Active asset management may be in crisis. But Global Infrastructure Partners doesn't feel the pinch. Which has a lot to do with Donald Trump and Credit Suisse.
The infrastructure specialist, founded in 2006 with a little help from Credit Suisse (CS) and U.S. industrial giant GE is thriving. The company, owned by Gatwick Airport, has what it needs in terms of investment story and a rich source of personnel.
Infrastructure funds are hot with investors since the new U.S. president promised to spend $1 trillion on roads, bridges and public buildings. Investment funds received some $400 billion in new money last year alone.
Hot Story, Rich on Resources
GIP manages $35 billion at its offices in Stamford, New York, London and Sydney. It relies upon a steady stream of experts – a lot of them coming from Switzerland's No. 2 bank, according to U.K.-based «Efinancialcareers».
Several analysts, amongst them Zack Mossman, joined the fund in recent months, meeting a group of former CS bankers.
«If you want to escape Credit Suisse for the buy-side, and particularly if you want to work in infrastructure investing, GIP partners should probably be top of your calling list,» the portal concluded in its report.
