Tortoise Announces Completion of Fund Name and Investment Policy Changes for Tortoise Midstream Energy Fund, Inc.

Tortoise today confirmed the completion of the previously announced name change for its closed-end fund Tortoise Midstream Energy Fund, Inc. (NYSE: NTG), formerly known as Tortoise MLP Fund, Inc. Ticker symbol and CUSIP remain unchanged.

In addition, effective today is an amended investment policy for NTG. Under the amended policy, under normal market conditions, NTG will invest at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of midstream energy entities in the energy infrastructure sector, including MLPs, with at least 50% of its total assets in equity securities of natural gas infrastructure entities. Previously, NTG’s investment policy stipulated that at least 80% of its total assets would be invested in equity securities of MLPs. Written notice was provided to stockholders of such changes on Nov. 7, 2018.

“This amendment to the investment policy and name change allows greater flexibility for NTG to continue to invest in what we believe are the most attractive midstream energy entities, regardless of company structure,” said Tortoise Portfolio Manager Matt Sallee. “This change enables the fund to continue to seek to meet its objectives as the midstream energy landscape evolves.”
