Investment Services
NXG provides investment management services on a discretionary basis to high net worth individuals and institutional
investors. NXG offers its services through:
separately managed accounts (“Managed Accounts”),
privately offered pooled investment vehicles (“Private Funds”),
publicly traded closed-end registered investment companies (“Closed-End Funds”) (collectively, the Managed
Accounts, the Private Funds, and the Closed-End Funds are referred to as “Client”, “Clients”, “Client Account” or
“Client Accounts”).
Investment management services include: (1) establishing each Client’s investment objectives; (2) buying or selling portfolio
securities on behalf of each Client, and, from time to time, re-balancing securities in Client portfolios; (3) voting proxies on
behalf of Clients who have delegated such authority; and (4) periodically reporting to each Client current investment
valuations, capital gains or losses, investment income and performance.
As further discussed below, NXG primarily invests Client Accounts in the following types of investments:
Midstream Energy Companies (as described further in Item 8), and
NextGen Infrastructure Companies (as described further in Item 8)
See “Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss” for further information.
NXG provides discretionary investment management services as part of various wrap fee programs (“Wrap Fee Programs”)
offered by investment advisers/broker-dealers (“Sponsors”).
In Wrap Fee Programs, Sponsors typically provide some or all
of the following services: investment management, trade execution, custody, performance monitoring, analysis and
reporting, for an all-inclusive fee. Contractual agreements for Wrap Programs are typically between the Wrap Fee Program
client and the Sponsor. The Sponsor, in turn, contracts with NXG for its investment advisory services. NXG receives a portion
of the fee received by the Sponsor for the services it provides. More information regarding Wrap Fee Programs and the fees
paid by Wrap Fee Program clients to participate in the program can be found in the disclosure brochure for each Wrap Fee
Program, which is provided to Wrap Fee Program clients by the sponsor of the Wrap Fee Program.
