Managed by GSAM’s energy and infrastructure team, the new fund trades on the New York Stock Exchange and has been launched for those investors who aim to participate in America’s current energy expansion.
According to GSAM, the fund aims to invest primarily in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), which are publicly traded entities that can own assets such as pipeline operators, processors, and fractionation and storage facilities.
Kyri Loupis, managing director and lead portfolio manager for the fund, said: "Our index-agnostic approach and closed-end structure allows us to execute on our best investment ideas, including those offered by smaller cap MLPs poised for higher levels of growth.
"Through the launch of this closed-end fund, we’re able to provide investors another avenue to access MLP exposure," Loupis added.
