The TORIX 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.
