The TORTX Advantage

Infrastructure

Investing in the World’s Largest Infrastructure Network
The U.S. position as the world’s largest energy producer is expected to grow given rising demand for energy, energy exports, and growth in electricity. The fund invests in companies supporting this growth.

Real Asset Exposure with Inflation Alignment

Real Asset Exposure with Inflation Alignment
By emphasizing investing in infrastructure generating cash flow from fee-based sources (often with inflation escalators), we believe the fund will be more resilient than commodity-driven peers through business and interest rate cycles.

Built for Total Return and Income

Built for Total Return and Income
The fund targets higher current income than traditional energy funds by investing in cash-generative energy businesses.

Tax-Efficient Yield Delivery

Tax-Efficient Yield Delivery
Structured as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC), the fund distributes income via a 1099 (no K-1s) and avoids the double taxation that affects C-Corp funds.

With a structural focus on natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and U.S. energy exports, the fund is aligned with long-term global trends in energy reliability, security, electrification, and industrial reshoring, not just oil prices.

Positioned for What’s Next
With a structural focus on natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and U.S. energy exports, the fund is aligned with long-term global trends in energy reliability, security, electrification, and industrial reshoring, not just oil prices.

1 The Institutional and A Class Shares commenced operations on 5/31/2011 and C Class Shares commenced operations on 9/19/2012. Performance shown prior to inception of the C Class Shares is based on the performance of the Institutional Class Shares, adjusted for the higher expenses applicable to C Class Shares. The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged market-value weighted index of stocks, which is widely regarded as the standard for measuring large-cap U.S. stock market performance. Returns include reinvested dividends. The Tortoise North American Pipeline IndexSM is a float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index of pipeline companies headquartered in the U.S. and Canada. The Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index is a composite of North American energy infrastructure companies. The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents are engaged in midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMEI) and on a total-return basis (AMEIX). It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

For periods over one year, performance reflected is for the average annual returns.

Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 855-TCA-Fund (855-822-3863). Performance data shown reflecting the A Class (maximum load) reflects a sales charge of 5.50%. Performance data shown “excluding load” does not reflect the deduction of the maximum sales load. Performance data shown for the C Class (including CDSC) reflects a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% for the first 12 months of investment. Performance data shown “excluding CDSC” does not reflect the deduction of the CDSC. If reflected, the load and the CDSC would reduce the performance quoted. Investment performance reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced.
