Think about this and thank me

The second group believes by default; they don’t consider it might be a lie because they know that when you believe something is achievable, you end up seeing the path to achieve it.

Things stayed under control....
An infrastructure fund manager has three problems. First, raise the capital. Not easy. Second, deploy the capital. Also not easy. Because after telling LPs you have access to a wonderful infrastructure pipeline, eventually you need to buy something. Small detail. And third… Invest the capital in something that does not behave like what the fund promised to invest in. That is where careers become interesting. It’s not only about losing money. It’s walking into the Investment Committee and...
Auckland’s City Rail Link is finally open. Yes. Finally. After years of works. Road cones. Traffic disruption. Political fights. Budget headlines. People explaining why it should have been cheaper. People explaining why it should never have been built. People explaining why Auckland is not London, Madrid, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, Paris or any other city with trains. And of course… People explaining everything after the project is finished. My favourite type of infrastructure expert. But here...
