Eagle Energy
Infrastructure Fund
Fund Overview
The Fund seeks to generate an attractive total rate of return from high current income and long-term capital appreciation through investments in energy infrastructure securities and other related investments. The Fund intends to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) and avoid the double taxation of many of the midstream-focused mutual funds currently available. It will also issue a single IRS Tax Form 1099. The Fund’s investment process favors investments that it believes can generate consistent distribution growth over time, which have strong management commitment and are reasonably valued based on expected growth and income. The Fund focuses on midstream energy infrastructure assets with “toll road” or fee-based business models with little or no direct commodity price exposure.

About Energy Infrastructure
Energy infrastructure companies may have the ability to generate free cash flow, income and growth potential and can possibly add valuable diversification to portfolios. These companies may own and/or operate assets in the following industries:
Pipelines
Transportation of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil and refined petroleum products.
Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)
Converters of natural gas to LNG.
Proprietary Valuation Process
Step 1: Multi-Scenario Analysis
- Potential investments are analyzed, modeled and stress-tested under at least a base case, stress case and optimistic case scenario to determine their potential cash flow and yield.
Step 2: Cash Flow Matching
- Modeled projected cash flow and losses are compared with actual historical cash flows and losses to detect any potential weaknesses or errors in the industry standard Intex and Bloomberg models.
Step 3: Value Determination
- Overall attractiveness of a security is guided by a risk/reward equation that places a premium on minimizing potential downside.
- A bid range is established for each potential investment based on Deer Park’s cash flow adjusted multi-scenario analysis.
Security Selection
- The proprietary valuation process narrows the universe of securities to a small subset that meets Deer Park’s investment criteria.
- Typically looking for attractively priced bonds believed to have high cash flow, short duration, diversification across the MBS/ABS spectrum, high degree of optionality, i.e., the potential for additional upside gain, but minimal additional downside, seasoned (i.e., older) bonds with extensive payment histories.
Trading
Purchase
- The extensive experience of Deer Park’s investment team, and proprietary valuation process, enables fast turnaround when bids are solicited by dealers.
- Deer Park believes their process and methodology provide a competitive edge in the sourcing and trading of discounted fixed-income securities.
- Purchases and sales of all securities are executed at prices within pre-determined min/max price limits.
Trading
- Most securities are purchased under the assumption that they will be held to term.
- Adjustments made opportunistically and based on market conditions.
- Securities may be sold to:
- Take advantage of positive price movements
- Protect against negative price movements
- Rebalance the portfolio to achieve yield, cash flow and diversification targets
Portfolio Management/Monitoring
Management & Monitoring Process
- Each bond in the portfolio is re-evaluated using Deer Park’s valuation model on a monthly basis.
- Securities that have moved outside acceptable risk/reward parameters become candidates to be sold.
- Securities may also become sale candidates to re-balance the portfolio to achieve yield, cash flow and diversification targets.
- Interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio is monitored and modeled on a regular basis to determine the impact of rate changes across the yield curve:
- Typical portfolio construction minimizes the impact of changes in interest rates, however, the portfolio may be positioned to take advantage of rates moving either up or down.
- Portfolio management targets:
High annual cash flow*
Primary: Deeply discounted residential MBS (60 – 100% of the portfolio*)
Secondary: Deeply discounted other ABS such as - manufactured housing, autos, franchise, airplane, commercial real estate, REITs and/or credit default swaps (0 – 40% of the portfolio*)
Diversified portfolio with holdings typically between 1.5 – 5% of portfolio
*The cash flow target is dependent on market conditions and may or may not be achieved, and is not guaranteed.
Gathering & Processing
Gathering of oil, natural gas and NGLs from the well head, and the processing of natural gas and NGLs.
Storage
Storage of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and refined petroleum products.
Risk Management
Portfolio Risk Mitigation
- Diversification within ABS market and security type. Deer Park believes that trading a broad universe of ABS, as opposed to small sub-segment, reduces risk and increases returns over the long-term.
- Focus on short-term securities. Targeting a portfolio effective duration that is typically 2-6 years to manage pricing volatility and interest rate risk.
- Focus on securities with high current cash-flow. Targeting high portfolio cash flow provides liquidity throughout market cycles and attempts to reduce portfolio risk and volatility.
- Focus on deeply discounted securities. Deer Park’s deep-discount philosophy dictates that only securities viewed as undervalued are bought. This approach attempts to reduce downside risk to the portfolio.
- Hedging market risks through security selection. The enormous size of the MBS/ABS market and the wide variety of securities available allows Deer Park to hedge various market risks through the security selection and overall security composition of the portfolio.
- In-house credit risk modeling. Deer Park utilizes a bottom-up approach when valuing and analyzing each security.
The Energy Supply Chain
Energy Infrastructure is broadly categorized in three segments:
Upstream, Midstream and Downstream. The Fund focuses primarily on Midstream.
Tax Efficiency
Benefits of RIC Tax Status
Mutual funds that fail to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) are taxed as a corporation at a rate of up to 21%. One requirement for qualifying as a RIC is that a mutual fund my not invest more than 25% of assets in publicly-traded partnerships, including MLPs.
The Eagle Energy Infrastructure Fund has maintained its RIC tax status by investing in less than 25% publicly traded partnerships and the balance in midstream C-Corps.
