Speaker: James J. Murchie
Energy Income Partners, LLC

Chairs: Ryan Buckmaster, CFA and Rama Malladi, CFA

In this presentation, James J. Murchie will discuss the following:

• What is the outlook for shale gas?

• Will the US ever export natural gas?

• What is the best way to take advantage of the renaissance in US oil production?

• How do you make money “selling pick-axes to the miners?”

EIP believes that the best risk-adjusted returns in commodity businesses come from companies that make steady, low double-digit returns for providing a mundane service. Imposing capital discipline on these companies through a forced payout of most of their free cash flow keeps income coming to their investors.
