Rapid and wrenching change is occurring in the utility industry in response to deregulatory, competitive and technological forces. This change is creating needs for improved equipment, software and services to aid in the generation, transmission, distribution, marketing, trading and consumption of power. The power opportunities investment strategy makes controlling equity investments in companies capable of meeting those needs. We invest in proven performers and technological leaders, not start-up ventures or turnarounds.

"Our partnership with GFI has leveraged their expertise in the utility sector and alternative energy with our capabilities and resources as significant private equity investors," says Steve Kaplan. "It has been and continues to be a highly productive partnership."
