Why Energy Infrastructure? Potential Income, Real Asset Exposure and More

Summary Already Registered? Click here »

Energy infrastructure has long attracted investors seeking income, but there are other notable investment benefits for today’s volatile markets. Energy infrastructure companies generate stable cash flows from fee-based businesses resulting in more defensive energy exposure. These companies typically have long-term contracts with annual inflation adjustments. Across this subsector, significant free cash flow generation is supporting dividend increases and buybacks. Learn how energy infrastructure can enhance your portfolio.

Topics covered will be: 

• Learn how energy infrastructure is differentiated from other energy sectors by its fee-based business model and stable cash flows
• Learn how companies in this subsector are returning excess cash flow to investors through dividends and buybacks
• Learn where energy infrastructure fits in portfolios and how it can be used to meet investor needs
