About The Fund
From the fund's prospectus:
ECP Essential Infrastructure Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a newly-organized Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that continuously offers its shares of beneficial interest.
Investment Objective. Our investment objective is to seek attractive total returns primarily through generating income and secondarily through capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that our investment objective will be achieved.
Principal Investment Strategies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its total assets in income-producing publicly-traded or privately-issued securities or other interests in essential infrastructure assets or related companies. The Fund will primarily invest in debt securities (including debt securities or other interests that are convertible into equity securities) but may also invest in equity securities or other interests, including warrants to purchase equity securities.
The Fund considers a company to be an “essential infrastructure or related company” if at least 50% of its assets, income, sales or profits are committed to or derived from the development, construction, distribution, operation, management, ownership, servicing or financing of essential infrastructure assets. Essential infrastructure assets include, without limitation, assets that provide the underlying foundation of basic services, facilities and institutions. These assets can include physical structures, networks, or systems of transportation. In addition, these assets can include those within the following sub-sectors, among others: power and renewable electricity, water, waste, telecommunications, digital infrastructure, transportation, petrochemicals and natural resource related infrastructure.
The Fund’s investments are primarily expected to be in issuers located in the U.S.; however, the Fund may also invest in companies located outside of the U.S. These non-U.S. companies are expected to be located in countries represented in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
