TTP and TPZ distribution policies

Tortoise Pipeline & Energy Fund, Inc. (“TTP”) and Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (“TPZ”) are relying on exemptive relief permitting them to make long-term capital gain distributions throughout the year. Each of TTP and TPZ, with approval of its Board of Directors (the “Board”), has adopted a distribution policy (the “Policy”) with the purpose of distributing over the course of each year, through periodic distributions as nearly equal as practicable and any required special distributions, an amount closely approximating the total taxable income of TTP and TPZ during such year and, if so determined by the Board, all or a portion of the return of capital paid by portfolio companies to TTP and TPZ during such year. In accordance with its Policy, TTP distributes a fixed amount per common share, currently $0.45, each quarter to its common shareholders and TPZ distributes a fixed amount per common share, currently $0.1375, each month to its common shareholders. These amounts are subject to change from time to time at the discretion of the Board. Although the level of distributions is independent of TTP’s and TPZ’s performance, TTP and TPZ expect such distributions to correlate with its performance over time. Each quarterly and monthly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions in light of TTP’s and TPZ’s performance for the entire calendar year and to enable TTP and TPZ to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Policy without prior notice to shareholders if it deems such action to be in the best interests of TTP, TPZ and their respective shareholders. For example, the Board might take such action if the Policy had the effect of shrinking TTP’s or TPZ’s assets to a level that was determined to be detrimental to TTP or TPZ shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Policy could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if TTP’s or TPZ’s stock is trading at or above net asset value), widening an existing trading discount, or decreasing an existing premium. You should not draw any conclusions about TTP’s or TPZ’s investment performance from the amount of the distribution or from the terms of TTP’s or TPZ’s distribution policy. TTP estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in TTP is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect TTP’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon TTP’s and TPZ’s investment experience during the remainder of their fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. TTP and TPZ will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Second quarter 2015 report to closed-end fund stockholders

Dear fellow stockholders,

The broad energy sector seemed to find more balance during the second fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2015. The S&P Select Sector Energy^® Index was essentially flat for the three- and six-month periods, returning -0.1% and -0.4%, respectively. Oil prices moved higher during the quarter, appearing to stabilize in May.

The second fiscal quarter started on an upbeat note for the broader market, with better-than-expected first quarter earnings reports and economic data showing strength in new home construction, improving employment and marginal economic growth. Though it ended essentially flat with equities performing slightly better than fixed-income securities, as the S&P 500^® Index posted a 0.6% return and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, posted a -0.1% return.

Upstream

Upstream oil and gas producers, as represented by the Tortoise North American Oil & Gas Producers Index^SM, returned -4.2% for the fiscal year-to-date, compared to -0.3% for the second fiscal quarter, reflecting what appears to be an improving environment in this segment of the energy value chain. Crude oil prices were less volatile in the second fiscal quarter than the first, opening the fiscal quarter at $49.76 per barrel, dropping to a quarter low of $43.46 on March 17, peaking at $60.93 on May 6, then closing the quarter at $60.30. With the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) expected to continue to produce at least its 30 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d) quota in order to maintain market share — a plan the organization confirmed at its June 5 meeting in Vienna — U.S. oil producers have reined in spending, reduced headcounts and idled rigs. However, production continues to benefit from improved efficiencies, and current U.S. production is at its highest level since the early 1970s, averaging 9.6 MMbbl/d in May.¹ It is expected that production generally will decline during the second half of 2015 and into 2016 before resuming growth.

Natural gas rigs also declined during the fiscal quarter.² Nonetheless, production and inventories remain robust, which we think should keep prices at relatively low levels throughout the remainder of 2015. Increasingly efficient drilling likely will support growing production despite low natural gas prices. The bulk of growth is expected to come from the Marcellus, as uncompleted wells are finished and new infrastructure comes online to deliver gas to markets in the Northeast and the Gulf Coast. U.S. natural gas net imports decreased 9% in 2014, continuing an eight-year downward trajectory, with net natural gas imports (imports minus exports) reaching the lowest level since 1987.¹

For the week ending May 29, storage levels surpassed the five-year (2010-2014) level. The week’s injection of 132 billion cubic feet was the largest net injection in more than a decade.¹ Natural gas prices opened the fiscal quarter at $2.75 per million thermal units (MMBtu) and peaked at $3.27 MMBtu on March 5 as colder weather ravaged |much of the nation, particularly the East Coast. Prices hit their low for the period at $2.48 on April 27 and then closed the fiscal quarter at $2.64 per MMBtu.

Midstream

Following a somewhat challenging first fiscal quarter, master limited partnerships (MLPs), as represented by the Tortoise MLP Index^® posted a -0.3% return for the second fiscal quarter and -4.8% for fiscal year-to-date through May 31, 2015. Midstream MLPs dramatically outperformed upstream MLPs for the fiscal year to date, as investors continued to demonstrate their preference for midstream MLPs, which generally have less direct commodity price risk than their upstream counterparts.

Broader pipeline companies fared better than MLPs (which includes companies across the energy value chain) during the second fiscal quarter, as evidenced by the 1.1% return posted by the Tortoise North American Pipeline Index^SM. Even as rig counts have come down dramatically, North American production has continued to be strong, underscoring the sustained need for greater pipeline takeaway capacity. Investment within the segment remains strong, with new midstream projects placed in service during the second quarter and additional projects scheduled to commence later in 2015 and into 2016. Our projection for capital investment in MLP, pipeline and related organic growth projects from 2015 through 2017 remains strong at approximately $160 billion.

Downstream

Low oil prices have benefited refineries, reducing their costs and increasing demand for refined products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Meanwhile, continued strong natural gas production is supporting the rapid expansion of petrochemical companies that use natural gas as a feedstock to make many household products. Over the last three years the Environmental Protection Agency and state agencies have issued draft or final permits to build or expand more than 100 oil, gas or chemical facilities along the Gulf Coast, with a dozen more applications pending.³ Inexpensive, abundant natural gas also is driving new construction of fertilizer plants in various sections of the country.

2015 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2015

Capital markets

Capital markets remained supportive during the period, continuing to demonstrate their confidence in companies across the energy value chain. Total E&P capital raised was nearly $21 billion, with nearly $9 billion of that in equity. Capital markets also remained supportive for MLPs, which raised approximately $7 billion in equity and more than $11 billion in debt. Other pipeline companies added approximately $1.5 billion each in both debt and equity offerings. Power companies in the downstream segment raised more than $17 billion total capital for the fiscal quarter.

There were three MLP initial public offerings (IPOs) (including a supplier of wood pellets used for power generation; one of the largest owners of oil and gas mineral interests in the U.S.; and an owner of natural gas pipelines) and one C-corporation pipeline IPO during the second fiscal quarter, together totaling approximately $2.4 billion. Merger and acquisition activity was also healthy during the second fiscal quarter, although less robust than in the first fiscal quarter, with MLP and pipeline transactions totaling approximately $25 billion.

Concluding thoughts

Despite some current headwinds, we continue to believe the North American energy sector presents long-term investment opportunities. It appears that oil prices have somewhat stabilized as compared to the volatility experienced earlier in the year, and we believe the second half of 2015 will bring a more balanced supply/demand equation, supporting higher crude oil prices over time.

Sincerely,

The Managing Directors at

Energy Independence Fund, Inc. (NDP)

Fund description

NDP is a closed-end fund that invests primarily in equity securities of upstream North American energy companies that engage in the exploration and production of crude oil, condensate, natural gas and natural gas liquids that generally have a significant presence in North American oil and gas fields, including shale reservoirs. NDP seeks a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions paid to stockholders.

Fund performance review

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based total returns for the second fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2015 were -6.3% and -0.1%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions), compared to the Tortoise North American Oil and Gas Producers Index^SM, which returned -0.3%. Though negative, the fund’s performance reflects a relatively improved market backdrop as oil prices appeared to have somewhat stabilized. The discount of the fund’s stock price relative to its NAV widened during the quarter, ending at -9.9%.

Key asset performance drivers

A number of factors influenced the fund’s asset performance during the second fiscal quarter.

●	The fund’s strategic focus on crude oil and natural gas producers in premier basins, particularly the Marcellus for natural gas and the Permian for crude oil, contributed positively to the fund’s absolute and relative performance. An overweight exposure to the Mid-Continent region also helped in both absolute and relative terms.

●	Natural gas producers contributed more in absolute terms due to continued development in the Marcellus, although the fund’s larger exposure to liquids producers boosted relative performance, as gas prices moved lower and oil rebounded slightly during the quarter.

●	The fund’s holdings in midstream transporters of oil and gas had little effect on performance during the fiscal quarter, with the exception of refined product pipeline companies. Those refined pipeline companies with exposure to crude oil assets detracted the most due to market concern that slowing production may result in fewer pipeline projects.

●	The fund’s covered call strategy continued to generate current income. In higher-volatility environments, we typically extend the out-of-the-money percentage while seeking to generate the same monthly income. The notional amount of the fund’s covered calls averaged approximately 65% of total assets, and their out-of-the-money percentage at the time written averaged approximately 9.2% during the quarter.

2015 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2015

Leverage update

The fund’s leverage utilization increased slightly during 2nd quarter 2015. The fund utilizes all floating rate leverage that had an interest rate of 0.98% at May 31, 2015. Leverage represented 16.3% of total assets at quarter-end, slightly above the long-term target level of 15% of total assets. The interest rate on the fund’s leverage will vary in the future along with changing floating rates.

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is income from investments less expenses. Income from investments includes the amount we receive as cash or paid-in-kind distributions from common stock, master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) or affiliates of MLPs in which we invest and dividend payments on short-term investments we own. Income also includes the premiums received from sales of covered call options, net of amounts paid to buy back out-of-the-money options. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses and leverage costs.

Distributions received from investments increased approximately 1.4% as compared to 1st quarter 2015. This was primarily due to an increase in net premiums on options written, offset by the impact of various portfolio trading and merger activity. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased slightly during the quarter due to increased asset-based fees. Total leverage costs rose slightly during the quarter, primarily due to increased leverage utilization. As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF increased by approximately 0.7% as compared to 1st quarter 2015.

We maintained our quarterly distribution of $0.4375 per share during 2nd quarter 2015. We may designate a portion of our quarterly distributions as capital gains and we may also distribute additional capital gains in the last calendar quarter of the year if necessary to meet minimum annual distribution requirements and to avoid being subject to excise taxes.

“Net Investment Loss” on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 2015 fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2015 (in thousands):

2015 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2015

Tortoise
Energy Infrastructure Corp. (TYG)

Fund description

TYG is a closed-end fund that invests primarily in equity securities of master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and their affiliates that transport, gather, process or store natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), crude oil and refined petroleum products. TYG seeks a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions paid to stockholders.

Fund performance review

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based total returns for the second fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2015 were -2.5% and -1.9%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions), compared to the Tortoise MLP Index^®, which returned -0.3%. Though negative, the fund’s performance reflects a relatively improved market backdrop as oil prices appeared to have somewhat stabilized. Nonetheless, concern about rising interest rates and low oil prices continued to be headwinds for midstream MLPs. The discount of the fund’s stock price relative to its NAV widened during the quarter, ending at -7.1%.

2nd fiscal quarter performance highlights
Market-based total return		(2.5)%
NAV-based total return		(1.9)%
Premium (discount) to NAV (as of 5/31/2015)		(7.1)%
Distributions paid per share		$0.645
Distribution rate (as of 5/31/2015)		6.1%
Quarter-over-quarter distribution increase		0.8%
Year-over-year distribution increase		11.2%

Key asset performance drivers

A number of factors influenced the fund’s asset performance during the second fiscal quarter.

●	Crude oil pipeline MLPs detracted the most from absolute performance during the fiscal quarter. Although crude oil pipeline MLPs were less negatively affected by falling oil prices earlier in the year than other segments of the energy value chain, they have also been slower to rebound due to market concern in the short term that slowing production may result in fewer pipeline projects. The fund’s overweight stake resulted in relative underperformance in this arena.
●	Refined product pipeline MLPs hurt absolute and relative performance. The names that retreated the most were those with exposure to crude oil pipeline assets, along with previously strong performers that pulled back during the fiscal quarter.
●	Natural gas pipeline MLPs restrained absolute and relative performance, despite the continuing need for additional pipeline infrastructure.
●	Gathering and processing MLPs helped in absolute terms. The top contributor in this group was Williams Partners, L.P., which became an acquisition candidate by Williams Companies in a deal valued at approximately $14 billion, news that was well received by the market. In June, Williams Companies announced a broader strategic review, putting the pending transaction in doubt, which tempered performance for Williams Partners, L.P. However, the fund’s stake in companies with NGL exposure hurt relative performance as NGL prices remained low.
●	The fund’s performance was once again helped by its midstream focus, which steered it away from upstream MLPs that continued to struggle in a low commodity price environment.

Energy Infrastructure Corp. (TYG) (continued)

Leverage update

The fund increased leverage utilization by $13.8 million during the 2nd quarter 2015, with proceeds primarily used to fund additional portfolio investments. During the quarter, $110 million of debt with a fixed rate of 6.11% matured and was refinanced with a blend of fixed and floating rate debt at a lower all-in interest rate and certain interest rate swap contracts were terminated. Leverage represented 24.4% of total assets at May 31, 2015, slightly below the long-term target level of 25% of total assets. At quarter-end, including the impact of interest rate swaps, approximately 72% of the leverage cost was fixed, the weighted-average maturity was 5.9 years and the weighted-average annual rate on our leverage was 3.24%. These rates will vary in the future as a result of changing floating rates, utilization of our credit facilities and as our leverage and swaps mature or are redeemed.

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is distributions received from investments, less expenses. The total distributions received from our investments include the amount received by us as cash distributions from investments, paid-in-kind distributions, and dividend and interest payments. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses, leverage costs and current income taxes. Current income taxes include taxes paid on our net investment income, in addition to foreign taxes, if any. Taxes incurred from realized gains on the sale of investments, expected tax benefits and deferred taxes are not included in DCF.

Distributions received from investments decreased approximately 0.9% as compared to 1st quarter 2015 due to increased distribution rates on our investments that was more than offset by the impact of various portfolio trading and merger activity. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased slightly during the quarter due to more days in the period, even though asset levels declined. Overall leverage costs decreased during the quarter as the impact of refinancing activity more than offset the impact of the increase in total leverage outstanding.

As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF decreased approximately 1.3% as compared to 1st quarter 2015. We paid a quarterly distribution of $0.645 per share, which represents an increase of 0.8% over the prior quarter and an increase of 11.2% over the 2nd quarter 2014 distribution. A majority of the increased distribution rate over the prior year is due to the fund mergers that took place in 3rd quarter 2014 and served to reduce overall expenses in the combined entity.

The Key Financial Data table discloses the calculation of DCF and should be read in conjunction with this discussion. The difference between distributions received from investments in the DCF calculation and total investment income as reported in the Statement of Operations, is reconciled as follows: the Statement of Operations, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), recognizes distribution income from MLPs and common stock on their ex-dates, whereas the DCF calculation may reflect distribution income on their pay dates; GAAP recognizes that a significant portion of the cash distributions received from MLPs and other investments are characterized as a return of capital and therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the DCF calculation includes the return of capital; and distributions received from investments in the DCF calculation include the value of dividends paid-in-kind (additional stock or MLP units), whereas such amounts are not included as income for GAAP purposes, and includes distributions related to direct investments when the purchase price is reduced in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The treatment of expenses in the DCF calculation also differs from what is reported in the Statement of Operations. In addition to the total operating expenses, including fee waiver, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, the DCF calculation reflects interest expense, realized and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swap settlements, distributions to preferred stockholders, other recurring leverage expenses, as well as taxes paid on net investment income. Non-recurring expenses related to the mergers are excluded from DCF. For 3rd quarter 2014, our DCF includes DCF from TYY and TYN for the portion of the quarter prior to the mergers (June 1, 2014 through June 22, 2014).

Income taxes

During 2nd quarter 2015, the fund’s deferred tax liability decreased by $35 million to $912 million, primarily as a result of the decline in value of its investment portfolio. The fund had net realized gains of $101 million during the quarter. To the extent that the fund has taxable income, it will owe federal and state income taxes. Tax payments can be funded from investment earnings, fund assets, or borrowings.

Tortoise
MLP Fund, Inc. (NTG)

Fund Description

NTG is a closed-end fund that focuses primarily on “midstream” energy infrastructure master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) that engage in the business of transporting, gathering and processing and storing natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). NTG seeks to provide stockholders with a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions.

Fund performance review

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based total returns for the second fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2015 were -5.6% and -1.4%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions), compared to the Tortoise MLP Index^SM, which returned -0.3%. Although oil prices appear to have somewhat stabilized, natural gas prices moved lower during the quarter, restraining the fund’s performance given its larger allocation to natural gas pipeline MLPs. The discount of the fund’s stock price relative to its NAV widened during the quarter, ending at -10.1%.

2nd fiscal quarter performance highlights
Market-based total return		(5.6)%
NAV-based total return		(1.4)%
Premium (discount) to NAV (as of 5/31/2015)		(10.1)%
Distributions paid per share		$0.4225
Distribution rate (as of 5/31/2015)		7.0%
Quarter-over-quarter distribution increase		0.0%
Year-over-year distribution increase		0.3%

Key asset performance drivers

A number of factors influenced the fund’s asset performance during the second fiscal quarter.

●	The fund’s focus on natural gas pipeline MLPs hurt performance, as they were the greatest detractors from both absolute and relative results, despite the continuing need for additional pipeline infrastructure.
●	Crude oil pipeline MLPs also detracted from absolute performance during the fiscal quarter. Although crude oil pipeline MLPs were less negatively affected by falling oil prices earlier in the year than other segments of the energy value chain, they also have been slower to rebound due to market concern in the short term that slowing production may result in fewer pipeline projects. The fund’s underweight exposure helped relative performance.
●	Refined product pipeline MLPs detracted from absolute and relative performance. The names that retreated the most were those with crude oil pipeline assets, along with previously strong performers that pulled back during the fiscal quarter.
●	Gathering and processing MLPs helped in absolute terms. The top contributor in this group (and among the fund’s largest holdings) was Williams Partners, L.P., which became an acquisition candidate by Williams Companies in a deal valued at approximately $14 billion, news that was well received by the market. In June, Williams Companies announced a broader strategic review, putting the pending transaction in doubt, which tempered performance for Williams Partners, L.P. However, the fund’s stake in companies with NGL exposure hurt relative performance.
●	The fund’s performance was once again helped by its midstream focus, which steered it away from upstream MLPs that continued to struggle in a low commodity price environment.

Note: Effective June 25, 2015, NTG will modify its non-fundamental investment policy that reduces the minimum amount it invests in equity securities of natural gas infrastructure MLPs from at least 70% of its total assets to at least 50%. This change is intended to provide more flexibility, broaden the portfolio’s diversification and total return potential. NTG will continue to seek to provide stockholders with an efficient vehicle to invest in a portfolio consisting primarily of energy infrastructure MLPs and their affiliates. Under normal circumstances, NTG will continue to invest at least 80% of total assets in equity securities of MLPs in the energy infrastructure sector.

2015 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2015

Leverage update

The fund increased leverage utilization during 2nd quarter 2015 by $6.8 million, with proceeds primarily used to fund additional portfolio investments. Leverage represented 24.5% of total assets at May 31, 2015, slightly below the long-term target level of 25% of total assets. Approximately 65% of the leverage cost was fixed, the weighted-average maturity was 3.0 years and the weighted-average annual rate on our leverage was 3.13%. These rates will vary in the future as a result of changing floating rates, utilization of our credit facility and as our leverage matures or is redeemed.

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is distributions received from investments, less expenses. The total distributions received from our investments include the amount we receive as cash distributions from MLPs, paid-in-kind distributions, and dividend and interest payments. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses, leverage costs and current income taxes. Current income taxes include taxes paid on our net investment income in addition to foreign taxes, if any. Taxes incurred from realized gains on the sale of investments, expected tax benefits and deferred taxes are not included in DCF.

Distributions received from investments decreased approximately 3.3% as compared to 1st quarter 2015 due to increased distribution rates on our investments that was more than offset by the impact of various portfolio trading and merger activity. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased slightly during the quarter due to more days in the period, even though asset levels declined. Leverage costs rose slightly along with a small increase in average leverage outstanding as compared to the 1st quarter 2015.

As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF decreased approximately 5.2% as compared to 1st quarter 2015. We paid a quarterly distribution of $0.4225 per share, which was equal to the distribution paid in the prior quarter and an increase of 0.3% over the 2nd quarter 2014 distribution.

The Key Financial Data table discloses the calculation of DCF and should be read in conjunction with this discussion. The difference between distributions received from investments in the DCF calculation and total investment income as reported in the Statement of Operations, is reconciled as follows: the Statement of Operations, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), recognizes distribution income from MLPs and common stock on their ex-dates, whereas the DCF calculation may reflect distribution income on their pay dates; GAAP recognizes that a significant portion of the cash distributions received from MLPs are characterized as a return of capital and therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the DCF calculation includes the return of capital; and distributions received from investments in the DCF calculation include the value of dividends paid-in-kind (additional stock or MLP units), whereas such amounts are not included as income for GAAP purposes, and includes distributions related to direct investments when the purchase price is reduced in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The treatment of expenses in the DCF calculation also differs from what is reported in the Statement of Operations. In addition to the total operating expenses, including fee waiver, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, the DCF calculation reflects interest expense, distributions to preferred stockholders, other recurring leverage expenses, as well as taxes paid on net investment income.

“Net Investment Income (Loss), before Income Taxes” on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 2015 fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2015 (in thousands):

Amortization of debt issuance costs		190			96
DCF	$	38,940		$	18,951

Income taxes

During 2nd quarter 2015, the fund’s deferred tax liability decreased by $13 million to $304 million, primarily as a result of the decline in value of its investment portfolio. The fund had net realized gains of $41 million during the quarter. As of November 30, 2014, the fund had net operating losses of $166 million for federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the fund has taxable income in the future that is not offset by net operating losses, it will owe federal and state income taxes. Tax payments can be funded from investment earnings, fund assets, or borrowings.

2015 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2015

Tortoise
Pipeline & Energy Fund, Inc. (TTP)

Fund description

TTP is a closed-end fund that invests primarily in equity securities of pipeline companies that transport natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), crude oil and refined products and, to a lesser extent, in other energy infrastructure companies. TTP seeks a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions paid to stockholders.

Fund performance review

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based total returns for the second fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2015 were -3.7% and 0.5%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions), compared to the Tortoise North American Pipeline Index^SM, which returned 1.1%. This performance reflects a relatively improved market backdrop as oil prices appeared to have somewhat stabilized, although concerns about rising interest rates and the low price of oil continued to be headwinds for the fund during the period. The discount of the fund’s stock price relative to its NAV widened during the quarter, ending at -13.8%.

2nd fiscal quarter performance highlights
Market-based total return		(3.7)%
NAV-based total return		0.5%
Premium (discount) to NAV (as of 5/31/2015)		(13.8)%
Distributions paid per share		$0.45
Distribution rate (as of 5/31/2015)		6.5%
Quarter-over-quarter distribution increase		0.0%
Year-over-year distribution increase		10.4%

Please refer to the inside front cover of this report for important information about the fund’s distribution policy.

Key asset performance drivers

A number of factors influenced the fund’s asset performance during the second fiscal quarter.

●	Crude oil pipeline holdings detracted from both absolute and relative performance during the fiscal quarter. Although crude oil pipeline companies were less negatively affected by falling oil prices earlier in the year than other segments of the energy value chain, they also have been slower to rebound due to market concern in the short term that slowing production may result in fewer pipeline projects.
●	Refined product pipeline holdings also detracted from absolute and relative performance. The names that detracted the most were those that had exposure to crude oil pipeline assets, along with previously strong performers that pulled back during the fiscal quarter.
●	Exposure to natural gas pipeline companies added the most to absolute performance and also helped relative results due to the continuing need for additional pipeline takeaway capacity, particularly out of the Northeast, where needs are most critical.
●	Gathering and processing companies helped in absolute terms. The top contributor in this group was Williams Companies, which announced its intended acquisition of Williams Partners, L.P. in a deal valued at approximately $14 billion, which was well received by the market. In June, Williams Companies announced a broader strategic review, putting the pending transaction in doubt, further boosting performance for Williams Companies. However, the fund’s overweight stake in companies with NGL exposure hurt relative performance as NGL prices remained low.
●	The fund’s covered call strategy, which focuses on independent energy companies that are key pipeline transporters, enabled the fund to generate current income. In higher volatility environments, we typically extend the out-of-the-money and try to generate the same monthly income. The notional amount of the fund’s covered calls averaged approximately 10% of total assets, and their out-of-the-money percentage at the time written averaged approximately 8.2% during the quarter.

Leverage update

The fund decreased overall leverage utilization during 2nd quarter 2015 by $0.9 million. Leverage represented 21.5% of total assets at May 31, 2015, below the long-term target level of 25% of total assets. Approximately 49% of the leverage cost was fixed, the weighted-average maturity was 3.6 years and the weighted-average annual rate on our leverage was 2.68%. These rates will vary in the future as a result of changing floating rates, utilization of our credit facility and as our leverage matures or is redeemed.

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is income from investments less expenses. Income from investments includes the amount we receive as cash or paid-in-kind distributions from common stock, master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), affiliates of MLPs, and pipeline and other energy companies in which we invest, and dividend payments on short-term investments we own. Income also includes the premiums received from sales of covered call options, net of amounts paid to buy back out-of-the-money options. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses and leverage costs.

Distributions received from investments decreased approximately 2.1% as compared to 1st quarter 2015, primarily due to lower net premiums on options written which was slightly offset by higher distribution rates on investments. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased during the quarter due to a reduction in the advisory fee waiver that took place during the prior quarter and increased asset-based fees. Leverage costs increased slightly during the quarter due to more days in the period, although refinancing activity that took place during the prior quarter lowered the fund’s weighted-average leverage cost. As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF declined by approximately 4.5% as compared to 1st quarter 2015. In addition, the fund had net realized gains on investments of $1.7 million during 2nd quarter 2015.

We paid a quarterly distribution of $0.45 per share, which was equal to the regular distribution paid in the prior quarter and represents an increase of 10.4% over the prior year. We expect that the payment of increased quarterly distributions will cover the majority of our required annual distributions of net investment company taxable income and net realized gains for income and excise tax purposes, although an additional payment may be made in the last calendar quarter of the year to cover any remaining required minimum distribution amounts and to avoid being subject to excise taxes. The fund’s distribution policy is described on the inside front cover of this report.

The Key Financial Data table discloses the calculation of DCF and should be read in conjunction with this discussion. The difference between income from investments in the DCF calculation and total investment income as reported in the Statement of Operations, is reconciled as follows: (1) the Statement of Operations, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), recognizes distributions and dividend income from MLPs and common stock on their ex-dates, whereas the DCF calculation may reflect distributions and dividend income on their pay dates; (2) GAAP recognizes that a significant portion of the cash distributions received from MLPs are characterized as a return of capital and therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the DCF calculation includes the return of capital; (3) income from investments in the DCF calculation includes the value of dividends paid-in-kind (additional stock or units), whereas such amounts are not included as income for GAAP purposes; and (4) net premiums on options written (premiums received less amounts paid to buy back out-of-the-money options) with expiration dates during our fiscal quarter are included in the DCF calculation, whereas GAAP recognizes the net effect of options written as realized and unrealized gains (losses).

“Net Investment Income” on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 2015 fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2015 (in thousands):

	2015 YTD		2nd Qtr 2015

Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (TPZ)

Fund description

TPZ is a closed-end fund that seeks to invest in fixed-income and dividend-paying equity securities of power and energy infrastructure companies that provide stable and defensive characteristics throughout economic cycles. TPZ seeks to provide a high level of current income to stockholders, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.

Fund performance review

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based total returns for the second fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2015 were 3.1% and 1.8%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions), compared to the performance of the TPZ Benchmark Composite*, which returned -0.7%. Although some headwinds remain, this positive performance reflects a relatively improved market backdrop as oil prices appeared to have stabilized during the quarter and the fund’s fixed income and power company holdings also helped performance during a volatile market. The discount of the fund’s stock price relative to its NAV narrowed during the quarter, ending at -8.3%.

2nd fiscal quarter performance highlights
Market-based total return		3.1%
NAV-based total return		1.8%
Premium (discount) to NAV (as of 5/31/2015)		(8.3)%
Monthly distributions paid per share	$	0.1375
Distribution rate (as of 5/31/2015)		6.2%
Quarter-over-quarter distribution increase		0.0%
Year-over-year distribution increase		10.0%

Please refer to the inside front cover of the report for important information about the fund’s distribution policy.

The TPZ Benchmark Composite includes the BofA Merrill Lynch US Energy Index (CIEN), the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Electricity Index (CUEL) and the Tortoise MLP Index^® (TMLP). It is comprised of a blend of 70% fixed income and 30% equity securities issued by companies in the power and energy infrastructure sectors.

Key asset performance drivers

A number of factors influenced the fund’s asset performance during the second fiscal quarter.

●	The fund’s equity holdings performed better than its fixed income holdings due to concerns about rising interest rates.
●	Power companies, particularly YieldCos (utility and power companies with a high yield and visible growth component) added the most to performance during the quarter due to increased demand for renewable power sources, particularly in wind and solar.
●	Natural gas pipeline companies continued to benefit from the need for additional pipeline takeaway capacity, particularly out of the Northeast, where needs are the most critical.
●	Gathering and processing companies helped in absolute terms. The biggest factor driving performance for holdings in this group was the market’s assumption that Williams Companies’ intended acquisition of Williams Partners L.P. should result in the debt being rated as investment grade. In June, Williams Companies announced a broader strategic review, putting the pending transaction in doubt, further boosting performance for Williams Companies.
●	Crude oil pipeline MLPs detracted from absolute performance during the quarter. Although pipeline companies were less negatively affected by falling oil prices earlier in the year than other segments of the energy value chain, they have also been slower to rebound due to market concern in the short term that slowing production may result in fewer pipeline projects.

2015 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2015

Leverage update

The fund increased leverage utilization during 2nd quarter 2015 by $0.8 million. Leverage represented 19.8% of total assets at May 31, 2015, slightly below the long-term target level of 20% of total assets. Including the impact of interest rate swaps, about 52% of the leverage cost was fixed, the weighted-average maturity was 2.0 years and the weighted-average annual rate on our leverage was 1.71%. These rates will vary in the future as a result of changing floating rates and as our swaps mature or are redeemed.

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is income from investments less expenses. Income from investments includes the accrued interest from corporate bonds, cash distributions and paid-in-kind distributions from master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and other equity investments and dividends earned from short-term investments. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses and leverage costs.

Distributions received from investments decreased 1.2% as compared to 1st quarter 2015 due to increased distribution rates on our investments which was more than offset by the impact of various portfolio trading activity during the quarter. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased during the quarter due primarily due to higher asset-based fees. Total leverage costs increased as a result of increased leverage utilization during the quarter. As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF decreased approximately 3.6% as compared to 1st quarter 2015. In addition, the fund had net realized gains on investments of $4.5 million during 2nd quarter 2015.

We paid monthly distributions of $0.1375 per share during 2nd quarter 2015, an increase of 10.0% over the monthly distributions paid in the prior quarter. Our Board of Directors has declared monthly distributions of $0.1375 per share to be paid during 3rd quarter 2015. We expect that the payment of increased monthly distributions will cover the majority of our required annual distributions of net investment company taxable income and net realized gains for income and excise tax purposes, although an additional payment may be made in the last calendar quarter of the year to cover any remaining required minimum distribution amounts and to avoid being subject to excise taxes. The fund’s distribution policy is described on the inside front cover of this report.

The Key Financial Data table discloses the calculation of DCF and should be read in conjunction with this discussion. The difference between income from investments in the DCF calculation and total investment income as reported in the Statement of Operations, is reconciled as follows: (1) U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), recognizes distribution income from MLPs and common stock on their ex-dates, whereas the DCF calculation may reflect distribution income on their pay dates; (2) GAAP recognizes that a significant portion of the cash distributions received from MLPs are characterized as a return of capital and therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the DCF calculation includes the return of capital; (3) income from investments in the DCF calculation includes the value of dividends paid-in-kind (additional stock or units), whereas such amounts are not included as income for GAAP purposes; and (4) amortization of premium or discount for all securities is calculated using the yield to worst methodology for GAAP purposes while yield to call is used in calculating amortization for long-dated hybrid securities in the DCF calculation. The treatment of expenses in the DCF calculation also differs from what is reported in the Statement of Operations. In addition to the total operating expenses, including fee waiver, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, the DCF calculation reflects interest expense and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swap settlements as leverage costs.

“Net Investment Income” on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 2015 fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2015 (in thousands):

	2015 YTD				2nd Qtr 2015
Net investment income		$	3,444			$	1,905
Adjustments to reconcile to DCF:
Dividends paid in stock			502				223
Distributions characterized as
return of capital			980				291

1. General Organization

This report covers the following companies, each of which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”): Tortoise Energy Independence Fund, Inc. (“NDP”), Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp. (“TYG”), Tortoise MLP Fund, Inc. (“NTG”), Tortoise Pipeline & Energy Fund, Inc. (“TTP”), and Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (“TPZ”). These companies are individually referred to as a “Fund” or by their respective NYSE symbols, or collectively as the “Funds,” and each is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Each of NDP, TYG, NTG and TTP has a primary investment objective to seek a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions. TPZ has a primary investment objective to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.

Pursuant to a plan of merger approved by the stockholders of each of TYG, Tortoise Energy Capital Corporation (“TYY”) and Tortoise North American Energy Corporation (“TYN”), TYG acquired all of the net assets of TYY ($766,488,956) and TYN ($210,449,285) on June 23, 2014 and is the accounting survivor of the mergers. A total of 20,072,262 shares of common stock of TYY were exchanged for 15,043,739 shares of common stock of TYG immediately after the closing date. A total of 6,316,079 shares of common stock of TYN were exchanged for 4,130,451 shares of common stock of TYG immediately after the closing date. These mergers qualified as tax-free reorganizations under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code. TYY’s net assets included $718,750,155 of net unrealized appreciation on investments and $33,507,606 of accumulated net realized gain on investments. TYN’s net assets included $148,701,368 of net unrealized appreciation of investments and $10,257,163 of accumulated net realized gain on investments. The aggregate net assets of TYG prior to the mergers totaled $1,469,645,683 and following the mergers the combined net assets of TYG totaled $2,446,583,924.

Assuming the mergers of TYY and TYN with and into TYG had been completed on December 1, 2013, the combined pro forma results for the year ended November 30, 2014 would have been as follows: net investment loss of $(32,685,001), net realized gain on investments and interest rate swaps of $186,798,444, net unrealized appreciation of investments and interest rate swap contracts of $239,792,532 and net increase in net assets applicable to common stockholders resulting from operations of $393,905,975.

Because the combined entities have been managed as a single integrated entity since the mergers were completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of TYY and TYN that have been included in TYG’s financial statements since June 22, 2014.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

A. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the amount of income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Security Valuation
In general, and where applicable, the Funds use readily available market quotations based upon the last updated sales price from the principal market to determine fair value. The Funds primarily own securities that are listed on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market. The Funds value those securities at their last sale price on that exchange or over-the-counter market on the valuation date. If the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Funds use the price from the exchange that it considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities listed on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or over-the-counter market on such day, the security is valued at the mean between the last bid price and last ask price on such day. These securities are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as further described below.

Restricted securities are subject to statutory or contractual restrictions on their public resale, which may make it more difficult to obtain a valuation and may limit a fund’s ability to dispose of them. Investments in private placement securities and other securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued in good faith by using certain fair value procedures. Such fair value procedures consider factors such as discounts to publicly traded issues, time until conversion date, securities with similar yields, quality, type of issue, coupon, duration and rating. If events occur that affect the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities before the net asset value has been calculated (a “significant event”), the portfolio securities so affected are generally priced using fair value procedures.

An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a private placement transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), is subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s liquidity and fair value. If such a security is convertible into publicly-traded common shares, the security generally will be valued at the common share market price adjusted by a percentage discount due to the restrictions and categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that such securities are convertible or otherwise become freely tradable within a time frame that may be reasonably determined, an amortization schedule may be used to determine the discount. If the security has characteristics that are dissimilar to the class of security that trades on the open market, the security will generally be valued and categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

2015 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2015

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price on any exchange on which they trade. If no sales are reported on any exchange on the measurement date, exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the highest bid and last lowest asked prices obtained as of the closing of the exchanges on which the option is traded. The value of Flexible Exchange Options (FLEX Options) are determined (i) by an evaluated price as determined by a third-party valuation service; or (ii) by using a quotation provided by a broker-dealer.

The Funds generally value debt securities at evaluated bid prices obtained from an independent third-party valuation service that utilizes a pricing matrix based upon yield data for securities with similar characteristics, or based on a direct written broker-dealer quotation from a dealer who has made a market in the security. Debt securities with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued by using industry-accepted models, which discount the estimated future cash flows based on a forward rate curve and the stated terms of the interest rate swap agreement by using interest rates currently available in the market, or based on dealer quotations, if available, and are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments and financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 —	quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 —	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
Level 3 —	significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables provide the fair value measurements of applicable assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of May 31, 2015. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

None of the Funds held any Level 3 securities during the period ended May 31, 2015. The Funds utilize the beginning of reporting period method for determining transfers between levels. During the period ended May 31, 2015, TerraForm Power, Inc. common units held by TPZ in the amount of $4,054,700 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when they converted into registered and unrestricted common units of TerraForm Power, Inc. There were no other transfers between levels for the Funds during the period ended May 31, 2015.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from investments generally are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital. The Funds estimate the allocation of distributions between investment income and return of capital at the time such distributions are received based on information provided by each portfolio company. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from the portfolio companies after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Funds.

Subsequent to November 30, 2014, the Funds reallocated the amount of investment income and return of capital they recognized for the period from December 1, 2013 through November 30, 2014 based on the 2014 tax reporting information received from the individual MLPs. These reclassifications amounted to:

In addition, the Funds may be subject to withholding taxes on foreign-sourced income. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned.

D. Foreign Currency Translation
For foreign currency, investments in foreign securities, and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, the Funds translate these amounts into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange on the valuation date, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of securities.

E. Federal and State Income Taxation
TYG and NTG, as corporations, are each obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. Currently, the highest regular marginal federal income tax rate for a corporation is 35%. TYG and NTG may be subject to a 20% federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) on its federal alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that its AMT exceeds its regular federal income tax.

NDP, TTP and TPZ each qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). As a result, NDP, TTP and TPZ generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income and gains that they distribute each taxable year to stockholders if they meet certain minimum distribution requirements. RICs are required to distribute substantially all of their income, in addition to meeting certain asset diversification requirements, and are subject to a 4% non-deductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the fund makes sufficient distributions to satisfy the excise tax avoidance requirement.

The Funds invest in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, each Fund reports its allocable share of the MLP’s taxable income in computing its own taxable income. The Funds’ tax expense or benefit, if applicable, is included in the Statement of Operations based on the component of income or gains (losses) to which such expense or benefit relates. For TYG and NTG, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Funds’ policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. As of May 31, 2015, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions and no penalties and interest were accrued. The Funds do not expect any change in their unrecognized tax positions in the next twelve months. Tax years since the year ended November 30, 2005 for TYG, since inception for NDP, NTG and TTP, and since the year ended November 30, 2011 for TPZ remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

F. Distributions to Stockholders
Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may not declare or pay distributions to its common stockholders if it does not meet asset coverage ratios required under the 1940 Act or the rating agency guidelines for its debt and preferred stock following such distribution. The amount of any distributions will be determined by the Board of Directors. The character of distributions to common stockholders made during the year may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

As RICs, NDP, TTP and TPZ each intend to make cash distributions of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to common stockholders. In addition, on an annual basis, NDP, TTP and TPZ each may distribute additional capital gains in the last calendar quarter if necessary to meet minimum distribution requirements and thus avoid being subject to excise taxes. Distributions paid to stockholders in excess of investment company taxable income and net realized gains will be treated as return of capital to stockholders.

Tortoise Capital Advisors

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Distributions to mandatory redeemable preferred (“MRP”) stockholders are accrued daily based on applicable distribution rates for each series and paid periodically according to the terms of the agreements. The Funds may not declare or pay distributions to its preferred stockholders if it does not meet a 200% asset coverage ratio for its debt or the rating agency basic maintenance amount for the debt following such distribution. The character of distributions to preferred stockholders made during the year may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

For tax purposes, distributions to stockholders for the year ended November 30, 2014 were characterized as follows:

	NDP*			TYG						NTG						TTP*						TPZ*
	Common			Common			Preferred			Common			Preferred			Common			Preferred			Common
Qualified dividend income		12	%		100	%		100	%		92	%		100	%		1	%		1	%		7	%
Ordinary dividend income		56	%		—			—			—			—			—			—			58	%
Return of capital		5	%		—			—			8	%		—			—			—			—
Long-term capital gain		27	%		—			—			—			—			99	%		99	%		35	%

* For Federal income tax purposes, distributions of short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions.

The tax character of distributions paid to common and preferred stockholders for the current year will be determined subsequent to November 30, 2015.

G. Offering and Debt Issuance Costs
Offering costs related to the issuance of common stock are charged to additional paid-in capital when the stock is issued. Debt issuance costs related to senior notes and MRP Stock are capitalized and amortized over the period the debt or MRP Stock is outstanding.

TYG:
Capitalized costs (excluding underwriter commissions) were reflected during the period ended May 31, 2015 for Series II Notes ($16,898), Series JJ Notes ($33,797) and Series KK Notes ($16,898) that were issued in December 2014, for Series LL Notes ($26,350), Series MM Notes ($39,275), Series NN Notes ($27,435) and Series OO Notes ($27,435) that were issued in April 2015, for MRP C Shares ($23,900) that were issued in the prior year and for additional amounts of MRP D Shares ($471,206) and MRP E Shares ($457,094) that were issued in December 2014.

TTP:
Capitalized costs (excluding underwriter commissions) were reflected during the period ended May 31, 2015 for the Series E Notes ($25,779), Series F Notes ($15,467) and Series G Notes ($15,467) that were issued in December 2014.

There were no offering or debt issuance costs recorded during the period ended May 31, 2015 for NDP, NTG or TPZ.

H. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. The Funds do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value during the reporting period, and amounts accrued under the agreements, included as unrealized gains or losses in the accompanying Statements of Operations. Derivative instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement allow a Fund and the counterparty to the instrument to offset any exposure to the other party with amounts owed to the other party. The fair value of derivative financial instruments in a loss position are offset against the fair value of derivative financial instruments in a gain position, with the net fair value appropriately reflected as an asset or liability within the accompanying Statements of Assets & Liabilities.

TYG and TPZ use interest rate swap contracts in an attempt to manage interest rate risk. Cash settlements under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts and the termination of such contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

NDP and TTP seek to provide current income from gains earned through an option strategy which normally consists of writing (selling) call options on selected equity securities in the portfolio (“covered calls”). The premium received on a written call option is initially recorded as a liability and subsequently adjusted to the then current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing call options that expire unexercised are recorded as a realized gain on the expiration date. Premiums received from writing call options that are exercised are added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to calculate the realized gain (loss). If a written call option is repurchased prior to its exercise, the realized gain (loss) is the difference between the premium received and the amount paid to repurchase the option.

I. Indemnifications
Under each of the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

J. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and include money market fund accounts.

K. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a note shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of that note. ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and must be applied retrospectively. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and must be applied retrospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on the financial statements.

3. Concentration Risk

Each of the Funds concentrates its investments in the energy sector. Funds that primarily invest in a particular sector may experience greater volatility than companies investing in a broad range of industry sectors. A Fund may, for defensive purposes, temporarily invest all or a significant portion of its assets in investment grade securities, short-term debt securities and cash or cash equivalents. To the extent a Fund uses this strategy, it may not achieve its investment objective.

4. Agreements

The Funds have each entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). The Funds each pay the Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average monthly total assets (including any assets attributable to leverage and excluding any net deferred tax asset) minus accrued liabilities (other than net deferred tax liability, debt entered into for purposes of leverage and the aggregate liquidation preference of outstanding preferred stock) (“Managed Assets”), in exchange for the investment advisory services provided. Waived fees are not subject to recapture by the Adviser. The annual fee rates paid to the Adviser as of May 31, 2015 are as follows:

NDP —	1.10%, less a fee waiver of 0.15% during calendar year 2014 and 0.10% during calendar years 2015 and 2016.
TYG —	0.95% up to $2,500,000,000, 0.90% between $2,500,000,000 and $3,500,000,000, and 0.85% above $3,500,000,000.
NTG —	0.95%, less a fee waiver of 0.10% during calendar year 2014 and 0.05% during calendar year 2015.
TTP —	1.10%, less a fee waiver of 0.15% during calendar year 2014, 0.10% during calendar year 2015, and 0.05% during calendar year 2016.
TPZ —	0.95%, less a fee waiver of 0.05% during calendar year 2014.

In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all fees due under the Investment Advisory Agreements for TYG and NTG related to the net proceeds received from the issuance of additional common stock under at-the-market equity programs for a six month period following the date of issuance.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as each Fund’s administrator. Each fund pays the administrator a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.04% of the first $1,000,000,000 of the Fund’s Managed Assets, 0.01% on the next $500,000,000 of Managed Assets and 0.005% on the balance of the Fund’s Managed Assets.

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Funds’ custodian. Each fund pays the custodian a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.004% of the Fund’s U.S. Dollar-denominated assets and 0.015% of the Fund’s Canadian Dollar-denominated assets, plus portfolio transaction fees.

5. Income Taxes

TYG and NTG:
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Components of TYG’s and NTG’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2015 are as follows:

	TYG		NTG
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	2,462,195	$	72,361,820
AMT credit		1,117,941		581,000
State of Kansas credit		4,055		—
		3,584,191		72,942,820
Deferred tax liabilities:
Basis reduction of investment in MLPs		265,888,997		145,742,817
Net unrealized gains on investment securities		649,729,153		231,634,388
		915,618,150		377,377,205
Total net deferred tax liability	$	912,033,959	$	304,434,385

Tortoise Capital Advisors

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

At May 31, 2015, a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets was not deemed necessary because each of TYG and NTG believe it is more likely than not that there is an ability to realize its deferred tax assets through future taxable income. Any adjustments to TYG’s or NTG’s estimates of future taxable income will be made in the period such determination is made.

Total income tax benefit for each of TYG and NTG differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 35% to net investment loss and net realized gains and unrealized losses on investments for the period ended May 31, 2015, as follows:

	TYG			NTG
Application of statutory income tax rate	$	(73,762,775	)	$	(51,554,280	)
State income taxes, net of federal tax effect		(4,130,715	)		(2,562,985	)
Permanent differences		1,832,855			211,416
Total income tax benefit	$	(76,060,635	)	$	(53,905,849	)

Total income taxes are computed by applying the federal statutory rate plus a blended state income tax rate. For the period ended May 31, 2015, the components of income tax benefit for TYG and NTG include the following:

	TYG			NTG
Current tax expense
Federal	$	8,075,584		$	—
State		717,374			—
Total current tax expense		8,792,958			—
Deferred tax benefit
Federal		(80,353,782	)		(51,352,878	)
State (net of federal tax effect)		(4,499,811	)		(2,552,971	)
Total deferred tax benefit		(84,853,593	)		(53,905,849	)
Total income tax benefit	$	(76,060,635	)	$	(53,905,849	)

TYG acquired all of the net assets of TYY and TYN on June 23, 2014 in a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the IRC. As of November 30, 2014, TYG and NTG had net operating losses for federal income tax purposes of approximately $6,578,000 (from TYN) and $165,645,000, respectively. The net operating losses may be carried forward for 20 years. If not utilized, these net operating losses will expire in the years ending November 30, 2026 and 2027 for TYG and in the years ending November 30, 2031 through 2033 for NTG. Utilization of TYG’s net operating losses from TYN is further subject to Section 382 limitations of the IRC, which limit tax attributes subsequent to ownership changes. The amount of deferred tax asset for net operating losses at May 31, 2015 includes amounts for the period from December 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015. As of November 30, 2014, AMT credits of $1,117,941 for TYG and $581,000 for NTG were available, which may be credited in the future against regular income tax. These credits may be carried forward indefinitely.

NDP, TTP and TPZ:
It is the intention of NDP, TTP and TPZ to each continue to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the IRC and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to return of capital distributions from underlying investments, wash sales, straddles, swaps, differences in the timing of recognition of gains or losses on investments and distributions in excess of current earnings. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or results of operations. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, may result in reclassifications of undistributed (accumulated) net investment income (loss), undistributed (accumulated) net realized gain (loss) and additional paid-in capital.

As of November 30, 2014, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

	NDP				TTP				TPZ
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	(9,392,242	)		$	115,372,795			$	77,416,294
Undistributed long-term capital gain		—				2,429,495				9,165,389
Other temporary differences		(3,164,659	)	*		(1,937,156	)	*		(23,253	)
Accumulated earnings (deficit)	$	(12,556,901	)		$	115,865,134			$	86,558,430

*Other temporary differences primarily related to losses deferred under straddle regulations per IRC Sec. 1092.

6. Restricted Securities

Certain of the Funds’ investments are restricted and are valued as determined in accordance with fair value procedures, as more fully described in Note 2. The carrying value per unit of unrestricted common units of Shell Midstream Partners, L.P. was $46.91 on May 12, 2015, the date of the purchase agreement and the date an enforceable right to acquire the restricted Shell Midstream Partners, L.P. units was obtained by each Fund.

For the period ended May 31, 2015, the amount of security transactions (other than U.S. government securities and short-term investments), is as follows:

	NDP		TYG		NTG		TTP		TPZ
Purchases	$	32,200,174	$	327,478,016	$	218,913,367	$	45,639,769	$	33,072,248

8. Senior Notes

TYG, NTG and TTP each have issued private senior notes (collectively, the “Notes”), which are unsecured obligations and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of a Fund, will rank: (1) senior to all of the Fund’s outstanding preferred shares, if any; (2) senior to all of the Fund’s outstanding common shares; (3) on parity with any unsecured creditors of the Fund and any unsecured senior securities representing indebtedness of the Fund and (4) junior to any secured creditors of the Fund. Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive periodic cash interest payments until maturity. The Notes are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system.

The Notes are redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of a Fund, subject to payment of any applicable make-whole amounts or early redemption premiums. The Notes for a Fund are also subject to a mandatory redemption if the Fund fails to meet asset coverage ratios required under the 1940 Act or the rating agency guidelines if such failure is not waived or cured. At May 31, 2015, each of TYG, NTG and TTP were in compliance with asset coverage covenants and basic maintenance covenants for its senior notes.

Details of each Fund’s outstanding Notes, including estimated fair value, as of May 31, 2015 are included below. The estimated fair value of each series of fixed-rate Notes was calculated, for disclosure purposes, by discounting future cash flows by a rate equal to the current U.S. Treasury rate with an equivalent maturity date, plus either 1) the spread between the interest rate on recently issued debt and the U.S. Treasury rate with a similar maturity date or 2) if there has not been a recent debt issuance, the spread between the AAA corporate finance debt rate and the U.S. Treasury rate with an equivalent maturity date plus the spread between the fixed rates of the Notes and the AAA corporate finance debt rate. The estimated fair value of floating rate Notes approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate fluctuates with changes in interest rates available in the current market. The estimated fair values in the tables below are Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy.

9. Preferred Stock

TYG, NTG and TTP each have issued and outstanding MRP Stock at May 31, 2015. The MRP Stock has rights determined by the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise indicated in the Funds’ Charter or Bylaws, or as otherwise required by law, the holders of MRP Stock have voting rights equal to the holders of common stock (one vote per MRP share) and will vote together with the holders of shares of common stock as a single class except on matters affecting only the holders of preferred stock or the holders of common stock. The 1940 Act requires that the holders of any preferred stock (including MRP Stock), voting separately as a single class, have the right to elect at least two directors at all times.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a fund may not declare dividends or make other distributions on shares of common stock or purchases of such shares if, at the time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to the outstanding MRP Stock would be less than 200%. The MRP Stock is also subject to a mandatory redemption if a Fund fails to meet an asset coverage ratio of at least 225% as determined in accordance with the 1940 Act or a rating agency basic maintenance amount if such failure is not waived or cured. At May 31, 2015, each of TYG, NTG and TTP were in compliance with asset coverage covenants and basic maintenance covenants for its MRP Stock.

Details of each Fund’s outstanding MRP Stock, including estimated fair value, as of May 31, 2015 is included below. At May 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of the TYG MRP B and TYG MRP C Stock are based on the closing market price per share of $10.031 and $10.300, respectively and are Level 1 valuations within the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the TYG MRP D Stock, TYG MRP E Stock, as well as each series of NTG MRP Stock and TTP MRP Stock, was calculated for disclosure purposes by discounting future cash flows by a rate equal to the current U.S. Treasury rate with an equivalent maturity date, plus either 1) the spread between the interest rate on recently issued preferred stock and the U.S. Treasury rate with a similar maturity date or 2) if there has not been a recent preferred stock issuance, the spread between the AA corporate finance debt rate and the U.S. Treasury rate with an equivalent maturity date plus the spread between the fixed rates of the MRP Stock and the AA corporate finance debt rate. The estimated fair values of the TYG MRP D Stock, TYG MRP E Stock, NTG MRP Stock and TTP MRP Stock are Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy.

TYG:
TYG has 65,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized and 29,500,000 shares of MRP Stock outstanding at May 31, 2015. TYG issued an additional 3,600,000 shares of MRP D Stock and an additional 3,500,000 shares of MRP E Stock on December 17, 2014. The MRP Stock has a liquidation value of $10.00 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid distributions, whether or not declared. The MRP B Stock and MRP C Stock pay cash distributions on the first business day of each month and trade on the NYSE under the symbol “TYG Pr B” and “TYG Pr C”, respectively. Holders of the MRP D Stock and MRP E Stock are entitled to receive cash interest payments semi-annually at a fixed rate until maturity. The MRP D Stock and MRP E Stock are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Under the terms of the credit facilities, the Funds must maintain asset coverage required under the 1940 Act. If a Fund fails to maintain the required coverage, it may be required to repay a portion of an outstanding balance until the coverage requirement has been met. At May 31, 2015, each Fund was in compliance with the terms of their credit facilities.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds have adopted the disclosure provisions of FASB Accounting Standard Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures about the Funds’ use of and accounting for derivative instruments and the effect of derivative instruments on the Funds’ results of operations and financial position. Tabular disclosure regarding derivative fair value and gain/loss by contract type (e.g., interest rate contracts, foreign exchange contracts, credit contracts, etc.) is required and derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 must be disclosed separately from those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Even though the Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to achieve an economic hedge, the Funds’ derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 because investment companies account for their derivatives at fair value and record any changes in fair value in current period earnings.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts
TYG and TPZ have each entered into interest rate swap contracts in an attempt to protect it from increasing interest expense on its leverage resulting from increasing interest rates. A decline in interest rates may result in a decline in the value of the swap contracts, which may result in a decline in the net assets of TYG and TPZ. At the time the interest rate swap contracts reach their scheduled termination, there is a risk that TYG and TPZ will not be able to obtain a replacement transaction, or that the terms of the replacement would not be as favorable as on the expiring transaction. In addition, if TYG or TPZ is required to terminate any swap contract early due to a decline in net assets below a threshold amount ($450,000,000 for TYG and $60,000,000 for TPZ), the net asset value declining 50% during a span of 12 months, or failing to maintain a required 300% asset coverage of the liquidation value of the outstanding debt, then TYG or TPZ could be required to make a payment to the extent of any net unrealized depreciation of the terminated swaps, in addition to redeeming all or some of its outstanding debt. TYG and TPZ each segregate a portion of its assets as collateral for the amount of any net liability of its interest rate swap contracts.

Details of the interest rate swap contracts outstanding for TYG as of May 31, 2015, are as follows:

TYG and TPZ are exposed to credit risk on the interest rate swap contracts if the counterparty should fail to perform under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts. The amount of credit risk is limited to the net appreciation of the interest rate swap contracts, if any, as no collateral is pledged by the counterparty. In addition, if the counterparty to the interest rate swap contracts defaults, the Fund would incur a loss in the amount of the receivable and would not receive amounts due from the counterparty to offset the interest payments on the Fund’s leverage.

The average notional amount of all open swap agreements for TYG and TPZ for the period ended May 31, 2015 was approximately $84,300,000 and $26,000,000, respectively.

Material Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest may arise from the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates carry on substantial investment activities for other clients, in which the Registrant has no interest, some of which may have investment strategies similar to the Registrant. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise from the fact that a related person of the Adviser has an interest in a limited liability company client, similar to a general partner interest in a partnership, for which the Adviser also serves as manager. The Adviser or its affiliates may have financial incentives to favor certain of these accounts over the Registrant. For example, the Adviser may have an incentive to allocate potentially more favorable investment opportunities to other funds and clients that pay the Adviser an incentive or performance fee. Performance and incentive fees also create the incentive to allocate potentially riskier, but potentially better performing, investments to such funds and other clients in an effort to increase the incentive fee. The Adviser also may have an incentive to make investments in one fund, having the effect of increasing the value of a security in the same issuer held by another fund. Any of their proprietary accounts or other customer accounts may compete with the Registrant for specific trades. The Adviser or its affiliates may give advice and recommend securities to, or buy or sell securities for, other accounts and customers, which advice or securities recommended may differ from advice given to, or securities recommended or bought or sold for, the Registrant, even though their investment objectives may be the same as, or similar to, the Registrant’s objectives. The Adviser has written allocation policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest. For instance, when two or more clients advised by the Adviser or its affiliates seek to purchase or sell the same publicly traded securities, the securities actually purchased or sold will be allocated among the clients on a good faith equitable basis by the Adviser in its discretion and in accordance with the clients’ various investment objectives and the Adviser’s procedures. In some cases, this system may adversely affect the price or size of the position the Registrant may obtain or sell. In other cases, the Registrant’s ability to participate in volume transactions may produce better execution for it. When possible, the Adviser combines all of the trade orders into one or more block orders, and each account participates at the average unit or share price obtained in a block order. When block orders are only partially filled, the Adviser considers a number of factors in determining how allocations are made, with the overall goal to allocate in a manner so that accounts are not preferred or disadvantaged over time. The Adviser also has allocation policies for transactions involving private placement securities, which are designed to result in a fair and equitable participation in offerings or sales for each participating client.

The Adviser also serves as investment adviser for four other publicly traded management investment companies, all of which invest in the energy sector.

The Adviser will evaluate a variety of factors in determining whether a particular investment opportunity or strategy is appropriate and feasible for the relevant account at a particular time, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the nature of the investment opportunity taken in the context of the other investments at the time; (2) the liquidity of the investment relative to the needs of the particular entity or account; (3) the availability of the opportunity (i.e., size of obtainable position); (4) the transaction costs involved; and (5) the investment or regulatory limitations applicable to the particular entity or account. Because these considerations may differ when applied to the Registrant and relevant accounts under management in the context of any particular investment opportunity, the Registrant’s investment activities, on the one hand, and other managed accounts, on the other hand, may differ considerably from time to time. In addition, the Registrant’s fees and expenses will differ from those of the other managed accounts. Accordingly, stockholders should be aware that the Registrant’s future performance and the future performance of the other accounts of the Adviser may vary.

Situations may occur when the Registrant could be disadvantaged because of the investment activities conducted by the Adviser and its affiliates for their other accounts. Such situations may be based on, among other things, the following: (1) legal or internal restrictions on the combined size of positions that may be taken for the Registrant or the other accounts, thereby limiting the size of the Registrant’s position; (2) the difficulty of liquidating an investment for the Registrant or the other accounts where the market cannot absorb the sale of the combined position; or (3) limits on co-investing in negotiated transactions under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Registrant and its affiliated companies may be precluded from co-investing in negotiated private placements of securities. As such, the Registrant will not co-invest with its affiliates in negotiated private placement transactions. The Adviser will observe a policy for allocating negotiated private investment opportunities among its clients that takes into account the amount of each client’s available cash and its investment objectives. These allocation policies may result in the allocation of investment opportunities to an affiliated company rather than to the Registrant.

To the extent that the Adviser sources and structures private investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), certain employees of the Adviser may become aware of actions planned by MLPs, such as acquisitions, which may not be announced to the public. It is possible that the Registrant could be precluded from investing in or selling securities of an MLP about which the Adviser has material, non-public information; however, it is the Adviser’s intention to ensure that any material, non-public information available to certain employees of the Adviser is not shared with the employees responsible for the purchase and sale of publicly traded MLP securities or to confirm prior to receipt of any material non-public information that the information will shortly be made public. The Registrant’s investment opportunities also may be limited by affiliations of the Adviser or its affiliates with energy infrastructure companies.

The Adviser and its principals, officers, employees, and affiliates may buy and sell securities or other investments for their own accounts and may have actual or potential conflicts of interest with respect to investments made on the Registrant’s behalf. As a result of differing trading and investment strategies or constraints, positions may be taken by principals, officers, employees, and affiliates of the Adviser that are the same as, different from, or made at a different time than positions taken for the Registrant. Further, the Adviser may at some time in the future, manage additional investment funds with the same investment objective as the Registrant’s.

Compensation

None of Messrs. Kessens, Mick, Sallee and Thummel receives any direct compensation from the Registrant or any other of the managed accounts reflected in the table above. All such accounts are managed by the Adviser. Each of Messrs. Kessens, Mick, Sallee and Thummel has a services agreement with the Adviser and receives a base guaranteed payment from the Adviser for the services he provides. They are also eligible for an annual cash bonus based on the Adviser’s earnings and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. Additional benefits received by Messrs. Kessens, Mick, Sallee and Thummel are normal and customary employee benefits generally available to all salaried employees. Each of Messrs. Kessens, Mick, Sallee and Thummel own an equity interest in Tortoise Holdings, LLC which wholly owns the Adviser, and each thus benefits from increases in the net income of the Adviser.
