    PFP: Geographically Diversified but Exposed to Financials [view article]
    Puzzled that bckbf is included in pfp, a private equity fund. I didn't think a private equity company trades in the market. Reply

    Publicly Traded Airports: A Useful Benchmark? [view article]
    I have not looked at the LATAM airports as closely as some others but that might be shortsighted on my part. Reply

    Roger, did you look at all of the Mexican airport operators? PAC, ASR, and OMAB. I wrote a pitch for PAC where I saw prominent inverse correlation between oil and the stock price. So you may have to only look at smoother long term data to find a better correlation between the stock price of the airport operator and the GDP growth. Reply

    I would worry about being a shareholder in this type of enterprise that is so subject to government interference. Shareholders would likely become bagholders as soon as it becomes politically expedient. Reply

    Roger, how do you feel about pipelines (I own TYG) and other infrastructure sectors such as toll roads and utilities? Reply

    thanks all,

    the Auckland story is interesting, ticker AIA.NZ, a pension fund in Canada, maybe the teachers in Ontario (which is a biggie), were trying to buy it but the gov't backed away, last i heard. interesting story.

    Roger, you should look at MGU --- public infrastructure CEF advised by Macquarie. unlike MIC, though, MGU only invests in public companies so no self-serving mark-to-model funny business.

    as of 3/31/08, MGU had 11.9% of its NAV in public airports. other interesting (non-correlated, alpha generating) infrastructure sectors include toll roads, pipelines, water utilities, etc. (all publicly traded).

    and pretty reasonable expense ratio for a levered actively managed CEF (the MER on etfconnect.com is wrong, btw).

    lots of international diversification, too, and just for you and your clients and readers, it's on sale right now at a 6.0% discount to its NAV.

    SPASF is the symbol for Singapore Airport Terminal Services, or SATS, which provides ground handling and airline catering services at Singapore Changi Airport. Vienna and Aeroports de Paris own their respective airports. SATS is not an airport owner nor operator. Reply
