Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp. (TYG) Achieves Target Positioning for the Future of Energy

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tortoise’s closed-end fund, Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp. (TYG), has transitioned its portfolio, positioning for the future of energy growth with a current portfolio allocation of 45% renewables and power infrastructure as of November 30, 2021. This allocation expansion, up from approximately 15% upon announcement, adds diversification and expected lower volatility through low correlation across investments and adds visibility into long-term growth opportunities.

We believe the portfolio is well positioned to generate positive risk-adjusted returns for its shareholders by investing in a broader universe of companies that facilitate energy consumption in ways that ultimately reduce emissions”, said Matt Sallee, President – Tortoise. “Further, we see energy infrastructure playing a tremendous role in decarbonizing the energy necessary for the economy to function and maintain our standard of living.”
