Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, and may reduce its management fees, in order to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, leverage cost, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.10% of the average daily net assets of Class I and 1.50% of the average daily net assets of Class II. Expenses reimbursed and/or fees reduced by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal year during which such reimbursement or reduction was made if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time the waiver and/or reimbursement occurred. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement will be in effect and cannot be terminated through at least one year from the date on which the Fund issues its first share.

Principal
Risks of Investing
in the Fund
|
9 |
10 |
·
|
Credit Risk
. Issuers of debt securities may be unable to make principal and interest payments when they are due. There is also the risk that the securities could lose value because of a loss of confidence in the ability of the issuer to pay back debt. The degree of credit risk for a particular security may be reflected it its credit rating. Lower rated debt securities involve greater credit risk, including the possibility of default or bankruptcy.
|
·
|
Interest Rate Risk.
Debt securities could lose value because of interest rate changes. For example, bonds tend to decrease in value if interest rates rise. Debt securities with longer maturities sometimes offer higher yields, but are subject to greater price shifts as a result of interest rate changes than debt securities with shorter maturities.
|
·
|
Reinvestment Risk
. If the Fund reinvests the proceeds of matured or sold securities at market interest rates that are below its portfolio earnings rate, its income will decline.
|
·
|
Call or Prepayment Risk.
Call or prepayment occurs when the issuer of a debt security exercises its option to call or repays principal prior to the security’s maturity. During periods of declining interest rates, issuers may increase pre-payments of principal causing the Fund to invest in debt securities with lower yields thus reducing income generation. Similarly, during periods of increasing interest rates, issuers may decrease pre-payments of principal extending the duration of debt securities potentially to maturity. Debt securities with longer maturities are subject to greater price shifts as a result of interest rate changes. Also, if the Fund is unable to liquidate lower yielding securities to take advantage of a higher interest rate environment, its ability to generate income may be adversely affected. The potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.
|
·
|
Duration Risk
. The Fund has no set policy regarding the maturity or duration of any or all of its securities. Holding long duration and long maturity investments will magnify certain risks, including interest rate risk and credit risk.

Debt Securities
|
·
|
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in securities of MLP and pipeline companies. MLPs, also known as publicly traded partnerships, predominately operate, or directly or indirectly own, energy-related assets. Pipeline companies are defined as either entities in which the largest component of their assets, cash flow or revenue is associated with the operation or ownership of energy pipelines and complementary assets or entities operating in the energy pipeline industry as defined by standard industrial classification. Pipeline companies include investment companies that invest primarily in MLP or pipeline companies. The Fund intends to focus its investments primarily in equity securities of MLP and pipeline companies that own and operate a network of energy infrastructure asset systems that transport, store, distribute, gather and/or process crude oil, refined petroleum products (including biodiesel and ethanol), natural gas or natural gas liquids.
|
·
|
Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in securities (including ADRs) issued by
foreign
issuers, which may include
securities issued by pipeline companies organized and/or having securities traded on an exchange outside the U.S. or may be securities of U.S. companies that are denominated in the currency of a different country.
|
·
|
Under normal circumstances,
the Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in debt securities of any issuers, including securities which may be rated below investment grade (“junk bonds”) by an NRSRO or judged by the Adviser to be of comparable credit quality.
|
·
|
Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are those securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued them. Illiquid securities may include restricted securities not determined by the Board of Trustees to be liquid.
|
·
|
Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer.
|
·
|
The Fund will not invest in private companies.
|
·
|
The Fund will not engage in short sales of securities.

The investment committee (or an employee of the Adviser designated by the Investment Committee) will be responsible for all decisions regarding proxy voting, including monitoring corporate actions, making voting decisions in the best interest of the Fund, and ensuring that proxies are submitted in a timely manner.
|
·
|
The investment committee will generally vote proxies according to the Adviser’s then-current Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, which it believes are reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of its clients. In pursuing this policy, proxies should be voted in a manner that is intended to maximize value to the client.
|
·
|
Although the Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures are to be followed as a general policy, certain issues will be considered on a case-by-case basis based on the relevant facts and circumstances. Since corporate governance issues are diverse and continually evolving, the Adviser shall devote an appropriate amount of time and resources to monitor these changes.
|
·
|
In situations where there may be a conflict of interest in the voting of proxies between the interests of the Fund and its shareholders and those of the Adviser due to business or personal relationships that the Adviser maintains with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes, the Adviser may (i) disclose the potential conflict to the Fund and obtain consent; or (ii) establish an ethical wall or other informational barriers between the person(s) that are involved in the conflict and the persons at the Adviser making the voting decisions.
|
·
|
All proxies will be voted in accordance with any applicable investment restrictions of the Fund and, to the extent applicable, any resolutions or other instructions approved by the Board of Trustees.

Preliminary ratings may be assigned to obligations, most commonly structured and project finance issues, pending receipt of final documentation and legal opinions.
|
—
|
Preliminary ratings are assigned to Rule 415 Shelf Registrations. As specific issues, with defined terms, are offered from the master registration, a final rating may be assigned to them in accordance with Standard & Poor’s policies
|
—
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to obligations that will likely be issued upon the obligor’s emergence from bankruptcy or similar reorganization, based on late-stage reorganization plans, documentation and discussions with the obligor. Preliminary ratings may also be assigned to the obligors. These ratings consider the anticipated general credit quality of the reorganized or post-bankruptcy issuer as well as attributes of the anticipated obligation(s).
|
—
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned to entities that are being formed or that are in the process of being independently established when, in Standard & Poor’s opinion, documentation is close to final. Preliminary ratings may also be assigned to these entities’ obligations.
|
—
|
Preliminary ratings may be assigned when a previously unrated entity is undergoing a well-formulated restructuring, recapitalization, significant financing or other transformative event, generally at the point that investor or lender commitments are invited. The preliminary rating may be assigned to the entity and to its proposed obligation(s). These preliminary ratings consider the anticipated general credit quality of the obligor, as well as attributes of the anticipated obligation(s), assuming successful completion of the transformative event. Should the transformative event not occur, Standard & Poor’s would likely withdraw these preliminary ratings.
|
—
|
A preliminary recovery rating may be assigned to an obligation that has a preliminary issue credit rating.
|
—
|
Likelihood of payment—capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;
|
—
|
Nature of and provisions of the obligation;
|
—
|
Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.
|
—
|
Amortization schedule—the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and
|
—
|
Source of payment—the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.
