Private Equity Hot for Infrastructure

In 2005, there were four infrastructure-focused private equity firms in the market looking to raise $US 1.8-billion, this year there are a record 71 such funds.  An article in The Globe and Mail reports, these funds have emerged as a result of the recent volatility in the market, energy infrastructure companies and power utilities have become highly valued for their stability, long-term cash flow, and lack of correlation to other investments including equities and bonds, according to this report.

Makes sense about the infrastructure being so attractive. Interesting to know the size of deals as thee do tend to be the big ones.
