The fund invests in companies that use long-lived assets for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power and oil & gas, as well as infrastructure for water treatment, waste management, electric and heating systems, and renewable and clean energy. Fixed income investments may be of any maturity, comprising up to 50% of the portfolio. The fund caps junk bonds to 25%, MLPs to 25%, and non-US issuers to 10%. In addition, the actively managed fund employs a covered call strategy against select equity positions at the advisers discretion. Starting with $313 million in assets, the ETF is the product of the merger of three closed-end funds: Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure (TPZ), Tortoise Energy Independence Fund, Inc. (NDP), and Tortoise Pipeline & Energy Fund, Inc.
