Fengate Capital Management Ltd. has raised more than $600 million of equity capital for Canadian infrastructure investment with the recent closing of two funds, Fengate Greenfield Infrastructure Fund and Fengate Infrastructure Fund VI.

The private sector has become increasingly active in infrastructure investment due, in part, to budget constraints limiting the traditional governmental source of capital. Some of the largest institutional investors in the United States have recently announced that they will increase their allocation to infrastructure investments.

The I3 Editorial Advisory Board meeting is a forum for investors, consultants, investment managers and guests to communicate their expectations, challenges and concerns with respect to infrastructure investing. The process helps these groups communicate and work together to achieve their goals and objectives, providing a platform to share experience as well as help drive the editorial content for the I3 publication. The board meeting includes eight hours of discussions, quick tally votes on topics of interest and opportunities to build stronger relationships. This is the fourth part of a review of the board meeting discussions that took place Nov. 9–10, 2011, in Chicago.
