O'Hare airport bond issue unmarred by Chicago's fiscal crisis
Investors keen to buy into America's busiest airport, and city's bad credit rating likely to give yield premium
Chicago

Chicago is selling US$2 billion of securities for O'Hare International Airport, backed by revenue from the nation's busiest airport and sheltered from the mounting pension obligations squeezing the third-most populous US city. Fund managers at Wells Fargo Asset Management and Conning say any yield premium resulting from the city's tainted reputation is likely a buying opportunity given the airport's rising traffic and hub status.
