James Hays and David Greene Quoted in Midstream Business

Counsel James Hays and Partner David Greene were quoted in a Midstream Business article titled “Filling The Midstream Investment Gaps.” The piece discusses how private equity can serve as an alternative investment source for funding midstream infrastructure projects. “From our perspective, private equity serves as a more consistent, more available stream of capital than master limited partnerships (MLPs),” said James. David added, “While most people think of private equity in terms of a 10 to 12 year vehicle with perhaps a four to five year hold on underlying assets, what you started to see in the infrastructure space is a move toward open-ended funds which might be more focused on yield than absolute return.”
