With commodities pricing still on the volatile side, PE and VC deals are getting a lot of attention. But plodding along with them is real asset investing, as a new report by PitchBook reveals. And inside that space, infrastructure deals are taking off, and maybe not for the reasons you may think. That, and a look at last week’s transactions, in the CDT Roundup.
