Sequoia Economic Infrastructure Income Fund Limited

Net Asset Value as at 31 August 2017 and Investment Update

Ordinary Share update

SEQI's NAV increased to 100.81 per share from 100.11 per share on 31st July 2017 which arose primarily through:

· Interest income net of expenses of 0.42p;

· An increase of 0.08p in asset valuations;

· An increase of 0.20p from FX movements.

During August, the Company's investment activities resulted in the total invested portfolio of 75.8% of the Company's NAV, with an additional £126.0m either traded but not settled or undrawn commitments. The total amount invested and committed represents 92.5% of the Company's NAV. The Company has gross leverage of £40m representing approximately 5.3% of NAV.

The portfolio held 29 private debt investments and 15 infrastructure bonds for a total of 44 investments that covered 8 sectors and 22 subsectors, and are collectively valued at £577.7m including accrued interest with an annualised yield-to-maturity (or yield-to-worst in the case of callable bonds) of 8.1% and a weighted average life across the acquired portfolio of approximately 4.6 years. The weighted average purchase price of the Company's acquired investments was approximately 96.2% of par. Investments with construction risk represent 12% of NAV.

As of the 31st August 2017, approximately 89% of NAV consisted of either Sterling assets or was hedged into Sterling. The Company has adequate resources to cover the cash costs associated with its hedging activities. Each of its FX hedge providers has credit lines to the Company which means that the margin calls on the hedge portfolio have been modest.

Approximately 48% of the invested portfolio comprises floating rate assets, with only two LIBOR floor above current LIBOR levels (EUR). As such, the portfolio's yield is likely to rise over time as LIBOR increases. The Company expects the floating rate proportion to exceed 50% once all outstanding trades have settled.

The Company's settled investment activities during August include:

· The $15.9m Green Plains term loan B was refinanced, and the Company participated in the refinancing with $18m.

· An additional drawdown of roughly £1.1m to the Clyde Street Glasgow student housing transaction;

· Sold $15m of the Cheniere Corp Christi 7% 2024 bonds and $15m of GFL Environmental 9.875% 2021 bonds, valued together at £26m.

On 30th August it was announced that the Company would be included in the FTSE 250 index, effective from 18th September 2017.
