Airports, Toll Roads Make Good Alternatives To Utilities

FYI: I'm not so sure of that.

Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP) has had a very nice run over the last 3 years. (it is an MLP, so does generate a K-1.) They are investing in toll roads, among many other things.

I dunno about airports as much, but Sydney Airport is public, as are some others. Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS) also pays a nice div of around 3.5%.

Bought INF recently after Scott's discussions of infrastructure plays.Nice monthly div. http://www.cefconnect.com/Details/Summary.aspx?Ticker=INF Also consider UTF http://www.cefconnect.com/Details/Summary.aspx?Ticker=UTF and MFD http://www.cefconnect.com/Details/Summary.aspx?Ticker=MFD These are closed end funds that employ various leverage strategies and present added risk but with a long term outlook may present an attractive investment in future infra-structure themes.
Also bought this fund and adding monthly as a long term theme. About 11% roads and airports.Near 50% in pipeline/storage space.
