"InfraREIT, Inc.: An Innovative Way to Finance Infrastructure Investment"

In 2010, Hunt Power and its affiliates helped create an innovative investment vehicle to finance electric transmission and distribution assets through a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Today, this entity is known as InfraREIT, Inc., and is managed by Hunt Utility Services.   InfraREIT, Inc. currently owns electric transmission and distribution assets in Texas that are operated by its tenant, Sharyland Utilities.  In January 2015, InfraREIT successfully launched its initial public offering and is now traded on the NYSE under the stock symbol HIFR.

Our speaker David Campbell is president of Hunt Utility Services and president and chief executive officer of InfraREIT.  David will provide an update on InfraREIT’s activities, some insight into its IPO, and its plans for the future.
