The reasons of my purchase are as follows:
- BIP operates a diversified collection of assets generating resilient long-term cash flows. Regulatory frameworks and contracted capacity leads to predictable cash flows.
- Assets are in various businesses like transportation, utilities, energy, data infrastructure which can be described as recession resistant.
- Its business is diversified over different areas, but also in a geographic manner.
- No significant debt maturities in next five years.
- Yield of 4,7%.
- Dividend growth of more than 9% per year in the last five years.
- Price-to-AFFO is around 16x, which seems like a fair price (but who knows!)
- Desire to further increase the diversification in my own portfolio by adding another utility-like business.
Thanks for reading! What do you think of my purchase?
