BEIYX Investment Objective and Strategy

Center Coast Brookfield Energy Infrastructure Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Brookfield Investment Funds.

Investment objective

"The Center Coast Brookfield Energy Infrastructure Fund (the ""Fund"") seeks total return through growth of capital and current income."

Principal investment strategy

"Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including amounts borrowed for investment purposes) in securities of energy infrastructure companies consisting of master limited partnerships (""MLPs"") and in other investments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities (collectively, ""MLP Investments"") (the ""80% Policy""). The Fund's MLP Investments may include, but are not limited to, investments that have economic characteristics similar to MLPs in the form of common units issued by MLPs, preferred and convertible subordinated units of MLPs, securities that are derivatives of interests in MLPs, including equity securities of ""MLP affiliates,"" which the Adviser defines as entities issuing MLP I-shares, securities of entities holding primarily general partner or managing member interests in MLPs, MLPs that are taxed as ""C"" corporations, and other entities that operate like MLPs and have economic characteristics like MLPs but are organized and taxed as ""C"" corporations or organized as limited liability companies.

The Fund defines an energy infrastructure company as a company that derives at least 50% of its revenues or operating income from the ownership, operation or providing services for the operation of energy infrastructure assets, including assets used in transporting, processing, storing, distributing, mining or marketing natural gas, natural gas liquids, coal, crude oil, refined products or electricity, or exploring, developing, generating, managing or producing such commodities. For purposes of the 80% Policy, energy infrastructure companies include investment companies that invest in MLP Investments. The Fund intends to invest in MLP Investments that the Adviser believes will have strong risk adjusted returns and stable and growing cash distributions. The Fund concentrates ( i.e. , invests more than 25% of its total assets) in securities of companies in the energy infrastructure industry and the energy industry, and the Fund intends to make the majority of its investments in ""midstream"" MLP Investments.

Midstream MLP Investments are generally engaged in the treatment, gathering, compression, processing, transportation, transmission, fractionation, storage and terminalling of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products or coal. The Fund may invest in securities of MLP Investments of any capitalization, and may include foreign securities. Pursuant to tax regulations, the Fund may invest no more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of MLPs and other entities treated as qualified publicly traded partnerships, which are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are defined more specifically in the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies (""RICs""). The Fund intends to be taxed as a RIC and comply with all RIC-related restrictions, thereby avoiding taxation as a C-corporation under the U.S.

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ""Code""). In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in debt securities of any issuers, including securities which may be rated below investment grade (""junk bonds"") by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (""NRSRO"") or determined by the Adviser to be of comparable credit quality. The Fund will not have any duration or weighted average maturity restrictions. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of net assets in illiquid securities, and may write call options on securities that are held in the portfolio ( i.e. , covered calls). The Fund may invest in other investment companies to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ""1940 Act""). The Fund may invest in permissible securities without regard to the market capitalization of the issuer of such security.

The Fund may change the 80% Policy without shareholder approval. The Fund will provide shareholders with written notice at least 60 days prior to the implementation of any such changes. The Fund is non-diversified which means it may focus its investments in a limited number of issuers. The Adviser seeks to identify a portfolio of high quality MLP Investments. In managing the Fund's assets, the Adviser uses a disciplined investment process focused on due diligence from the perspective of an MLP owner, operator and acquirer. The Adviser first establishes a universe of high quality MLP Investments ( i.e. , MLP Investments with strong risk adjusted returns and stable and growing cash distributions) utilizing a proprietary multi-factor model, and then strategically weights those companies using financial and valuation analysis centered on quantitative factors including cash flow, yield and relative valuation to establish a valuation target.

Next, the Adviser evaluates asset quality, considering factors such as contract structure, operating risk, competitive environment and growth potential. The Adviser also assesses management quality, drawing on its previous experience with many of the MLP Investments' management teams to evaluate their financial discipline, level of general partner support, operational expertise, strength of their business plans and ability to execute those plans. The Adviser also includes in the diligence process an assessment of the trading dynamics of the securities issued by the MLP Investments and other issuers, including liquidity, identification of fund flow from institutional investors with large holdings in the MLP Investments and other issuers, equity overhang ( i.e. , the difference between funds raised and funds invested) and float ( i.e.

, the number of a company's shares issued and available to be traded by the general public). The Adviser then ranks, weights and invests in MLP Investments based on its assessment of the durability of their cash flows, relative market valuation and growth potential. The Adviser generally sells an investment if it determines that the characteristics that resulted in the original purchase decision have changed materially, the investment is no longer earning a return commensurate with its risk, the Adviser identifies other investments with more attractive valuations and return characteristics, or the Fund requires cash to meet redemptions."
