Overview

CSF originates, structures, participates in and manages equity and debt investments in both publicly listed and private enterprises primarily in areas not covered by the other Divisions of Babcock & Brown, often in sectors that can utilise and benefit from the core real estate and infrastructure skill sets within Babcock & Brown. The Division seeks to take an active role in working with management and other key stakeholders to realise value in its investments.

The four key sectors of focus are:

• Senior Living/Aged Care
• Telecommunications
• Essential Services
• Financial Services

Over the 2007 period CSF grew AUM by 39% from $11.9 billion to $16.6 billion.
