TORONTO, Dec. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ninepoint Partners LP (“Ninepoint”), one of Canada’s leading alternative investment managers, announced today a significant increase in the monthly distribution for the Ninepoint Energy Income Fund, increasing the annual target by 100%, from 7% to 14%* effective January 15, 2026. The monthly distribution amount may be adjusted by the Manager without notice throughout the year as market conditions change.
The decision reflects our conviction in the durability of income generation within the sector. While oil prices experience short-term volatility, we believe that the underlying fundamentals of the companies we own remain compelling:
- Strong Free Cash Flow: Canadian energy producers continue to demonstrate resilience, driven by strong free cash flow generation.
- Shareholder Returns: Companies are prioritizing paying shareholders through dividends and buybacks rather than drilling for new supply.
- Structural Scarcity: Global demand for power and LNG is rising while supply remains constrained.
“As the world moves into a new era of energy scarcity and rising power demand, we believe both oil and natural gas are exceptionally well positioned,” says Eric Nuttall, Partner and Senior Portfolio Manager at Ninepoint Partners. “The combination of strong free cash flow, long-life assets, and disciplined capital returns gives us high confidence in the sector’s ability to continue delivering attractive income.”
This constructive environment underpins Ninepoint’s decision to increase the monthly distribution for the Ninepoint Energy Income Fund, reflecting a strengthened outlook for the asset class and our commitment to delivering meaningful income to investors.
Ninepoint Energy Income Fund is available to investors as a liquid alternative mutual fund, including an ETF Series, trading under the ticker NRGI (CBOE). Investors can purchase units through their financial advisor, online brokerage platform, or investment dealer.
