Infrastructure<br />
Investor<br />
New York<br />
New York Marriott Downtown, New York City | October 22 - 23, 2008<br />
www.peimedia.com/INFRANY08<br />
A private equity international conference
presents:<br />
A ga<strong>the</strong>ring of<br />
experts<br />
Building on <strong>the</strong> success of our annual Infrastructure<br />
Investor Forum in Berlin, which demonstrated <strong>the</strong><br />
increasing interest in <strong>the</strong> global opportunities provided by<br />
this burgeoning asset class, <strong>PEI</strong> is delighted to announce<br />
<strong>the</strong> North American debut of Infrastructure Investor Forum:<br />
New York on October 22-23, 2008.<br />
The global infrastructure market is booming – it is estimated that<br />
nearly $40 billion was raised in 2007 for infrastructure funds, an 84<br />
percent increase over 2006’s $17.9 billion raised, and a 633 percent<br />
increase over <strong>the</strong> roughly $5.2 billion raised for such funds in<br />
2005. Industry analysts believe that trillions of dollars are required<br />
to maintain, improve and expand infrastructure to meet <strong>the</strong> needs<br />
of growing populations around <strong>the</strong> globe. While governments have<br />
historically bankrolled <strong>the</strong> majority of infrastructure projects, private<br />
capital is quickly being raised to meet <strong>the</strong> increasing demand<br />
worldwide.<br />
This creates an unprecedented opportunity for private equity fund<br />
managers and limited partners who want to expand <strong>the</strong>ir investment<br />
portfolio to invest <strong>the</strong>ir money in this new asset class that<br />
promises attractive and stable returns on investment. Despite <strong>the</strong>
isks of investing in a relatively new asset class, <strong>the</strong>re are many<br />
elements of infrastructure deals that make <strong>the</strong>m attractive as a<br />
long term investment especially for public pension funds. Amid<br />
increasingly volatile market conditions, <strong>the</strong> counter-cyclical nature<br />
of infrastructure investments makes <strong>the</strong>m even more desirable.<br />
To succeed in this market, funds will need to combine increasingly<br />
large sums of long-term capital with specialist approaches to<br />
investment and asset management.<br />
Our inaugural global infrastructure forum in New York will look at<br />
infrastructure from <strong>the</strong> perspectives of both fund managers and<br />
investors. Seasoned practitioners will discuss specific aspects of<br />
private equity infrastructure investing in detailed panel and interactive<br />
workshop sessions.<br />
By bringing toge<strong>the</strong>r a world-class roster of speakers and by delivering<br />
a rigorous, well-structured agenda <strong>the</strong> Forum will not only<br />
deliver vital information and market intelligence but will also facilitate<br />
networking opportunities and dialogue amongst key professionals<br />
involved in <strong>the</strong> infrastructure industry globally.<br />
