Comment on Pension Pulse blog

Pension Pulse has a post, "Pensions filling the infrastructure gap?" It does not allow comments, but here's mine.

I was formerly a manager & analyst of public securities in emerging markets for one of the big pension funds. We had people in the PE departments working on this. My experience with single-purpose public infrastructure securities (i.e. shares in one airport, one port, one road) had disappointing performance but securities of companies that developed, operated, and invested in portfolios of these things for growth performed well. I wanted Cheung Kong Infrastructure, but not Shekou Port, for example.
