Jim Baker, Co-Head of Energy Infrastructure Strategies for Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors — President of the Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund — discusses generating "excess free cash flow" that helped the midstream index generate gains of over 50 percent for fiscal 2024, an impressive gain that still actually lagged the total return of his fund. Moving forward — and despite a political climate that he says could be a double-edged sword in the infrastructure space — Baker sees gains continuing potential for the sector to earn gains in the "low to mid-teens" for the next three to five years, fueled by the power demands of artificial intelligence, data centers and other applications.
