Surveying Infrastructure: Funding & Investing Thoughts

3:30 pm – 5:00 pm
33 N. LaSalle Street, Vault (Lower Level), Chicago, IL  60602   (Driving Directions)

Program Description: 
Infrastructure investing is at a crossroads and investors are moving forward with listed infrastructure as a viable asset class to address income, inflation protection and portfolio diversification. We have seen significant public funding issues:

  • Politics of taxes – income, property, gasoline, etc. 
  • Disparate state/regional infrastructure conditions, federal/state regulatory/oversight interaction and funding
  • 2-4 year election cycles vs 50 year infrastructure life
  • Traditional view of infrastructure as a public good – don’t call it privatization! The US has seen far less privatization than other countries but listed infrastructure in “filling the gap”.
