Uncomplicated Direct Investor Access to U.S. Energy Infrastructure
CorEnergy’s focus on identifying and acquiring critical infrastructure enables energy companies to benefit from the monetization of assets, while remaining operationally and commercially in control. Our Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) structure provides investors with direct access to energy infrastructure in a tax-efficient manner. Eligible assets include pipelines, storage terminals, offshore platforms, rights-of-way, and electric transmission and distribution lines.
Uncomplicated Direct Investor Access to U.S. Energy Infrastructure
CorEnergy’s REIT structure provides tax-efficient exposure to infrastructure for a wider range of investors than other types of infrastructure investments. REITs issue a 1099 tax form, not a burdensome K-1 form, and do not generate unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) or effectively connected income (ECI) making the investment accessible to institutional, tax exempt and non-U.S. investors.
Our investment approach emphasizes overall asset operational and financial performance with the potential for enhanced returns through incremental asset growth, capital appreciation and minimization of downside risk.
Our process involves:
Assessment of the overall energy subsector in which the asset is operated
The operating company’s specific competitive position
Asset engineering due diligence
Analysis of commodity price, supply and demand and regulatory concerns
The stability of the asset’s cash flows
The prospective operating company’s management track record
