We offer investors exposure to real assets, competitive yields relative to traditional income-producing sectors and total return potential.”
The energy renaissance in North America began with new technologies unlocking vast reserves of oil and natural gas. To create more sustainable businesses, midstream firms combine their focus on financial flexibility with research into alternative and renewable energy business opportunities. In addition, energy infrastructure MLPs and corporations have responded to growing investor focus on sustainability issues by improving transparency and ESG reporting.
