  (3)

On October 9, 2018, Antero Midstream GP LP (“AMGP”) and Antero Midstream Partners LP (“AM”) announced that they entered into a definitive agreement for AMGP to acquire all of the outstanding AM common units. In connection with the transaction, AMGP will convert into a corporation and the combined entity will be renamed Antero Midstream Corporation (“New AM”). Under the terms of the agreement, AM unitholders will receive a combination of $3.415 in cash and 1.635 shares of New AM stock per AM unit owned.

 

  (4)

This company is structured like an MLP, but is not treated as a publicly-traded partnership for regulated investment company (“RIC”) qualification purposes.

 

  (5)

The Fund’s ability to sell this security is subject to certain legal or contractual restrictions. As of August 31, 2018, the aggregate value of restricted securities held by the Fund was $88,794 (8.7% of total assets), which included $45,295 of Level 2 securities and $43,499 of Level 3 securities.

 

  (6)

Fair valued security.

 

 

  (7)

Class B Units are convertible on a one-for-one basis into common units of Capital Product Partners L.P. (“CPLP”) and are senior to the common units in terms of liquidation preference and priority of distributions (liquidation preference of $9.00 per unit). The Class B Units pay quarterly cash distributions and are convertible at any time at the option of the holder. The Class B Units paid a distribution of $0.21375 per unit for the third quarter.

 

  (8)

Dividends are paid-in-kind.

 

  (9)

On August 24, 2018, Enbridge Inc. (“ENB”) announced it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire, with ENB stock, all of the outstanding public common units of Spectra Energy Partners, LP (“SEP”). On September 18, 2018, ENB announced it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire, with ENB stock, all of the outstanding public equity securities of Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (“EEP”), Enbridge Energy Management, L.L.C. (“EEQ”) and Enbridge Income Fund Holdings Inc. (“ENF”).

 

(10)

The Fund believes that it is an affiliate of Buckeye Partners, L.P. (“BPL”), Plains AAP, L.P. (“PAGP-AAP”) and Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (“PAGP”). The Fund does not believe that it is an affiliate of California Resources Corporation.

 

(11)

The Fund’s ownership of PAGP-AAP is exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into either PAGP shares or Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA”) units at the Fund’s option. The Fund values its PAGP-AAP investment on an “as exchanged” basis based on the higher public market value of either PAGP or PAA. As of August 31, 2018, the Fund’s PAGP-AAP investment is valued at PAA’s closing price.

 

(12)

On August 10, 2018, The Williams Companies, Inc. (“WMB”) and Williams Partners L.P. (“WPZ”) completed their previously announced stock-for-unit merger.

 

(13)

Unless otherwise noted, securities are treated as a publicly-traded partnership for RIC qualification purposes. To qualify as a RIC for tax purposes, the Fund may directly invest up to 25% of its total assets in equity and debt securities of entities treated as publicly-traded partnerships. The Fund had 23.4% of its total assets invested in publicly-traded partnerships at August 31, 2018. It is the Fund’s intention to be treated as a RIC for tax purposes.

 

(14)

On March 2, 2018, the Fund purchased, in a private placement, Class C Units from BPL. The BPL Class C Units are similar in all respects to the common units except that BPL has elected to pay distributions in-kind (additional Class C Units) instead of cash. The Class C Units will convert on a one-for-one basis to BPL common units no later than March 2, 2020 and convert automatically on a one-for-one basis if BPL reduces its common unit distribution.

 

(15)

On October 19, 2018, Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE”) and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) completed their previously announced unit-for-unit merger, in which ETE acquired ETP. Upon closing of the merger, ETE changed its name to Energy Transfer LP.

 

(16)

The rate indicated is the current yield as of August 31, 2018.


Table of Contents

From time to time, the Fund’s ability to sell certain of its investments is subject to certain legal or contractual restrictions. For instance, private investments that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), cannot be offered for public sale in a non-exempt transaction without first being registered. In other cases, certain of the Fund’s investments have restrictions such as lock-up agreements that preclude the Fund from offering these securities for public sale.

At August 31, 2018, the Fund held the following restricted investments:

Table of Contents

At August 31, 2018, the cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was $946,282. At August 31, 2018, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

   $ 160,398  

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (91,292
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 69,106  
  

 

 

 

The cost basis for federal income tax purposes is estimated based on information available from the Fund’s portfolio companies. In some cases, this information is very limited. Accordingly, the actual cost basis may prove higher or lower than the estimated cost basis included above.

As required by the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 820”), the Fund has performed an analysis of all assets and liabilities measured at fair value to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories.

 

   

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets traded on a national exchange to which the Fund has access at the date of measurement.

 

   

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

 

   

Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table presents the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at August 31, 2018, and the Fund presents these assets by security type and description on its Schedule of Investments. Note that the valuation levels below are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment.

The Fund’s investment in Plains AAP, L.P. (“PAGP-AAP”) is exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into either Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (“PAGP”) shares or Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA”) units at the Fund’s option. The Fund values its PAGP-AAP investment on an “as exchanged” basis based on the higher public market value of either PAGP or PAA. As of August 31, 2018, the Fund’s PAGP-AAP investment is valued at PAA’s closing price. The Fund categorizes its investment as a Level 2 security for fair value reporting purposes.

The Fund did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at August 31, 2018. For the nine months ended August 31, 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The Fund’s investments are concentrated in the energy sector. The focus of the Fund’s portfolio within the energy sector may present more risks than if the Fund’s portfolio were broadly diversified across numerous sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy sector would have a larger impact on the Fund than on an investment company that does not focus on the energy sector. The performance of securities in the energy sector may lag the performance of other industries or the broader market as a whole. Additionally, to the extent that the Fund invests a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the Fund may be more susceptible than a more widely diversified investment company to any single economic, political or regulatory occurrence. At August 31, 2018, the Fund had the following investment concentrations:
