Net Asset Value(s) and Investment Update

Sequoia Economic Infrastructure Income Fund Limited

Net Asset Value as at 30 September 2016 and Investment Update

Ordinary Share update

As of the 30th September 2016, the Ordinary share class held 17 private debt investments and 11 infrastructure bonds, collectively valued at £300.4m including accrued interest, with an annualised yield-to-maturity (or yield-to-worst in the case of callable bonds) of 8.3% and a weighted average life across the acquired portfolio of approximately 5.1 years.

Approximately 52% of the Ordinary Share portfolio comprises floating rate assets, with only two LIBOR floors above current LIBOR levels (of which one is Sterling and the other is Euros). As such, the portfolio's yield is likely to rise 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 increase in the Ordinary Share NAV (cum dividend) to 101.29p from 100.44p per share arose primarily through:

· Interest income net of expenses of 0.43p;

· A decline of 0.07p in asset valuations; and

· An increase of 0.49p in FX movements.

C Share update

As of the 30th September 2016, the C Share class held 8 private debt investments and 2 infrastructure bonds, with one further private debt position settled, but remains undrawn. Including undrawn assets the C share class was 93.2% invested as at 30 September 2016.

These assets are collectively valued at £133.7m 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 3.6 years.

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

Investments in September include a senior secured bridge loan to fund the acquisition of two renewable projects from SunEdison through a private sale process.

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 C Share Conversion Ratio will be announced alongside the September monthly NAV and Conversion will be effective as at 1 November 2016.

The increase in the C Share NAV (cum dividend) to 99.21p from 98.49p per share arose primarily through:

· Interest income net of expenses of 0.26p;

· An increase of 0.18p in asset valuations; and

· An increase of 0.27p in FX movements.
