Fund Risks
Investing in the Fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal invested. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
An investment in the Fund is subject to certain risk factors, including equity securities risk; high-yield securities risk; lack of diversification; infrastructure industry risks; the effect of commodity price fluctuations; foreign market exposure; bank loans; suspension of trading; use of leverage; market disruptions; global financial developments; reliance on the manager; emerging markets risk; sensitivity to interest rates; liquidity of the Fund’s securities; short sales; counterparty risk; hedging instruments; over-the-counter transactions; use of derivative instruments; trading price of units; fluctuations in net asset value (NAV); performance fees; securities lending; currency exposure; use of options; redemptions; status of the Fund; potential conflicts of interest; new-project risk; changes in legislation; taxation matters affecting the Fund; the Fund not being a trust company; nature of units; and liability of unitholders.
Investing in master limited partnerships (MLPs) involves certain risks related to investing in the underlying assets of the MLPs and risks associated with pooled investment vehicles.
The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and net asset value of its common stock. The use of leverage involves risk, including the potential for higher volatility and greater declines of the Fund’s net asset value, fluctuations of dividends and other distributions paid by the Fund, and the market price of the Fund’s common stock.
Closed-end funds are offered through a one-time public offering, and once issued, shares of closed-end funds typically are not redeemable to the Fund. Investors looking to sell their shares must do so on the open market through a stock exchange. At the time of sale, your shares may have a market price that is above or below NAV. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a market price that is below their NAV.
In addition, investors will usually pay brokerage fees to their dealer if they purchase or sell units of investment funds on the Toronto Stock Exchange or other alternative Canadian trading system. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
