Sequoia Economic Infrastructure Income Fund Limited

Net Asset Value as at 31 August 2016 and Investment Update

Ordinary Share update

As of the 31st August 2016, the Ordinary share class held 17 private debt investments and 11 infrastructure bonds, collectively valued at £292.7m including accrued interest, with an annualised yield-to-maturity (or yield-to-worst in the case of callable bonds) of 8.2% and a weighted average life across the acquired portfolio of approximately 5.1 years.

Approximately 50% of the Ordinary Share portfolio comprises floating rate assets, with only four LIBOR floors, as such the portfolio's yield is likely to increase over time as LIBOR increases.

The investments are across the UK, Western Europe, Australia, Canada and the US and include a wide range of asset types including road, rail, utility, power, shipping, renewables and aircraft and ship leasing.

The small decrease in the Ordinary Share NAV to 100.44p from 100.78p per share arose primarily through:

· Interest income net of expenses of 0.41p;

· A decline of 0.70p in asset valuations;

· A decline of 0.06p in FX movements.

C Share update

At month end, the C Share class held 7 private debt investments and 2 infrastructure bonds, with one further private debt position in the process of settlement. These assets are collectively valued at £118.1m including accrued interest, with an annualised yield-to-maturity (or yield-to-worst in the case of callable bonds) of 9.0% and a weighted average life across the acquired portfolio of approximately 4.1 years.

The investments are geographically diverse and cover the power, aircraft leasing, renewable, utility and health care sectors.

Investments in August include:

· Senior unsecured loan to Natgasoline, a methanol production facility in Texas;

· A mezzanine loan to Regard Group, a specialist care home operator in the UK;

· A term loan to an aircraft leasing company.

The Investment Adviser continues to see attractive opportunities for the deployment of capital in the economic infrastructure debt sector, and expects the overall yield on the C Share portfolio to remain 8% or higher.

The small decrease in the C Share NAV to 98.49p from 98.58p per share arose primarily through:

· Interest income net of expenses of 0.37p;

· A decline of 0.42p in FX movements; and

· A decline of 0.06p in asset valuations.

Market Summary

August was an active month for UK renewables projects during which five projects reached financial close. The largest project to close in August was Tees CHP Biomass Plant (299MW) which secured roughly £900m to construct and operate the plant in north-east England.

In August, the Bank of England cut interest rates for the first time since 2009, from 0.50% to 0.25%, in response to Brexit uncertainty.

Sterling remained relatively flat against the US Dollar at $1.32, and fell slightly against the Euro, ending the month at €1.18.

During August, the Bloomberg USD High Yield Corporate Bond Index rose from 163 to 166.
