- Center Coast Brookfield MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund (NYSE: CEN) is a closed-end management investment company that seeks high current income and secondarily long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of master limited partnerships (MLPs) and energy infrastructure companies. The Fund focuses on securities in the energy infrastructure sector, including equity and debt securities of MLPs engaged in midstream activities such as gathering and processing, pipeline transportation of natural gas and petroleum products, liquefaction, services, and electricity transmission and distribution; under normal market conditions, it invests at least 80% of its managed assets in such securities and may allocate up to 20% to unregistered or restricted securities, including those issued by private companies. It employs financial leverage through borrowing, preferred shares, reverse repurchase agreements, or similar transactions to enhance current distributions. The Fund operates in North American public equity and fixed income markets, targeting energy infrastructure entities across all credit ratings, and is treated as a C corporation subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on taxable income.
In October 2023, shareholders approved and the Fund completed a reorganization into the Center Coast Brookfield Midstream Focus Fund, an open-end mutual fund (Class I: CCCNX) managed by Brookfield Public Securities Group LLC, with the transaction finalized prior to the NYSE open on October 9, 2023, subject to regulatory approvals. This strategic shift transitioned the Fund from a closed-end structure to an open-end format seeking maximum total return with an emphasis on cash distributions, continuing its primary focus on midstream MLPs and energy infrastructure companies. Earlier, in February 2018, Brookfield Public Securities Group acquired Center Coast Capital Holdings, LLC, integrating its approximately $4 billion in energy infrastructure assets under management and retaining the Houston-based investment team led by Dan Tutcher, Rob Chisholm, and Jeff Jorgensen to manage the Fund.
The Fund was launched in 2013 and is headquartered at Brookfield Place, 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10281, with Brookfield Public Securities Group LLC—an SEC-registered investment adviser and indirect subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management—as its investment adviser. Brookfield Public Securities Group oversees approximately $21 billion in assets across global listed real assets strategies, including energy infrastructure equities, serving institutional and individual clients such as pension plans, endowments, and high-net-worth investors. Post-reorganization, the successor Midstream Focus Fund maintains sector allocations like 40.4% in gathering & processing and 32.6% in natural gas pipeline transportation as of September 30, 2025, with top holdings including Williams Companies Inc., Targa Resources Corp., and MPLX LP.
