Envestra Capital

Envestra Capital

Envestra Capital was established in London in 2015 by Jazzit Sihota, who brought experience from roles at institutions including Macquarie Group. The firm was built to originate, structure, and manage direct investments in hard assets, with a primary geographic focus on the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Richard Galvin joined the partnership early, bringing operating and investment expertise that reinforced the firm's ability to act as a principal investor alongside its capital partners. The firm concentrates on energy transition, infrastructure, and real estate, typically targeting mid-market opportunities where institutional capital is scarce and asset-level value creation is achievable through active management. Envestra does not operate a commingled fund; instead, it forms special purpose vehicles per transaction, aligning its own capital with co-investors on a deal-by-deal basis. Documented transactions include participation in UK solar generation portfolios and ground-mounted photovoltaic assets, often partnering with developers to take projects from late-stage development through to operational maturity. The firm's infrastructure exposure extends to energy-from-waste and battery storage, reflecting a deliberate thesis around decentralized, contracted power generation. Envestra maintains a lean team structure based in London, with no additional offices publicly disclosed. The firm has steadily scaled its deployment capacity since 2020, reflecting increasing demand from family offices and institutional investors for direct-access real-asset strategies that bypass traditional fund layers. As of early 2025, the firm continued to build out its portfolio of operating renewable energy assets, with a particular emphasis on solar and battery storage within the UK market, where regulatory support and power-purchase-agreement structures have matured (per Infrastructure Investor, 2024). The firm's structural differentiator is its refusal to operate a traditional fund model. By executing every investment through a discrete vehicle with co-investors who share a per-deal economic alignment, Envestra sidesteps the duration constraints and forced deployment that shape blind-pool managers. This architecture lets the firm remain patient — underwriting only when an asset meets its return and control thresholds — which matters acutely in the capital-intensive, slow-yielding real-asset sectors where it operates.
