3 Areas Where Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P.'s CEO Sees Exciting Growth Opportunities

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE: BIP) has grown tremendously in the decade since its formation. It has gone from a small utilities and timber owner with operations in four countries to a global infrastructure giant with holdings in utilities, energy, transport, water, and communications infrastructure spread across 15 countries. That expansion has grown the company's earnings by a 20% compound annual rate, which in turn has fueled 12% compound annual growth in its distribution to investors, enabling it to deliver a total return of more than 465%, easily outpacing the 125% return of the S&P 500.
