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 $0.4075, each quarter to its common shareholders and TPZ distributes a fixed amount per common share, currently $0.125, 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. Each of TTP and TPZ 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 or TPZ is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect TTP’s or TPZ’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 2016 report to closed-end fund stockholders

Dear fellow stockholders,

After one of the most volatile times in recent energy history, resulting in significant oil price declines, we saw price improvement during the second fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2016. Driving this increase in oil prices was a continued decline in North American production coupled with strong demand. This further reinforces our thesis that U.S. production is driving oil prices more so than the influence of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Along with crude oil prices, performance also rebounded with the broad S&P Energy Select Sector^® Index returning 18.9% during the second fiscal quarter. This was a strong reversal from first fiscal quarter’s return of -15.9%. Energy fixed income improved as well, but did not rebound as much as energy equities.

On the geopolitical front, OPEC met in both Doha and Vienna, but as expected, the meetings were non-events and were overshadowed by supply outages in Nigeria and Canada. Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producing nation, is having ongoing issues with militants attacking pipelines and export facilities. These disruptions brought Nigeria’s production to the lowest monthly average since the late 1980s.¹The Canadian wildfires that started at the beginning of May are contained, but contributed to well over half of the supply outages that month.¹

Upstream

Upstream oil and gas producers had strong positive results for the second fiscal quarter, with the Tortoise North American Oil and Gas Producers Index^SM returning 38.9%. This was in stark contrast to the first fiscal quarter’s double-digit negative returns. The U.S. rig count continued to decline, contributing to slowing crude oil production. Estimates show May production averaged 8.7 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d), which is less than the April 2016 level and significantly below the level reached in April 2015.¹ U.S. production is estimated to average 8.6 MMbbl/d in 2016, down from an average of 9.4 MMbbl/d in 2015.¹ Crude oil prices, represented by West Texas Intermediate (WTI), opened the fiscal quarter at $33.75 per barrel and continued to climb, ending the quarter at $49.10 per barrel, indicating some balancing of the supply/demand equation.

We are encouraged to see management teams continuing to focus on increasing capital efficiency in the upstream sector. Before mid-2015, companies focused more on growth as well as exploration and production activities. More recently, many companies have turned their efforts to maximizing existing strategic assets. As such, capex budgets have continued to fall and we expect this trend to continue. As expected, we saw rising bankruptcies, especially with smaller producers that could not thrive in a low-price environment. These bankruptcies equated to a reduction of nearly 650,000 barrels per day of production, which has been instrumental in balancing the supply/demand equation. We anticipate that many of those companies will continue to produce to some extent as they restructure. The shale oil and gas producers who recognized the potential of U.S. shale early, and who acquired acreage at very low costs should still be able to prosper in the current price environment.

While we have seen a decrease in production, there has been a wide variety of results among the premier oil and gas basins. The Permian basin has flourished and remained strong while the Eagle Ford had the largest drop in production. Production in the Bakken has also declined, and production in the Marcellus remained essentially flat.

Natural gas inventories continued to be higher than average in 2016, which led to lower prices during the period. It will take time to work through the high inventories that were not depleted during the warm winter, and the overall oversupply caused by increased production over the past few years. Prices opened the fiscal quarter at $1.62 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), increasing to end the quarter at $2.09 per MMBtu. At the end of May, natural gas inventories were more than 30% higher than they were the same week last year and are expected to be at the highest levels on record in October 2016.¹Natural gas production growth is expected to rise only slightly through the rest of 2016, due to low prices and fewer rigs in operation. However, we expect to see production pick back up in 2017 as prices rise and increases in liquefied natural gas (LNGs) exports lead to expected production growth increases.¹

Midstream

The midstream sector faced technical pressure during the energy market decline, which weighed heavily on performance earlier this year. However, MLPs, as represented by the Tortoise MLP Index^®, bounced back during the second fiscal quarter returning 26.4%, with upstream MLPs outpacing their midstream counterparts. Broader pipeline companies also had a nice recovery, as reflected by the 17.2% return of the Tortoise North American Pipeline Index^SMduring the quarter.

Performance within the midstream sector was positive across the board, with gathering and processing companies significantly outperforming other sub-sectors due to their greater correlation to rising commodity prices, especially to natural gas liquids (NGLs). Crude oil and natural gas MLP and other pipeline companies also experienced positive performance as market sentiment focused more on underlying fundamentals. Additionally, refined product MLP and other pipeline companies continued to perform well due to strong demand in the low price environment.

Our long-term outlook for the midstream sector remains positive. MLP and other pipeline companies have shown signs of stabilization and we have seen a decrease in counterparty risk, mainly due to oil price improvements. These oil price increases have been leading to contracts being more in-line with producers’ ability to generate revenue, compared to the last six to eight months when producers were locked into contracts that made it nearly impossible to generate revenue, thus prompting contract renegotiations with pipeline companies. For many midstream companies, the priority centers on better capital efficiency. Companies are striving to ensure that their assets are fully optimized, which should lead to better returns for companies and ultimately investors. Growth opportunities still exist as our projection for capital investments in MLP, pipeline and related organic projects remains at $120 billion for 2016 to 2018.

Even with the positive momentum achieved during the fiscal quarter, some headwinds remained. The Energy Transfer Equity/Williams Companies deal lacked resolution until after the end of the fiscal quarter, and weighed on the space. The other chief concern within the midstream sector revolved around sustainability of distributions. Distribution coverage remained healthy and cuts within the sector

have not been widespread. However, we do expect some companies to cut their distributions in order to protect their credit ratings. The key issue is the ratings agencies and their threat of a downgrade of some companies from investment grade to high yield rather than a coverage outlook issue. This threat could force otherwise stable midstream companies to elect to temporarily reduce distributions in defense of their investment grade credit ratings. The market anticipated a cut for Plains All American Pipeline L.P., which has been the most vocal on this topic. Going through a simplification exercise to lower the cost of capital and eliminate incentive distribution rights (IDRs) seems logical for the company at this point.

Downstream

Energy companies in the downstream segment of the energy value chain, including refiners and petrochemical companies, have still been producing strong free cash flows at historically high levels although these levels have compressed slightly since the peak in 2015. Refiner margins, though still attractive, have continued to narrow with higher crude oil prices. On May 30, the average price for regular gasoline increased to $2.34 per gallon, although still a decrease of $0.44 from the same week last year.¹ Gasoline prices are expected to head lower for the rest of 2016. On the demand side, gasoline consumption is expected to increase by 1.8% in 2016, which will be the highest annual average consumption increase on record.¹

While the price of ethane, a petrochemical feedstock, has increased, demand from petrochemicals has also continued to rise, stemming from new facilities coming online. Even though the price of ethane has increased, demand for the end product has also increased, essentially neutralizing that potential headwind. The U.S. still provides some of the lowest priced ethane in the world, thus making the U.S. well positioned for exporting. Ethylene prices tend to move in tandem with crude oil prices, so we believe prices will continue to move higher. Power and utility companies did not participate as much in the recent rebound compared to other energy sectors since they are defensive by nature and their performance had not been impacted as greatly by lower commodity prices.

Capital markets

Capital markets became cautiously optimistic and more constructive with companies focusing on operating their core assets and divesting non-strategic business activities. Within the midstream sector, there were a few equity and debt MLP transactions, with the debt transactions being particularly well received by the market.

Exploration and productions companies are continuing to raise capital, totaling just over $13 billion for the fiscal quarter, mostly in debt. MLP and other pipeline companies raised close to $15 billion during the second fiscal quarter, with approximately $10 billion in equity and $5 billion in debt.

There were no IPOs in the energy sector during the second fiscal quarter. Merger and acquisition activity among MLP and pipeline companies picked up compared to the first fiscal quarter, highlighting the value of pipeline assets, with announced transactions totaling nearly $16 billion. The largest of these was TransCanada Corporation’s acquisition of Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. in a deal valued at approximately $12 billion.

Concluding thoughts

Coming into mid-year, it is encouraging to see improvement in the price of oil, which has helped performance across the energy value chain, particularly in the upstream segment, that is more closely tied to commodity prices. The market seemed to echo our long-term belief that midstream fundamentals remain solid, causing a significant performance bounce back in that segment of the value chain. Now that the economy has had some time to start to work off the oversupply in the market, combined with companies becoming more capital efficient, we expect that we will see more lasting improvements throughout the second half of this year and into 2017.

We anticipate that OPEC will continue to wield less influence than in recent decades. The non-events of the two most recent OPEC meetings reinforce our belief that the U.S. is becoming a significantly more relevant player in the global energy landscape. We continue to believe that 2016 will be a milestone year for U.S. energy exports, as the U.S. becomes a sustainable, long-term supplier of low-cost energy to the rest of the world.

Sincerely,

The Managing Directors

2016 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2016

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is distributions received from investments less expenses. The total distributions received from investments include the amount received 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 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 5.4% as compared to 1st quarter 2016 due primarily to net sales of investments at the end of 1st quarter 2016, partially offset by increased distribution rates on investments. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased 6.8% during the quarter due to higher asset-based fees. Overall leverage costs decreased 15.9% during the quarter due to lower average leverage outstanding as compared to 1st quarter 2016.

As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF decreased approximately 5.0% as compared to 1st quarter 2016. The fund paid a quarterly distribution of $0.655 per share, which was unchanged over the prior quarter and an increase of 1.6% over the 2nd quarter 2015 distribution. The fund has paid cumulative distributions to stockholders of $26.5325 per share since its inception in Feb. 2004.

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 other investments 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.

“Net Investment Loss, before Income Taxes” on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2016 (in thousands):

	2016 YTD			2nd Qtr 2016
Net Investment Loss,
before Income Taxes	$	(38,290	)	$	(27,624	)
Adjustments to reconcile to DCF:
Distributions characterized as
return of capital		100,119			59,733
Amortization of debt issuance costs		2,636			121
Interest rate swap expenses		(441	)		(219	)
Premium on redemption
of senior notes		900			—
Premium on redemption
of MRP stock		800			—
DCF	$	65,724		$	32,011

Leverage

The fund’s leverage utilization increased by $14.3 million during 2nd quarter 2016 for normal working capital purposes and represented 27.2% of total assets at May 31, 2016, above the long-term target level of 25% of total assets. The fund has maintained compliance with its applicable coverage ratios. At quarter-end, including the impact of interest rate swaps, approximately 84% of the leverage cost was fixed, the weighted-average maturity was 5.3 years and the weighted-average annual rate on leverage was 3.55%. These rates will vary in the future as a result of changing floating rates, utilization of the fund’s credit facilities and as leverage and swaps mature or are redeemed.

Income taxes

During 2nd quarter 2016, the fund’s deferred tax liability increased by $108 million to $428 million, primarily as a result of the increase in value of its investment portfolio. The fund had net realized gains of $74 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.

2016 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2016

Tortoise
MLP Fund, Inc. (NTG)

Fund description

NTG seeks to provide stockholders with a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions. NTG invests primarily in master limited partnerships (MLPs) and their affiliates that own and operate a network of pipeline and energy-related logistical infrastructure assets with an emphasis on those that transport, gather, process and store natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). NTG targets midstream MLPs benefiting from U.S. natural gas production and consumption expansion with minimal direct commodity exposure.

Fund performance review

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based returns for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2016 were 16.5% and 20.8%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions). Comparatively, the Tortoise MLP Index^® returned 26.4% for the same period. The fund’s positive performance reflects improving oil prices, which boosted performance across the energy value chain, including midstream MLPs, a decrease in counterparty risk with producers and more accommodative capital markets.

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is distributions received from investments less expenses. The total distributions received from investments include the amount received 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 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 3.1% as compared to 1st quarter 2016 due primarily to the impact of trading activity, partially offset by increased distribution rates on investments. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased 13.7% during the quarter due to higher asset-based fees. Leverage costs declined 1.7% during the quarter due to lower average leverage outstanding as compared to 1st quarter 2016.

As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF decreased approximately 6.1% as compared to 1st quarter 2016. The fund paid a quarterly distribution of $0.4225 per share, which was equal to the distribution paid in the prior quarter and 2nd quarter 2015. The fund has paid cumulative distributions to stockholders of $9.545 per share since its inception in July 2010.

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, common stock and other investments 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, common stock 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, distributions to preferred stockholders, other recurring leverage expenses, as well as taxes paid on net investment income.

“Net Investment Loss, before Income Taxes” on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2016 (in thousands):

	2016 YTD			2nd Qtr 2016
Net Investment Loss,
before Income Taxes	$	(17,629	)	$	(11,197	)

Amortization of debt issuance costs		213			92
Premium on redemption

DCF	$	38,884		$	18,834

Leverage

The fund’s leverage utilization increased by $8.3 million during 2nd quarter 2016 and represented 29.7% of total assets at May 31, 2016, above the long-term target level of 25% of total assets. The fund has maintained compliance with its applicable coverage ratios. At quarter-end, approximately 77% of the leverage cost was fixed, the weighted-average maturity was 3.4 years and the weighted-average annual rate on leverage was 3.57%. These rates will vary in the future as a result of changing floating rates, utilization of the fund’s credit facility and as leverage matures or is redeemed.

Income taxes

During 2nd quarter 2016, the fund’s deferred tax liability increased by $91 million to $135 million, primarily as a result of the increase in value of its investment portfolio. The fund had net realized gains of $34 million during the quarter. As of Nov. 30, 2015, the fund had net operating losses of $154 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.

Fund description

TTP seeks a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions paid to stockholders. TTP invests primarily in equity securities of North American 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.

Fund performance review

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based returns for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2016 were 41.4% and 43.0%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions). Comparatively, the Tortoise North American Pipeline Index^SM returned 17.2% for the same period. The fund’s positive performance reflects improving oil prices, which boosted performance across the energy value chain, including midstream MLPs and other pipeline companies, a decrease in counterparty risk with producers and more accommodative capital markets.

*Reflects the elimination of the capital gain component of the distribution. See “Distributable cash flow and distributions” on next page for additional information.

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

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 covered calls and try to generate the same monthly income. The notional amount of the fund’s covered calls averaged approximately 11.4% of total assets, and their out-of-the-money percentage at the time written averaged approximately 9.0% during the fiscal quarter.

Unlike the fund return, index return is pre-expenses and taxes.

2016 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2016

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is income from investments less expenses. Income from investments includes the amount received 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 the fund invests, and dividend payments on short-term investments. 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 0.5% as compared to 1st quarter 2015, primarily due to lower net premiums on options written during the quarter offset slightly by increased distribution rates on investments. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased by 13.3% during the quarter due to higher asset-based fees. Leverage costs declined 5.0% during the quarter due to lower average leverage outstanding as compared to 1st quarter 2016. As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF declined by 2.2% as compared to 1st quarter 2016. In addition, the fund had net realized losses on investments of $6.7 million during 2nd quarter 2016.

The fund paid a quarterly distribution of $0.4075 per share, which was unchanged over the prior quarter and a decrease of 9.4% from the 2nd quarter 2015 distribution. The fund eliminated the capital gain component of the distribution in 1st quarter 2016 because it does not anticipate the same level of capital gains following market declines over the past year. The fund may designate a portion of its distributions as capital gains and 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. The fund’s distribution policy is described on the inside front cover of this report. The fund has paid cumulative distributions to stockholders of $7.6525 per share since its inception in Oct. 2011.

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, common stock and other investments 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, common stock 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; (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 the 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 fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2016 (in thousands):

	2016 YTD		2nd Qtr 2016
Net Investment Income	$	450	$	(184	)

Amortization of debt issuance costs		65		14
Premium on redemption
of senior notes		100		—
DCF	$	8,144	$	4,026

Leverage

The fund’s leverage utilization was relatively unchanged during 2nd quarter 2016 and represented 24.2% of total assets at May 31, 2016, generally in-line with the long-term target level of 25% of total assets. The fund has maintained compliance with its applicable coverage ratios. At quarter-end, approximately 78% of the leverage cost was fixed, the weighted-average maturity was 3.5 years and the weighted-average annual rate on leverage was 3.27%. These rates will vary in the future as a result of changing floating rates, utilization of the fund’s credit facility and as leverage matures or is redeemed.

Please see the Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements for additional detail regarding critical accounting policies, results of operations, leverage and other important fund information.

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based returns for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2016 were 44.8% and 39.0%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions). Comparatively, the Tortoise North American Oil and Gas Producers Index^SM returned 38.9% for the same period. The fund’s performance reflects the improving conditions of upstream oil and gas producers with the increase in oil prices, driven by a decrease in North American production and an increase in demand. Liquids producers outperformed natural gas producers, particularly those in the Permian basin as it has had the best economics in the current commodity price environment.

2nd fiscal quarter highlights

The fund utilizes a covered call strategy, which seeks to generate income while reducing overall volatility. The premium income generated from this strategy helped to lower NAV volatility during the quarter. The notional amount of the fund’s covered calls averaged approximately 67.4% of total assets and their out-of-the-money percentage at the time written averaged approximately 10.4% during the fiscal quarter.

Distributable cash flow and distributions

Distributable cash flow (“DCF”) is income from investments less expenses. Income from investments includes the amount received as cash or paid-in-kind distributions from investments and dividend payments on short-term investments. 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 6.5% as compared to 1st quarter 2016, primarily due to higher net premiums on options written. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased 14.2% during the quarter due to higher asset-based fees. Total leverage costs increased approximately 5.5% during the quarter due to slightly higher leverage utilization. As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF increased by approximately 5.7% as compared to 1st quarter 2016. In addition, the fund had net realized losses on investments of $23.2 million during 2nd quarter 2016.

The fund maintained its quarterly distribution of $0.4375 per share during 2nd quarter 2016. The fund may designate a portion of its distributions as capital gains and 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. The fund has paid cumulative distributions to stockholders of $6.5625 per share since its inception in July 2012.

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, common stock and other investments 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, common stock 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; (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 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 Loss” on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2016 (in thousands):

	2016 YTD			2nd Qtr 2016
Net Investment Loss	$	(438	)	$	(192	)
Adjustments to reconcile to DCF:
Net premiums on options written		11,620			6,089
Distributions characterized
as return of capital		1,834			795
Dividends paid in stock		546			278
DCF	$	13,562		$	6,970

Leverage

The fund’s leverage utilization increased by $0.8 million as compared to Feb. 29, 2016. The fund utilizes all floating rate leverage that had an interest rate of 1.27% at May 31, 2016. Leverage represented 21.8% of total assets at quarter-end, above the long-term target level of 15% of total assets. The fund has maintained compliance with its applicable coverage ratios. The interest rate on the fund’s leverage will vary in the future along with changing floating rates.

Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (TPZ)

Fund description

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

Fund performance review

The fund’s market-based and NAV-based returns for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2016 were 26.9% and 28.2%, respectively (including the reinvestment of distributions). Comparatively, the TPZ Benchmark Composite* returned 12.5% for the same period. The fund’s positive performance reflects improving oil prices, which boosted performance across the energy value chain, including energy infrastructure companies, a decrease in counterparty risk with producers and more accommodative capital markets. Power companies, an area of focus for the fund, did not participate as much in the recent rebound compared to other energy companies since they are defensive by nature. Energy equities outperformed energy fixed income securities during the fiscal quarter.

2nd fiscal quarter highlights
Monthly distributions paid per share	$0.1250
Distribution rate (as of 5/31/2016)	8.0%
Quarter-over-quarter distribution decrease	(9.1)%	**

*	The TPZ Benchmark Composite includes the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. 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.

2016 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2016

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 increased 0.5% as compared to 1st quarter 2016 due to the impact of trading activity. Operating expenses, consisting primarily of fund advisory fees, increased 12.5% during the quarter due to higher asset-based fees. Total leverage costs decreased slightly during the quarter. As a result of the changes in income and expenses, DCF decreased approximately 1.8% as compared to 1st quarter 2016. In addition, the fund had net realized gains on investments of $0.1 million during 2nd quarter 2016.

The fund paid monthly distributions of $0.125 per share during 2nd quarter 2016, which represents the historical baseline distribution supported by DCF. The fund eliminated the capital gain component of the monthly distribution because it does not anticipate the same level of capital gains following market declines over the past year. The elimination of the capital gain component of $0.0125 per share resulted in a decrease of 9.1% from the distributions paid in the 1st quarter 2016. The fund’s Board of Directors has declared monthly distributions of $0.125 per share to be paid during 3rd quarter 2016. The fund may designate a portion of its distributions as capital gains and 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. The fund’s distribution policy is described on the inside front cover of this report. The fund has paid cumulative distributions to stockholders of $11.525 per share since its inception in July 2009.

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, common stock and other investments 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, common stock 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; (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 fiscal year-to-date and 2nd quarter 2016 (in thousands):

	2016 YTD			2nd Qtr 2016
Net Investment Income	$	2,542		$	971
Adjustments to reconcile to DCF:
Dividends paid in stock		491			250
Distributions characterized
as return of capital		2,462			1,506
Interest rate swap expenses		(147	)		(66	)
Change in amortization
methodology		36			7
DCF	$	5,384		$	2,668

Leverage

The fund’s leverage utilization increased by $3.1 million as compared to Feb. 29, 2016 and represented 25.7% of total assets at May 31, 2016, above the long-term target level of 20% of total assets. The fund has maintained compliance with its applicable coverage ratios. At quarter-end, including the impact of interest rate swaps, approximately 45% of the leverage cost was fixed, the weighted-average maturity was 1.3 years and the weighted-average annual rate on leverage was 1.76%. These rates will vary in the future as a result of changing floating rates and as swaps mature or are redeemed.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
May 31, 2016

1. General Organization

This report covers the following companies, each of which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”): Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp. (“TYG”), Tortoise MLP Fund, Inc. (“NTG”), Tortoise Pipeline & Energy Fund, Inc. (“TTP”), Tortoise Energy Independence Fund, Inc. (“NDP”), 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 TYG, NTG, TTP and NDP 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.

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 are traded in the 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.

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 last 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 at time of purchase 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.

2016 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2016

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

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, 2016. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

The Funds utilize the beginning of reporting period method for determining transfers between levels. During the period ended May 31, 2016, Rice Midstream Partners LP common units held by TYG, NTG, TTP, NDP, and TPZ in the amount of $10,725,914, $5,680,382, $558,987, $527,870, and $367,430, respectively, were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when they converted into registered and unrestricted common units of Rice Midstream Partners LP. There were no other transfers between levels for the Funds during the period ended May 31, 2016.

The following tables present each Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the period from December 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016:

The Funds own units of preferred stock of Targa Resources Corp. that were issued in a private placement transaction that closed on March 16, 2016. The preferred stock provides the purchaser an option to convert into common stock after 12 years. In addition, the preferred stock can be repurchased by the issuer at a price of $1,100 per share after five years and $1,050 per share after six years. As part of the transaction, each Fund was issued two classes of warrants. The warrants are restricted from exercise for one year following issuance.

A discounted cash flow model is being utilized to determine fair value and the Funds estimate the discount rate to apply to expected future cash flows. Unobservable inputs used to determine the discount rate include an illiquidity spread due to the shares being issued in the private market and a seniority spread due to the purchased private preferred units being lower in the capital structure than the issuer’s public preferred stock. An increase (decrease) in the illiquidity spread or seniority spread would lead to a corresponding decrease (increase) in fair value of the preferred stock. An option pricing model is utilized to determine fair value of each class of warrants. In using this methodology, the Funds estimate future volatility of the underlying common stock price. An increase (decrease) in estimated future volatility would lead to a corresponding increase (decrease) in fair value of the warrants.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

The following tables summarize the fair value and significant unobservable inputs that the Funds used to value its portfolio investments categorized as Level 3 as of May 31, 2016:

Assets at Fair Value	TYG		NTG		TTP		NDP		TPZ
Preferred Stock	$	22,871,450	$	12,878,987	$	2,215,875	$	2,099,195	$	1,771,229

Preferred Stock	Discounted cash flow model	Illiquidity spread	1.25%
Preferred Stock	Discounted cash flow model	Seniority spread	0.25%
Warrants	Option pricing model	Estimated future volatility	40%

C. Securities Transactions and Investment Income
Securities 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 historical information or regulatory filings. 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, 2015, the Funds reallocated the amount of investment income and return of capital they recognized for the period from December 1, 2014 through November 30, 2015 based on the 2015 tax reporting information received from the individual MLPs. These reclassifications amounted to:

Subsequent to the period ended February 29, 2016, the Funds reallocated the amount of investment income and return of capital they recognized in the current fiscal year based on their revised 2016 estimates, after considering the final allocations for 2015. These reclassifications amounted to:

	Increase (Decrease) in						Increase (Decrease) in						Increase in

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
Each of TYG and NTG, as corporations, are 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%. Each of 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.

TTP, NDP and TPZ each qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). As a result, TTP, NDP 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 Statements 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, 2016, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions and no penalties or interest was accrued. The Funds do not expect any change in their unrecognized tax positions in the next twelve months. The tax years ended on the following dates remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities:

TYG — November 30, 2012 through 2015

NTG — November 30, 2010 through 2015

TTP, NDP and TPZ — November 30, 2012 through 2015

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, TTP, NDP 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, TTP, NDP 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.

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, 2015 were characterized as follows:

	TYG				NTG				TTP*				NDP		TPZ
	Common		Preferred		Common		Preferred		Common		Preferred		Common		Common
Qualified dividend income	100	%	100	%	56	%	100	%	22	%	22	%	0	%	6	%
Ordinary dividend income	—		—		—		—		—		—		—		26	%
Return of capital	—		—		44	%	—		—		—		100	%	—
Long-term capital gain	—		—		—		—		78	%	78	%	—		68	%

* For Federal income tax purposes, distributions of short-term capital gains are included in qualified dividend income.

2016 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2016

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

The tax character of distributions paid to common and preferred stockholders for the current year will be determined subsequent to November 30, 2016.

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:
Offering costs (excluding underwriter discounts and commissions) of $202,354 related to the issuance of common stock were recorded to additional paid-in capital during the period ended May 31, 2016. Capitalized costs (excluding underwriter commissions) were reflected during the period ended May 31, 2016 for Series LL Notes ($1,238) and Series MM Notes ($1,858) that were issued in April 2015.

NTG:
Offering costs (excluding underwriter discounts and commissions) of $46,340 related to the issuance of common stock were recorded to additional paid-in capital during the period ended May 31, 2016. Capitalized costs (excluding underwriter commissions) were reflected during the period ended May 31, 2016 for Series L Notes ($42,136) and Series M Notes ($21,068) that were issued in December 2015 and for MRP C Shares ($12,594) and MRP D Shares ($100,749) that were issued in December 2015.

There were no offering or debt issuance costs recorded during the period ended May 31, 2016 for TTP, NDP 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.

TTP and NDP seek to provide current income from gains earned through an option strategy that normally consists of writing (selling) call options on selected equity securities held 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 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 pronouncements 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. Average monthly Managed Assets is the sum of the daily Managed Assets for the month divided by the number of days in the month. Accrued liabilities are expenses incurred in the normal course of each Fund’s operations. Waived fees are not subject to recapture by the Adviser. The annual fee rates paid to the Adviser as of May 31, 2016 are as follows:

	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 0.05% during calendar year 2015.
	TTP — 1.10%, less a fee waiver of 0.10% during calendar year 2015, and 0.05% during calendar year 2016.
	NDP — 1.10%, less a fee waiver of 0.10% during calendar years 2015 and 2016.
	TPZ — 0.95%.

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, 2016 are as follows:

	TYG		NTG
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	1,384,025	$	33,225,719
Capital loss carryforwards		4,581,873		25,706,716
AMT credit		—		779,797
		5,965,898		59,712,232
Deferred tax liabilities:
Basis reduction of investment in MLPs		269,741,956		143,030,540
Net unrealized gains on investment securities		164,054,041		51,720,213
		433,795,997		194,750,753
Total net deferred tax liability	$	427,830,099	$	135,038,521

At May 31, 2016, 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.

2016 2nd Quarter Report | May 31, 2016

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

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 and unrealized gains (losses) on investments for the period ended May 31, 2016, as follows:

	TYG		NTG
Application of statutory income tax rate	$	21,750,608	$	32,068,426

Total income tax expense	$	25,134,409	$	34,283,345

Total income taxes are computed by applying the federal statutory rate plus a blended state income tax rate.

For the period ended May 31, 2016, the components of income tax expense (benefit) for TYG and NTG include the following:

	TYG			NTG

Total income tax expense	$	25,134,409		$	34,283,345

TYG acquired all of the net assets of Tortoise Energy Capital Corporation (“TYY”) and Tortoise North American Energy Corporation (“TYN”) on June 23, 2014 in a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the IRC. As of November 30, 2015, TYG and NTG had net operating losses for federal income tax purposes of approximately $5,222,000 (from TYN) and $154,134,000, respectively. The net operating losses may be carried forward for 20 years. If not utilized, these net operating losses will expire in the year ending November 30, 2027 for TYG and in the years ending November 30, 2032 through 2034 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.

As of November 30, 2015, NTG had a capital loss carryforward of approximately $4,100,000, which may be carried forward for 5 years. If not utilized, this capital loss will expire in the year ending November 30, 2020. The capital losses for the year ended November 30, 2015 have been estimated based on information currently available. Such estimate is subject to revision upon receipt of the 2015 tax reporting information from the individual MLPs. For corporations, capital losses can only be used to offset capital gains and cannot be used to offset ordinary income. The amount of deferred tax asset for net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards at May 31, 2016 includes amounts for the period from December 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. As of November 30, 2015, NTG had $779,797 of AMT credits available, which may be credited in the future against regular income tax and carried forward indefinitely.

TTP, NDP and TPZ:
It is the intention of TTP, NDP 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, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

	TTP				NDP				TPZ
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	(36,353,798	)		$	(63,195,576	)		$	18,042,410
Undistributed long-term capital gain		575,313				—				51,694
Capital loss carryforwards		—				(24,293,488	)			—
Qualified late year ordinary losses		—				(1,276,184	)	⁽¹⁾		—
Other temporary differences		(1,797,447	)	⁽²⁾		(3,446,068	)	⁽²⁾		(20,847	)
Accumulated earnings (deficit)	$	(37,575,932	)		$	(92,211,316	)		$	18,073,257

(1)	Qualified late year ordinary losses are net ordinary losses incurred between January 1 and the end of NDP’s fiscal year on November 30, 2015, per IRC Sec. 852(b)(8). Such losses may be deferred until the first day of NDP’s next fiscal year.
(2)	Primarily related to losses deferred under straddle regulations per IRC Sec. 1092.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

As of November 30, 2015, NDP had a short-term capital loss carryforward of approximately $9,400,000 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of approximately $14,900,000, which may be carried forward for an unlimited period under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. To the extent NDP realizes future net capital gains, those gains will be offset by any unused capital loss carryforwards. Capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. Thus, such losses must be used first to offset gains of the same character; for example, long-term loss carryforwards will first offset long-term gains, before they can be used to offset short-term gains. The capital losses for the year ended November 30, 2015 have been estimated based on information currently available. Such estimate is subject to revision upon receipt of the 2015 tax reporting information from the individual MLPs.

As of May 31, 2016, the aggregate cost of investments, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation on a federal income tax basis were as follows:

	TYG			NTG			TTP			NDP			TPZ
Cost of investments	$	1,390,439,766		$	941,252,078		$	261,460,037		$	303,403,470		$	173,514,565

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, 2016, 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, 2016 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 following tables are Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy.

9. Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock

TYG, NTG and TTP each have issued and outstanding MRP Stock at May 31, 2016. 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, 2016, each of TYG, NTG and TTP were in compliance with asset coverage covenants and basic maintenance covenants for its MRP Stock.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Details of each Fund’s outstanding MRP Stock, including estimated fair value, as of May 31, 2016 is included below. The estimated fair value of each series of TYG, NTG and TTP MRP Stock was calculated for disclosure purposes by discounting future cash flows at 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 each series of the TYG, NTG and TTP MRP Stock are Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy.

**	Non-usage fee is waived if the outstanding balance on the facility is at least $42,000,000.
***	TTP’s credit facility allows for interest rates to be fixed on all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance. Amounts reflect activity on the credit facility for the period from December 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016 and include $7,000,000 of the outstanding principal balance that has a fixed rate of 2.03% for the period from June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2017.

For the period from December 1, 2015 through May 16, 2016 (the date the facility was terminated), TPZ had a revolving margin loan facility with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. The terms of the agreement provided for a $65,000,000 facility. Outstanding balances accrued interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 0.80%. The average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which this margin loan facility was utilized was approximately $50,000,000 and 1.22%, respectively.

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, 2016, each Fund was in compliance with credit facility terms.

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) 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.

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, 2016 was approximately $20,000,000 and $24,000,000, respectively.

The following table presents TYG’s and TPZ’s interest rate swap contracts, each of which is subject to a netting agreement, on a gross and a net basis at May 31, 2016:
