Chickasaw MLP Separate Account

The Chickasaw MLP Separate Account – a separately managed account portfolio strategy focused on investments in Midstream energy infrastructure – is a flagship solution among our diverse range of investment strategies.

Traditionally structured as MLPs (Master Limited Partnerships), Midstream companies provide essential services in the transportation, processing and storage of energy products. Their assets include major pipeline systems that deliver products such as natural gas, crude oil, refined fuels and other energy products to end markets. Nearly all other critical infrastructure is directly dependent upon the products that Midstream companies deliver.

Distinct Opportunity

The Midstream sector offers several key attributes that make for a compelling infrastructure investment. Historically, Midstream investments have shown comparable performance relative to broader equity markets with lower correlation to other asset classes (view slide). Additionally, these companies may provide attractive current yields through quarterly cash distributions, which have typically remained stable due to fee-based revenue models tied to U.S. energy demand.

Midstream energy companies that have elected to be taxed as partnerships benefit from partnership tax treatment – avoiding the double taxation seen in corporations. Driven by a combination of yield and growth, these companies are positioned to capitalize on potential expansion in both traditional and transitional energy infrastructure.

The revenues of Midstream energy companies are largely unaffected by commodity price fluctuations due to capacity reservation fees. This stability makes these securities a potential inflation hedge due to market rate adjustments tied to inflation measures in many customer contracts, the rising replacement cost of long-lived assets and a variety of other factors.

Unrivaled Experience

With almost three decades of experience investing in Master Limited Partnerships – which we believe is the most in the U.S. – Chickasaw portfolio managers stand on the leading edge of Midstream energy infrastructure investment management. The tenure of our team reaches back to the earliest days of the structure. We have played a direct role in bringing many of these entities public, have introduced a number of innovative capital funding techniques and harness our longstanding relationships with top management teams to provide an established process for performance in the space.

We have educated hundreds of investors and even “wrote the book” on MLPs – “Master Limited Partnerships” In The Handbook of Infrastructure Investing, edited by Michael D. Underhill, 81-110. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2010.

Long-Standing Proficiency

Chickasaw uses a disciplined approach to select securities positioned to potentially offer attractive yield, distribution growth and stability. Our strategy is built on deep industry knowledge and a rigorous research process that evaluates financial health and growth prospects, along with the underlying fundamentals of the energy infrastructure sector. This approach aims to deliver consistent income and total return, making it an appealing option for investors seeking exposure to the energy infrastructure sector.

Chickasaw Capital Management’s experience, proficiency and focused strategy make the Chickasaw MLP Separate Account a strong option for those looking to diversify their portfolios with a specialized investment in an established energy infrastructure solution.

Business Continuity Planning

We have developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.

Contacting Us – If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at 901-537-1866 or 800-743- 5410, you should go to our web site at www.chickasawcap.com for further direction.

Our Business Continuity Plan – We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.

Our business continuity plan addresses: data backup and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.

We back up important records in a geographically separate area. While every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption, our objective is to restore operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within 24 hours. Your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period.

Varying Disruptions – Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within 2 hours. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within 24 hours. In either situation, we plan to continue in business and notify you how to contact us through our web site www.chickasawcap.com. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customers prompt access to their funds and securities.

For more information – If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at 901-537-1866 or 800-743-5410.
