The royalty ownership model in the energy industry provides an attractive investment profile: - No operating costs or capital expenses - Direct exposure to commodity upside - Superior cash flow margins - Lower regulatory and environmental risk compared to operators
The initial focus of the Fund should be acquisition of U.S.-based oil & gas royalties through direct purchase of mineral rights and overriding royalty interests (ORRIs). The Fund should target both producing and non-producing assets, balancing income generation with growth potential.
The Fund may be structured as a private partnership with the flexibility to elect REIT treatment if warranted by the composition of the royalty portfolio. Investors will be provided with options for in-kind distribution of royalties to maximize after-tax outcomes.
A dedicated, experienced management team should oversee all aspects of the Fund’s activities, leveraging deep industry relationships and technical capabilities in valuation, acquisition, and royalty management. The Fund will maintain rigorous financial and governance practices, with transparent reporting to investors.
As global energy markets evolve, royalties from renewable energy projects and technology licensing are expected to represent a growing opportunity. The Fund would be designed to evolve with the market, positioning investors to benefit from both traditional and emerging royalty streams.
