IQPC's U.S Infrastructure Investing Summit Adds Topic3 October 2006NEW YORK – (PRESS RELEASE) -- With the impending privatization of casino giant Harrah's Entertainment, the gaming industry is fast becoming the focus of investors seeking new areas for investment returns. Public infrastructure, which ranges from toll roads and bridges to social infrastructure such as public schools, hospitals and lotteries, is an emerging asset class that is gaining the attention of institutional and private investors alike. Interest stems from the fact that Infrastructure is a long-term, relatively stable asset class that is a unique match to the long-term liabilities of pension funds and insurance companies. On October 17-19, leading institutional investors and asset & fund management companies will come together at IQPC's U.S Infrastructure Investing Summit, the only conference taking place this fall that examines market trends and the vast long-term income streams in Infrastructure Investing. Taking place at the Digital Sandbox in New York City, this conference will feature investor-led discussions and bring together top institutions such as La Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, Goldman Sachs, the City of Chicago, both Virginia and Texas departments of Transportation, Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP. And now, the leading expert on lottery privatization, Transnational Market Development, has joined the distinguished speaker faculty as well. The US Infrastructure Investing Summit will be a venue for investors to learn more about this emerging alternative asset class, and to explore partnership opportunities with key project owners. Discussions will include: * Landmark case studies from domestic and international projects * Various types of infrastructure assets opening up to private investors -- toll roads, ports, energy, lotteries * Identifying potential revenue streams * Identifying and addressing risk factors * Access to the asset class for large, medium and small investors * Tax treatment In addition, you can sign up for our interactive workshops which include "Obtaining Access, Assessing the Risks and Returns in an Investment in Lotteries". |
