TYG: This Aptly Named Fund Can Be Safely Avoided

Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp (TYG) is described as having persistently poor long-term returns, with a rigid fund structure and no move toward a more active strategy to adapt to shifting energy sector trends. The fund uses approximately 25% leverage via preferred stock and debt, adding structural risk without evidence of improved performance. The article is largely critical and suggests ongoing underperformance rather than a near-term catalyst.
