Anderton Increases Stake in Wise Energy to Advance Clean Infrastructure Strategy

[Valletta, Malta – March 2025] — Anderton SICAV PLC has announced a follow-on investment in Wise Energy SA, a Warsaw-listed clean energy and infrastructure company, through its Challenger Impact High Income Fund I. The move reinforces the fund’s strategy of acquiring high-growth assets positioned at the forefront of Europe’s transition to a sustainable, decentralized energy system.

Wise Energy is rapidly emerging as a key player in Polish renewable energy and energy distribution sectors. The company’s portfolio spans power generation from photovoltaic sources, energy trading, electromobility infrastructure, and financial services — all underpinned by a mission to drive clean, efficient, and accessible energy solutions.

High-Growth Investment Thesis

The Challenger Fund was established to give investors access to mid-term, high-return opportunities in sectors undergoing structural transformation. The fund targets companies with:

• clear revenue models,
• defined exit pathways,
• strong market positioning in transitional industries,
• capacity for integration into a broader platform.

Wise Energy exemplifies this approach. The company’s Q3 2024 results show a significant increase in revenue (EUR 25.85 million), a nearly fourfold rise in cash reserves, and continued asset growth. This trajectory reflects both strong execution and a rising demand for energy solutions driven by decarbonization, electrification, and grid modernization.

Strategic Engagement

Since its initial investment, Anderton has actively supported Wise Energy’s operational and strategic transformation. The fund maintains a seat on the company’s supervisory board, contributing to corporate governance and guiding expansion efforts. Through this hands-on engagement, Anderton has facilitated access to institutional capital and introduced back-end integration strategies that align Wise Energy with the fund’s broader platform. The follow-on investment strengthens Anderton’s position at a time when Wise Energy is preparing for the next phase of scale — including expanded PV development, growth in electromobility infrastructure, and a more robust financial structuring offering.

A Scalable Platform

Wise Energy is not a standalone bet, but a strategic pillar in a growing ecosystem of energy and infrastructure investments managed by the Challenger Fund. Anderton is actively evaluating additional transactions in the sector to complement and enhance the operational and financial synergies already in motion. This platform strategy is supported by shared branding, integrated governance systems, and capital efficiency — a model designed to deliver both performance and resilience as the fund scales.

Looking Ahead

The follow-on investment in Wise Energy is a clear expression of Anderton’s long-term conviction in the company’s trajectory and its alignment with the fund’s goals. It also signals the Challenger Fund’s broader strategic direction: to build a portfolio of high-yield, impact-driven businesses with the potential to shape the future of critical sectors like energy, transport, and infrastructure.
