Yield of 12%

We are sanguine on PG Invit’s business model, which is backed by predictable cash flows and offers growth visibility. A Government backed sponsor like PGCIL further instills confidence. PG InvIT is AAA rated and at the issue price of Rs. 100 per unit, offers 12.0% yield, trading at a spread of ~600 bps to the 10 year G-sec (6.0%). In our view, such a spread is very attractive given the high degree of certainty of cash flows & distribution per unit going forward.

Investor return in PG Invit which is a quasi-equity instrument will be a combination of quarterly dividend (our expectation of Rs. 3 per unit per quarter) and the unit’s price appreciation (our expectation of 20-30% listing gain). Upon listing we expect the yields to settle between 9-10% in line with that of the existing listed Invit of Indigrid; which translates to the Unit price settling in the range of Rs. 120-130.
