Tailwater co-founder on energy investment under Trump; New Mountain Capital’s double healthcare deals

Good morning dealmakers, it’s Obey Martin Manayiti with the US edition of the Wire from the New York newsroom.

Today, energy private equity firm Tailwater Capital co-founder and managing partner Jason Downie shares his insights on the upstream and midstream private equity investment horizon under the incoming Trump administration in the latest of our Outlook Q&As.

Next, we have a pair of healthcare deals from New Mountain Capital this morning. First, the firm is investing in Access Healthcare and secondly, the firm is investing in Union Healthcare Insight. We have all the details below.

Immense power needed

Tailwater Capital co-founder and managing partner Jason Downie shared his insights on upstream and midstream private equity investment with my colleague Michael Schoeck. Headquartered in Dallas and with $4.5 billion of capital under management, Tailwater typically invests $150 million-$250 million for minority stakes and co-investment opportunities in energy infrastructure development.

Subsectors of focus include midstream gathering, processing and transportation for oil, gas and water, as well as pipelines, carbon capture and sequestration and natural gas storage. In the upstream market, Tailwater makes non-operated working interest investments into oil and gas wells, as well as minerals and royalty rights investments.
