Macquarie Power & Infrastructure Income Fund - (MPT.UN)

Macquarie Power & Infrastructure Income Fund invests in essential infrastructure assets, with an emphasis on power infrastructure.

MPT's POWER PORTFOLIO INCLUDES:
-Gas Cogeneration – Cardinal, a 156 MW gas cogeneration plant, is located in Cardinal, Ontario.

-Wind – MPT owns the 99 MW Erie Shores Wind Farm in Port Burwell, Ontario, which currently represents about 6% of Canada's installed wind capacity.

-Hydro – MPT owns four hydroelectric facilities, located in Dryden and Marathon, Ontario, and Sechelt and Dease Lake, British Columbia, totalling 36 MW.

-Biomass – MPT owns a 28 MW biomass facility in Whitecourt, Alberta, and holds investments in a 31 MW facility located in Chapais, Quebec.


MPT's SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDES:
An indirect 45% investment in Leisureworld, which is currently the fourth largest provider of long-term care (LTC) homes in Ontario.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
-I have listened to the last conference call and management seemed to be very conservative and selective in any growth opportunities that they’ll investigate in the future.
-12.2% yield
-They have provided 2008 payout ratio guidance in the range of 95%-100%
-Trading at approximately book value
-Involved in recession resistant, government regulated industries.
-S&P stability rating of SR-2 which is the second highest rating and described by S&P as “An entity rated ‘SR-2’ has a VERY HIGH level of distributable cash flow generation stability.”
-Estimated 2008 PE - 21X
-Estimated 2009 PE – 17X
-Although this trust is fairly small ($420 million market cap) their income streams are diversified with 23% of distributable cash from their investment in Leisure World with the remainder coming from their power generation facilities.
-One note of caution is they do pay relatively high fees to their Australian based parent company “The Macquarie Group”
-TDWaterhouse rates them a very strong buy with a $10.00 one year target price (recently reduced from $10.50).

[I do not own units of MPT.UN. As always please do your own research and consult your own financial advisor before making any decisions.]

Is this the same Leisureworld that I read about in the Toronto Star this morning under the headline "Nursing Home Crackdown"? Something about 2 patients dying and a police investigation.

What impact might this have?

Bill,

That is indeed the same Leisureworld. I'm not sure what impact this will have... I suppose it depends on what's revealed in the investigation (if one is even required). My guess would be that I probably won't have much impact though.

I wanted to share with you a wonderful site I just came across teaching [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] like they teach it in the Israeli Army (IDF) If you guys have seen the Discovery Channel TV Show called Fight Quest you would have seen their chief instructor Ran Nakash there featured on their [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] segment. Anyways, let me know what you think. Is training via the internet something you would do?

I have noticed that over the course of building a relationship with real estate proprietors,
you'll be able to come to understand that, in every single real estate deal, a percentage is paid. Ultimately, FSBO sellers tend not to "save" the percentage. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by way of doing a great agent's task.

In doing so, they spend their money in addition to time to conduct, as best they might,
the duties of an broker. Those tasks include displaying the home by way
of marketing, showing the home to willing
buyers, building a sense of buyer urgency in order to trigger an offer, booking home inspections, dealing with qualification assessments with the
loan company, supervising fixes, and assisting the
closing.

Thanks a lot for your post. I'd prefer to write my opinion that the cost of car insurance differs from one scheme to another, for the reason that there are so many different issues which bring about the overall cost. By way of example, the make and model of the car will have a large bearing on the price tag. A reliable ted family car or truck will have a lower priced premium compared to a flashy sports car.
