January 12, 2012

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

Our fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 2011 marked a year of memorable headlines in the broader markets. Macroeconomic events such as Eurozone debt concerns, the U.S. sovereign debt downgrade, actions by the Federal Reserve and slower than anticipated economic growth generated short-term volatility across all asset classes. Fortunately, the market recognized quality over longer periods, as evidenced by the performance of power and energy infrastructure companies.

Power and Energy Infrastructure Sector Outlook

The TPZ Benchmark Index*, comprised of a blend of debt and equity securities issued by companies in the power and energy infrastructure sectors, posted a total return of 8.9 percent for the fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 2011, as compared to the S&P 500 total return of 7.8 percent for the same period. While the high yield bond market outperformed the investment grade market during the first half of the year, investment grade bonds posted a stronger second half as investors sought quality amidst general market volatility. Additionally, power and energy infrastructure equities posted a solid return during the year as key business fundamentals remained steady with attractive growth. Capital markets were also supportive of growth, as the sector raised over $80 billion in debt and equity capital during fiscal year 2011.

Domestic power grid modernization continues to drive significant investment opportunities with plans underway in 43 states to install digital smart meters. Additionally, we expect growth opportunities to come as renewable energy sources connect to the existing power grid. The Edison Electric Institute estimates that over $38 billion is needed for transmission infrastructure needs from 2012 to 2014 alone. During the year, large global energy companies continued to make significant investment in North American oil and gas shales. These deals validated the game-changing events taking place in North American energy production and transportation and supported significant pipeline infrastructure investment opportunities.

The Environmental Protection Agency has made progress this year in new rules impacting power generation emission levels. We believe the upcoming regulation should lead to increased natural gas fired generation accompanied by coal generation plant retirements. As companies take steps to comply with the regulation, we expect them to balance reliability and affordability. In 2011, we saw active communication between companies and state regulatory commissions regarding capital plans which have demonstrated the commissions’ willingness to support investment and think creatively about ratemaking.

The Federal Reserve appears to be committed to keeping interest rates low for the foreseeable future. While the low interest rate environment is attractive for fixed income valuations, we will continue to monitor the market for reinvestment risk stemming from calls or tenders of existing fixed income securities. For equities, we expect midstream energy infrastructure distribution and dividend growth of 6 percent to 8 percent.

Company Performance Review and Outlook

Our total assets increased from $204.1 million on Nov. 30, 2010, to $215.1 million on Nov. 30, 2011, resulting primarily from market appreciation of our investments. Our market-based total return was 0.7 percent and our NAV-based total return was 5.4 percent (both including the reinvestment of distributions) for the fourth fiscal quarter ended Nov. 30, 2011. For fiscal year 2011, our market-based total return was 11.5 percent and our NAV-based total return was 10.2 percent.

During 2011, we paid monthly distributions of $0.125 per share ($1.50 annualized). This represented an annualized yield of 6.2 percent based on our fiscal year closing price of $24.18. Our distribution coverage (distributable cash flow divided by distributions) for the fiscal year was 101 percent. For tax purposes, distributions to stockholders for 2011 were 57 percent ordinary income, 34 percent long-term capital gain and 9 percent return of capital.

During the fiscal year, our power and energy infrastructure fixed income holdings benefited from a continued low interest rate environment and solid business fundamentals. Our performance was also positively impacted by pipeline equities as refined product/crude oil pipeline equities experienced higher volumes and enjoyed an increased tariff. Additionally, certain natural gas pipeline as well as gathering and processing equities benefited from growth projects, offset slightly by the performance of propane and gas storage equities.

We ended our fiscal year with leverage (including bank debt and senior notes) at 15.3 percent of total assets, below our long-term target of 20 percent. The market appreciation of our investments led to an improvement of our leverage position as we allowed our leverage as a percent of total assets to decrease over the near term. As of Nov. 30, 2011, our leverage had a weighted average maturity of 2.1 years and a weighted average cost of leverage of 3.3 percent, with over 60 percent at fixed rates. We believe a primarily fixed-rate strategy with laddered maturities enhances the predictability and sustainability of our distributable cash flow.

Additional information about our financial performance is available in the Key Financial Data and Management’s Discussion of this report.

Conclusion

The North American power and energy sector is undergoing a period of change, driven by new supply sources and an increasing focus on domestic, clean energy. New power and energy infrastructure is needed to accommodate the evolving landscape. We look forward to serving as your investment adviser to navigate the course ahead, with an investment philosophy anchored in quality.

Sincerely,

The Managing Directors

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited)

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. In addition, this report contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations and financial objectives and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors that could cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our public filings with the SEC.

Overview

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc.’s (“TPZ”) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. We seek to provide our stockholders a vehicle to invest in a portfolio consisting primarily of securities issued by power and energy infrastructure companies. Power infrastructure operations use asset systems to provide electric power generation (including renewable energy), transmission and distribution. Energy infrastructure operations use a network of pipeline assets to transport, store, gather and/or process crude oil, refined petroleum products (including biodiesel and ethanol), natural gas or natural gas liquids. We believe the power and energy infrastructure sectors provide stable and defensive characteristics throughout economic cycles. A majority of the investments are in fixed income securities with the remainder invested in equities which provide growth potential.

TPZ is a registered non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and expects to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser.

Company Update

Market values of our debt and MLP investments increased during the 4th quarter, contributing to an overall increase of $11.3 million in total assets. Interest and distributions received from our investments increased slightly during the quarter and decreased average total assets resulted in lower asset based expenses. While we increased leverage slightly during the quarter, our total leverage as a percent of total assets decreased as quarter-end asset values increased. We maintained our monthly distribution of $0.125 per share. Additional information on the results of our operations is discussed in more detail below.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. Our critical accounting policies are those applicable to the valuation of investments and certain revenue recognition matters as discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Determining Distributions to Stockholders

Unlike most RICs which pay distributions based upon income, we pay monthly distributions based primarily upon our current and estimated future distributable cash flow (“DCF”). Our Board of Directors also considers accumulated undistributed DCF and net realized capital gains, if any, in determining distributions to stockholders. Our Board of Directors reviews the distribution rate quarterly, and may adjust the monthly distributions throughout the year.

Determining DCF

DCF is simply income from investments less expenses. Income from investments includes the accrued interest from corporate bonds, cash distributions and paid-in-kind distributions from MLPs and related companies and dividends earned from short-term investments. The total expenses include current or anticipated operating expenses and leverage costs. Each are summarized for you in the table on page 2 and are discussed in more detail below.

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) GAAP recognizes distribution income from MLPs and common stock on their ex-dates, whereas the DCF calculation reflects distribution income on their pay dates; (2) GAAP recognizes that a significant portion of the cash distributions received from MLPs are characterized as a return of capital and therefore excluded from investment income, whereas the DCF calculation includes the return of capital; (3) income from investments in the DCF calculation includes the value of dividends paid-in-kind (additional stock or units), whereas such amounts are not included as income for GAAP purposes; and (4) amortization of premium or discount for all securities is calculated using the yield to worst methodology for GAAP purposes while yield to call is used in calculating amortization for long-dated hybrid securities in the DCF calculation. The treatment of expenses in the DCF calculation also differs from what is reported in the Statement of Operations. In addition to the total operating expenses, including expense reimbursement, 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. A reconciliation of Net Investment Income, before Current Foreign Tax Expense to DCF is included below.

Income from Investments

We seek to achieve our investment objectives by investing in income-producing fixed income and equity securities of companies that we believe offer attractive distribution rates. We evaluate each holding based upon its contribution to our investment income and its risk relative to other potential investments.

Total income from investments for the 4th quarter 2011 was approximately $3.5 million, a slight increase as compared to 3rd quarter 2011 and relatively unchanged as compared to 4th quarter 2010. This increase from 3rd quarter is due to an increase in distributions from our equity investments.

Expenses

We incur two types of expenses: (1) operating expenses, consisting primarily of the advisory fee, and (2) leverage costs. On a percentage basis, operating expenses before leverage costs were an annualized 1.00 percent of average total assets for 4th quarter 2011 as compared to 1.01 percent for the 3rd quarter 2011 and 1.01 percent for 4th quarter 2010. Advisory fees for 4th quarter 2011 decreased 1.9 percent from 3rd quarter 2011 as a result of decreased average managed assets during the quarter as discussed above.

While the contractual advisory fee is 0.95 percent of average monthly managed assets, the Adviser waived an amount equal to 0.15 percent of average monthly managed assets for the calendar years 2010 and 2011 and has agreed to waive 0.10 percent of average monthly managed assets for calendar year 2012.

Leverage costs consist of two major components: (1) the direct interest expense, which will vary from period to period, as our senior notes and revolving credit facility have variable rates of interest, and (2) the realized and unrealized gain or loss on our interest rate swap settlements. Detailed information on our senior notes and revolving credit facility is included in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

2011 Annual Report       3

Management’s Discussion (Unaudited) (Continued)

As indicated in Note 10 of our Notes to Financial Statements, at November 30, 2011, we had $21 million notional amount of interest rate swap contracts with Wells Fargo Bank in an attempt to reduce a portion of the interest rate risk arising from our leveraged capital structure. A $6 million notional amount swap matured on November 6, 2011 and we entered into $5 million notional interest rate swaps with Wells Fargo Bank on January 5, 2012. TPZ has agreed to pay Wells Fargo Bank a fixed rate while receiving a floating rate based upon the 1-month or 3-month U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The spread between the fixed swap rate and LIBOR is reflected in our Statement of Operations as a realized or unrealized gain when LIBOR exceeds the fixed rate (Wells Fargo Bank pays TPZ the net difference) or a realized or unrealized loss when the fixed rate exceeds LIBOR (TPZ pays Wells Fargo Bank the net difference). Including the swaps entered into on January 5, 2012, the interest rate swap contracts have a weighted average fixed rate of 2.18 percent and weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 2.7 years. This swap arrangement effectively fixes the cost on approximately 79 percent of our outstanding leverage over the remaining swap period.

Total leverage costs for DCF purposes were approximately $295,000 for the 4th quarter 2011, a slight decrease as compared to 3rd quarter 2011. This includes interest expense on our senior notes and bank credit facility and accrued swap settlement costs of approximately $122,000. The weighted average annual rate of our leverage was 3.29 percent at November 30, 2011.

Distributable Cash Flow

For 4th quarter 2011, our DCF was approximately $2.7 million, a 1.9 percent increase as compared to 3rd quarter 2011. On August 8, 2011, we declared monthly distributions for the 2011 4th fiscal quarter of $0.125 per share. This is unchanged as compared to 3rd quarter 2011.

Our dividend payout ratio as a percentage of DCF decreased from 100.1 percent during 3rd quarter 2011 to 98.3 percent during 4th quarter 2011. A payout of less than 100 percent of DCF provides cushion for on-going management of the portfolio, changes in leverage costs and other expenses. An on-going payout ratio in excess of 100 percent will, over time, erode the earning power of a portfolio and may lead to lower distributions or portfolio managers taking on more risk than they otherwise would.

Net investment income before current foreign tax expense on the Statement of Operations is adjusted as follows to reconcile to DCF for 2011 YTD and the 4th quarter 2011 (in thousands):

		2011 YTD				4th Qtr 2011
Net Investment Income, before
Current Foreign Tax Expense		$	5,001				$	1,252
Adjustments to reconcile to DCF:
Dividends paid in stock			2,456					623
Distributions characterized as return of capital			3,272					830
Amortization of debt issuance costs			38					10
Interest rate swap expenses			(503	)				(122	)
Change in amortization methodology			241					60
Current foreign tax expense			(5	)				(2	)
DCF		$	10,500				$	2,651

We had total assets of $215.1 million at year-end. Our total assets reflect the value of our investments, which are itemized in the Schedule of Investments. It also reflects cash, interest and receivables and any expenses that may have been prepaid. During the 4th quarter 2011, total assets increased by $11.3 million. This change was primarily the result of a $6.8 million increase in the value of our investments as reflected by the change in net realized and unrealized gains on investments (excluding return of capital on distributions), net portfolio sales of $0.9 million, and an increase in receivables of approximately $5.4 million.

Total leverage outstanding at November 30, 2011 of $33 million is comprised of $20 million floating rate senior notes and $13 million outstanding on our bank credit facility. Through the utilization of our interest rate swaps, we have essentially fixed the rate on approximately 79 percent of our leverage with the remaining 21 percent floating based upon short-term LIBOR. Total leverage represented 15.3 percent of total assets with a weighted average maturity of 2.1 years. Our leverage as a percent of total assets remains below our long-term target level of 20 percent of total assets. This allows the opportunity to add leverage when compelling investment opportunities arise. Temporary increases to up to 25 percent of our total assets may be permitted, provided that such leverage is consistent with the limits set forth in the 1940 Act, and that such leverage is expected to be reduced over time in an orderly fashion to reach our long-term target. Our leverage ratio is impacted by increases or decreases in investment values, issuance of equity and/or the sale of securities where proceeds are used to reduce leverage.

We have used leverage to acquire investments consistent with our investment philosophy. The terms of our leverage are governed by regulatory and contractual asset coverage requirements that arise from the use of leverage. Additional information on our leverage and asset coverage requirements is discussed in Note 9 in the Notes to Financial Statements. Our coverage ratio is updated each week on our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com.

Taxation of our Distributions

We expect that distributions paid on common shares will generally consist of: (i) investment company taxable income (which includes, among other items, taxable interest and the excess of any short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses); (ii) long-term capital gain (net gain from the sale of a capital asset held longer than 12 months over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) return of capital.

We have received exemptive relief from the SEC to distribute capital gains throughout the year and we may also distribute additional capital gains in the last fiscal quarter if necessary to meet minimum distribution requirements and to avoid being subject to excise taxes. If, however, we elect to retain any capital gains, we will be subject to U.S. capital gains taxes. The payment of those taxes will flow-through to stockholders as a tax credit to apply against their U.S. income tax payable on the deemed distribution of the retained capital gain.

For tax purposes, distributions paid to common stockholders for the calendar year ended December 31, 2011 were approximately 57 percent ordinary income (none of which is qualified dividend income), 34 percent long-term capital gain and 9 percent return of capital. A holder of our common stock would reduce their cost basis for income tax purposes by approximately 9 percent of the total distributions they received in 2011. This information is reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV and is available on our Web site at www.tortoiseadvisors.com.

Notes to Financial Statements November 30, 2011

1. Organization

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on July 5, 2007, and is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Company seeks to provide its stockholders with a vehicle to invest in a portfolio consisting primarily of securities issued by power and energy infrastructure companies. The Company commenced operations on July 31, 2009. The Company’s stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TPZ.”

2. Significant Accounting Policies

A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Investment Valuation

The Company primarily owns securities that are listed on a securities exchange or over-the-counter market. The Company values 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 Company uses the price from the exchange that it considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities listed on the NASDAQ will be 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 will be valued at the mean between the last bid price and last ask price on such day.

The Company may invest up to 15 percent of its total assets in restricted securities. 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 the Company’s ability to dispose of them. Investments in private placement securities and other securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued in good faith by using fair value procedures approved by the Board of Directors. 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 the Company’s portfolio securities before the net asset value has been calculated (a “significant event”), the portfolio securities so affected will generally be priced using fair value procedures.

An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a direct placement transaction may be subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s liquidity and fair value. Such securities that are convertible or otherwise will become freely tradable will be valued based on the market value of the freely tradable security less an applicable discount. Generally, the discount will initially be equal to the discount at which the Company purchased the securities. 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.

The Company generally values debt securities at prices based on market quotations for such securities, except those securities purchased with 60 days or less to maturity are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The Company generally values its interest rate swap contracts using industry-accepted models which discount the estimated future cash flows based on 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.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend and distribution income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from the Company’s investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) generally are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital from the MLPs. The Company allocates distributions between investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information provided by each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from MLPs 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 Company.

During the year ended November 30, 2011, the Company reallocated the amount of 2010 investment income and return of capital it recognized based on the 2010 tax reporting information received from the individual MLPs. This reclassification amounted to a decrease in net investment income of approximately $79,300 or $0.011 per share; an increase in unrealized appreciation of investments of approximately $169,900 or $0.024 per share and a decrease in realized gains of approximately $90,600 or $0.013 per share for the year ended November 30, 2011.

D. Distributions to Stockholders

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company intends to make monthly cash distributions of its investment company income to common stockholders. In addition, on an annual basis, the Company may distribute additional capital gains in the last fiscal quarter if necessary to meet minimum distribution requirements and thus avoid being subject to excise taxes. The amount of any distributions will be determined by the Board of Directors. The character of distributions made during the year may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Distributions paid to stockholders in excess of investment company taxable income and net realized gains will be treated as return of capital to stockholders.

E. Federal Income Taxation

The Company qualifies as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income and gains that it distributes each taxable year to stockholders if it meets certain minimum distribution requirements. The Company is required to distribute substantially all of its income, in addition to other asset diversification requirements. The Company is subject to

2011 Annual Report       11

---

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

a 4 percent non-deductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company makes sufficient distributions to satisfy the excise tax avoidance requirement. The Company invests in MLPs, which generally are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Company reports its allocable share of the MLP’s taxable income in computing its own taxable income.

The Company has adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Company’s net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. All tax years since inception remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

F. 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 long-term debt obligations are capitalized and amortized over the period the debt is outstanding.

G. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments (principally interest rate swap contracts) to manage interest rate risk. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. The Company does 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 Statement of Operations. Cash settlements under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements and termination of such agreements are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations.

H. Indemnifications

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

I. Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU No. 2011-04 amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to establish common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRSs. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and does not believe they will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. Concentration of Risk

Under normal circumstances, the Company intends to invest at least 80 percent of total assets (including assets obtained through potential leverage) in securities of companies that derive more than 50 percent of their revenue from power or energy operations and no more than 25 percent of the total assets in equity securities of MLPs as of the date of purchase. The Company will invest a minimum of 60 percent of total assets in fixed income securities, which may include up to 25 percent of its assets in non-investment grade rated fixed income securities. In determining application of these policies, the term “total assets” includes assets obtained through leverage. Companies that primarily invest in a particular sector may experience greater volatility than companies investing in a broad range of industry sectors. The Company 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 the Company uses this strategy, it may not achieve its investment objective.

4. Agreements

The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Adviser”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.95 percent of the Company’s average monthly total assets (including any assets attributable to leverage) minus accrued liabilities (other than 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. The Adviser has agreed to a fee waiver of 0.15 percent of average monthly Managed Assets for the period from July 31, 2009 through December 31, 2011, and a fee waiver of 0.10 percent of average monthly Managed Assets for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as the Company’s administrator. The Company pays the administrator a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.04 percent of the first $1,000,000,000 of the Company’s Managed Assets, 0.03 percent on the next $1,000,000,000 of Managed Assets and 0.02 percent on the balance of the Company’s Managed Assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. serves as the Company’s transfer agent and registrar and Computershare Inc. serves as the Company’s dividend paying agent and agent for the automatic dividend reinvestment plan.

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Company’s custodian. The Company pays the custodian a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.004 percent of the average daily market value of the Company’s portfolio assets, subject to a minimum annual fee of $4,800, plus portfolio transaction fees.

5. Income Taxes

It is the Company’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code 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 differences in the timing of recognition of gains or losses on investments. Permanent book and tax basis differences resulted in the reclassification of $4,981,597 to accumulated net investment loss, $(4,006,661) to accumulated net realized gain and $(974,936) to additional paid-in capital.

The tax character of distributions paid to common stockholders for the years ending November 30, 2011 and November 30, 2010 were as follows:

	11/30/2011			11/30/2010
Ordinary income*	$	5,551,882		$	9,062,432
Long-term capital gain		3,856,498			637,923
Return of capital		1,010,510			698,239
Total distributions	$	10,418,890		$	10,398,594

As of November 30, 2011, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation		$	46,901,657
Other temporary differences			(30,471	)
Accumulated earnings		$	46,871,186

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Company’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

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

The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of November 30, 2011. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts			$	935,526			$	—		$	935,526		$	—

In general, and where applicable, the Company uses readily available market quotations based upon the last updated sales price from the principal market to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 1 investments.

Some debt securities are fair valued using a market value obtained from an approved pricing service which utilizes a pricing matrix based upon yield data for securities with similar characteristics or from a direct written broker-dealer quotation from a dealer who has made a market in the security. This pricing methodology applies to the Company’s Level 2 assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

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, which applies to the Company’s Level 2 liabilities.

The Company utilizes the beginning of reporting period method for determining transfers between levels. There were no transfers between levels for the year ended November 30, 2011.

7. Restricted Securities

Certain of the Company’s investments are restricted and are valued as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors, as more fully described in Note 2.

For the year ended November 30, 2011, the Company purchased (at cost) and sold securities (proceeds received) in the amount of $18,031,980 and $21,120,522 (excluding short-term debt securities), respectively.

9. Long-Term Debt Obligations

The Company has $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series A private senior notes (the “Notes”) outstanding. Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive quarterly cash interest payments at an annual rate that resets each quarter based on the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.87 percent. The Notes are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, will rank: (1) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding preferred shares (if any); (2) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding common shares; (3) on parity with any unsecured creditors of the Company and any unsecured senior securities representing indebtedness of the Company and (4) junior to any secured creditors of the Company.

The Notes are redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of the Company. The Notes are also subject to a mandatory redemption if the Company 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 November 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with asset coverage covenants and basic maintenance covenants for its senior notes.

At November 30, 2011, the fair value of the Series A Notes approximates the carrying amount because the interest rate fluctuates with changes in interest rates available in the current market. The following table shows the maturity date, notional/carrying amount, current rate as of November 30, 2011, and the weighted-average rate for the year ended November 30, 2011.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

10. Interest Rate Swap Contracts

The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts in an attempt to protect itself from increasing interest expense on its leverage resulting from increasing short-term 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 the Company. At the time the interest rate swap contracts reach their scheduled termination, there is a risk that the Company would 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 the Company is required to terminate any swap contract early due to the Company failing to maintain a required 300 percent asset coverage of the liquidation value of the outstanding senior notes or if the Company loses its credit rating on its senior notes, then the Company could be required to make a termination payment, in addition to redeeming all or some of the senior notes. Details of the interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of November 30, 2011, are as follows:

						Fixed Rate
						Paid by		Floating Rate
	Maturity		Notional			the		Received by		Liability
Counterparty	Date		Amount			Company		the Company		Derivatives
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.	11/06/2012		$	5,000,000		1.81%		3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR		$	(62,905	)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.	11/06/2012			1,000,000		1.73%		1-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR			(13,470	)
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.	11/06/2014			15,000,000		2.66%		3-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR			(859,151	)
			$	21,000,000						$	(935,526	)

The Company is 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 Company 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 Company’s leverage.

The change in unrealized appreciation of interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $49,498 is included in the Statement of Operations for the year ended November 30, 2011. Cash settlement payments under the terms of the interest rate swap contracts in the amount of $506,568 are recorded as realized losses for the year ended November 30, 2011. The total notional amount of all open swap agreements at November 30, 2011 is indicative of the volume of this derivative type for the year ended November 30, 2011.

11. Credit Facility

On September 14, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility that extends the credit facility through September 14, 2011. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as a lender and the leading syndicate agent on behalf of other lenders participating in the credit facility. The terms of the amendment provided for an unsecured revolving credit facility of $18,000,000. During the extension, outstanding balances accrued interest at a variable annual rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25 percent and unused portions of the credit facility accrued a non-usage fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20 percent.

On September 14, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit facility that extends the credit facility through September 14, 2012. The terms of the amendment provide for an unsecured revolving credit facility of $18,000,000. During the extension, outstanding balances generally will accrue interest at a variable annual rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.25 percent and unused portions of the credit facility will accrue a non-usage fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20 percent.

The average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facility was utilized during the year ended November 30, 2011 was approximately $11,800,000 and 1.48 percent, respectively. At November 30, 2011, the principal balance outstanding was $13,000,000 at an interest rate of 1.52 percent.

Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company must maintain asset coverage required under the 1940 Act. If the Company 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 November 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the credit facility.

12. Common Stock

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of capital stock authorized and 6,951,333 shares outstanding at November 30, 2011. Transactions in common stock for the year ended November 30, 2011, were as follows:

Shares at November 30, 2010	6,940,986
Shares issued through reinvestment of distributions	10,347
Shares at November 30, 2011	6,951,333

13. Subsequent Events

On December 31, 2011, the Company paid a distribution in the amount of $0.125 per common share, for a total of $868,917. Of this total, the dividend reinvestment amounted to $104,671.

On January 5, 2012, the Company entered into a $2.5 million notional interest rate swap with a fixed rate of 1.09 percent and maturity date of January 5, 2016 and a $2.5 million notional interest rate swap with a fixed rate of 1.34 percent and a maturity date of January 5, 2017.

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional items require recognition or disclosure.

Privacy Policy

In order to conduct its business, the Company collects and maintains certain nonpublic personal information about its stockholders of record with respect to their transactions in shares of the Company’s securities. This information includes the stockholder’s address, tax identification or Social Security number, share balances, and distribution elections. We do not collect or maintain personal information about stockholders whose share balances of our securities are held in “street name” by a financial institution such as a bank or broker.

We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about you, the Company’s other stockholders or the Company’s former stockholders to third parties unless necessary to process a transaction, service an account, or as otherwise permitted by law.

To protect your personal information internally, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information about the Company’s stockholders to those employees who need to know that information to provide services to our stockholders. We also maintain certain other safeguards to protect your nonpublic personal information.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan

If a stockholder’s shares are registered directly with the Company or with a brokerage firm that participates in the Company’s Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), all distributions are automatically reinvested for stockholders by the Agent in additional shares of common stock of the Company (unless a stockholder is ineligible or elects otherwise). Stockholders holding shares that participate in the Plan in a brokerage account may not be able to transfer the shares to another broker and continue to participate in the Plan. Stockholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions payable in cash paid by check mailed directly to the stockholder of record (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by Computershare, as dividend paying agent. Distributions subject to tax (if any) are taxable whether or not shares are reinvested.

If, on the distribution payment date, the net asset value per share of the common stock is equal to or less than the market price per share of common stock plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to participants. The number of shares will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution to the participant by the greater of the net asset value per share or 95 percent of the market price on the payment date of the distribution. Otherwise, shares generally will be purchased on the open market by the Agent as soon as possible following the distribution payment date, but in no event later than 30 days after such date except as necessary to comply with applicable law. The plan previously provided that the Company would use primarily newly-issued common shares to implement the Plan, whether its shares were trading at a premium or at a discount to net asset value and that the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder would be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of the Company’s common stock at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the distribution payment date. There are no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Company as a result of distributions payable

Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement

In approving the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement in November 2011, the directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Company (“Independent Directors”) requested and received extensive data and information from the Adviser concerning the Company and the services provided to it by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Independent Directors requested and received data and information from the Adviser, which also included information from independent, third-party sources, regarding the factors considered in their evaluation.

Factors Considered

The Independent Directors considered and evaluated all the information provided by the Adviser. The Independent Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Independent Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the agreement, the Independent Directors’ decision was based on the following factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Independent Directors considered information regarding the history, qualification and background of the Adviser and the individuals responsible for the Adviser’s investment program, the adequacy of the number of the Adviser personnel and other Adviser resources and plans for growth, use of affiliates of the Adviser, and the particular expertise with respect to energy infrastructure companies, MLP markets and financing (including private financing). The Independent Directors concluded that the unique nature of the Company and the specialized expertise of the Adviser in the niche market of MLPsenergy infrastructure market made it uniquely qualified to serve as the advisor. Further, the Independent Directors recognized that the Adviser’s commitment to a long-term investment horizon correlated well to the investment strategy of the Company.

Investment Performance of the Company and the Adviser, Costs of the Services To Be Provided and Profits To Be Realized by the Adviser and its Affiliates from the Relationship, and Fee Comparisons. The Independent Directors reviewed and evaluated information regarding the Company’s performance (including quarterly, last twelve months, and from inception) and the performance of the other Adviser accounts (including other investment companies), and information regarding the nature of the markets during the performance period, with a particular focus on the MLP sector. The Independent Directors also considered the Company’s performance as compared to comparable closed-end funds for the relevant periods.

The Adviser provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing services to the Company, its profitability in managing the Company, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Independent Directors reviewed with the Adviser the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This financial information regarding the Adviser is considered in order to evaluate the Adviser’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee, and was, to the extent possible, evaluated in comparison to other closed-end funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

The Independent Directors considered and evaluated information regarding fees charged to, and services provided to, other investment companies advised by the Adviser (including the impact of any fee waiver or reimbursement arrangements and any expense reimbursement arrangements), fees charged to separate institutional accounts by the Adviser, and comparisons of fees of closed-end funds with similar investment objectives and strategies, including other MLP investment companies, to the Company. The Independent Directors concluded that the fees and expenses that the Company is paying under the Investment Advisory Agreement are reasonable given the quality of services provided under the Investment Advisory Agreement and that such fees and expenses are comparable to, and in many some cases lower than, the fees charged by advisers to comparable funds. The Independent Directors also considered the Adviser’s contractual agreement to waive fees in the amount of 0.10 percent of its 0.95 percent investment advisory fee for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

Economies of Scale. The Independent Directors considered information from the Adviser concerning whether economies of scale would be realized as the Company grows, and whether fee levels reflect any economies of scale for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders. The Independent Directors concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict overall. Accordingly, the Independent Directors reviewed other information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Adviser generally, the profitability of its management of the Company specifically, and the fees of competitive funds not managed by the Adviser over a range of asset sizes. The Independent Directors concluded the Adviser is appropriately sharing any economies of scale through its competitive fee structure and through reinvestment in its business to provide stockholders additional content and services.

Collateral Benefits Derived by the Adviser. The Independent Directors reviewed information from the Adviser concerning collateral benefits it receives as a result of its relationship with the Company. They concluded that the Adviser generally does not use the Company’s or stockholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them.

The Independent Directors did not, with respect to their deliberations concerning their approval of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, consider the benefits the Adviser may derive from relationships the Adviser may have with brokers through soft dollar arrangements because the Adviser does not employ any such arrangements in rendering its advisory services to the Company. Although the Adviser may receive research from brokers with whom it places trades on behalf of clients, the Adviser does not have soft dollar arrangements or understandings with such brokers regarding receipt of research in return for commissions.

Conclusions of the Directors

As a result of this process, the Independent Directors, assisted by the advice of legal counsel that is independent of the Adviser, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Adviser, unanimously concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. The Registrant has not made any amendments to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report, except that Exhibit A to the Code was updated to reflect the names of the current Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. The Registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that there is at least one “audit committee financial expert” serving on its audit committee. Mr. Conrad Ciccotello is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. In addition to his experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements, Mr. Ciccotello has a Ph.D. in Finance.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The Registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services and tax services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the approximate amounts of aggregate fees billed to the Registrant for the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve (i) the selection of the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm, (ii) the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any non-audit services to the Registrant, (iii) the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to provide any non-audit services to the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant, and (iv) the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm. The Chairman of the audit committee may grant the pre-approval of any engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for non-audit services of less than $10,000, and such delegated pre-approvals will be presented to the full audit committee at its next meeting. Under certain limited circumstances, pre-approvals are not required under securities law regulations for certain non-audit services below certain de minimus thresholds. Since the adoption of these policies and procedures, the audit committee has pre-approved all audit and non-audit services provided to the Registrant by the principal accountant. None of these services provided by the principal accountant were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimus exception under Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2.01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the Registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

---

In the Registrant’s fiscal years ended November 30, 2011 and 2010, the Adviser paid approximately $0 and $88,000 in fees, respectively, for research and consultations relating to fund structure, tax and accounting, and audit-related fees relating to closed-end management investment companies prior to its initial public offerings. These non-audit services were not required to be preapproved by the Registrant’s audit committee. No entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, has paid to, or been billed for fees by, the principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the Adviser or such entity during the Registrant’s last two fiscal years. The audit committee has considered whether the principal accountant’s provision of services (other than audit services) to the Registrant, the Adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provides services to the Registrant is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence in performing audit services.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

The Registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is comprised of Mr. Conrad S. Ciccotello, Mr. John R. Graham and Mr. Charles E. Heath.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments.

Schedule of Investments is included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Copies of the proxy voting policies and procedures of the Registrant and the Adviser are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.VOTEREG and Exhibit 99.VOTEADV, respectively.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Unless otherwise indicated, information is presented as of November 30, 2011.

Material Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest may arise from the fact that the Adviser and its affiliates carry on substantial investment activities for other clients, in which the Registrant has no interest, some of which may have investment strategies similar to the Registrant. The Adviser or its affiliates may have financial incentives to favor certain of these accounts over the Registrant. For example, the Adviser may have an incentive to allocate potentially more favorable investment opportunities to other funds and clients that pay the Adviser an incentive or performance fee. Performance and incentive fees also create the incentive to allocate potentially riskier, but potentially better performing, investments to such funds and other clients in an effort to increase the incentive fee. The Adviser also may have an incentive to make investments in one fund, having the effect of increasing the value of a security in the same issuer held by another fund, which, in turn, may result in an incentive fee being paid to the Adviser by that other fund. Any of their proprietary accounts or other customer accounts may compete with the Registrant for specific trades. The Adviser or its affiliates may give advice and recommend securities to, or buy or sell securities for, other accounts and customers, which advice or securities recommended may differ from advice given to, or securities recommended or bought or sold for, the Registrant, even though their investment objectives may be the same as, or similar to, the Registrant’s objectives. When two or more clients advised by the Adviser or its affiliates seek to purchase or sell the same publicly traded securities, the securities actually purchased or sold will be allocated among the clients on a good faith equitable basis by the Adviser in its discretion and in accordance with the clients’ various investment objectives and the Adviser’s procedures. In some cases, this system may adversely affect the price or size of the position the Registrant may obtain or sell. In other cases, the Registrant’s ability to participate in volume transactions may produce better execution for it.

---

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

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

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

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

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

Compensation

None of Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack or Schulte receives any direct compensation from the Registrant or any other of the managed accounts reflected in the table above. All such accounts are managed by the Adviser or Fountain Capital. Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack and Schulte are full-time employees of the Adviser and receive a fixed salary for the services they provide. They are also eligible for an annual cash bonus based on the Adviser’s earnings and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. Additional benefits received by Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack and Schulte are normal and customary employee benefits generally available to all salaried employees. Each of Messrs. Birzer, Hamel, Malvey, Matlack and Schulte own an equity interest in Tortoise Holdings, LLC which wholly owns the Adviser, and each thus benefits from increases in the net income of the Adviser.
