Long-standing Infratil investor Utilico Investments has whittled down its shareholding even further, selling about 5 million shares to leave it with 3.6 percent of the infrastructure investment firm. 

UK-listed Utilico, managed by Infratil director Duncan Saville's ICM Investment Management, sold the shares at an average price of $3.18 a share for almost $16 million, leaving it with 20 million shares, according to a notice to the stock exchange. Utilico used to be known as Infratil International and was one the firm's biggest shareholders with a 20 percent stake before it started selling in 2010. 

In the final six months of 2015, Utilico sold 5.5 million shares at an average price of $3.19, realising 7.6 million pounds, it said in its half-year report. The latest sale is worth about 7.6 million pounds based on the current exchange rate at 47.17 British pence. 

Infratil shares slipped 0.2 percent to $3.195 today and have declined 2.3 percent so far this year. The stock is rated an average 'buy' based on five analyst recommendations compiled by Reuters, with a median price target of $3.52.
