Infrastructure PE in Chicago?

Doing Infrastructure IB this spring and summer in New York, hoping to look into opportunities in Chicago after graduation (or after an IB stint). Are there any PE firms with infrastructure in Chicago? Thanks!

Hi Prospect in IB - Gen, no, I never sleep and so I can respond to any lonely threads (like this one) at all hours of the night. Impressive, I know ;-)

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

Honestly not much, if you want to do infra investing, northeast (New York / Boston) along with the south (Texas for energy related infra) are really the places to be. Given the nature of the investments / amount of Capital required, there isn’t a huge concept of LMM infra funds (there are a few) the way there are in PE, which are usually heavily present in Chicago.
