Infrastructure Capital Advisors
ABOUT
Infrastructure Capital Advisors, LLC (ICA) is an SEC-registered investment advisor that manages exchange traded funds (ETFs) and a series of hedge funds. The firm was formed in 2012 and is based in New York City.
ICA seeks total-return opportunities driven by catalysts, largely in key infrastructure sectors. These sectors include energy, real estate, transportation, industrials and utilities. It often identifies opportunities in entities that are not taxed at the entity level, such as master limited partnerships ("MLPs") and real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). It also looks for opportunities in credit and related securities, such as preferred stocks.
Current income is a primary objective in most, but not all, of ICA's investing activities. Consequently, the focus is generally on companies that generate and distribute substantial streams of free cash flow. This approach is based on the belief that tangible assets that produce free cash flow have intrinsic values that are unlikely to deteriorate over time.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
AMZA Quarterly Commentary
We believe that a gradual return to normal business activity and recent OPEC+ agreements is likely to drive oil prices higher and support MLP stock prices as there is a long-term need for North American oil and gas.
PFFA Quarterly Commentary
The market for all fixed income securities, including preferred stock, stabilized during the second quarter due to both Federal Reserve action and a gradual return to normal business operations after the shutdown.
PFFR Quarterly Commentary
We believe REIT preferreds offer an attractive way to access market dislocations. Economies are beginning to return to normal operations and federal monetary policy and stimulus has supported market recovery.
