NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund

Shareholder Letter (Unaudited)

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

For the six month fiscal period ended May 31, 2024 (the “period”), the NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (the “Fund”) delivered a Net Asset Value Total Return (equal to the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share plus reinvested cash distributions from underlying Fund investments during the period) of +21.34%, versus a total return of +16.35% for the S&P 500^® Index (Total Return) (“S&P 500”).¹ The Fund’s Share Price Total Return (equal to the change in market price per share plus reinvested cash distributions from underlying Fund Investments paid during the period) was +42.50% for the period and differs from the Net Asset Value Total Return due to fluctuations in the discount of share price to NAV. The Fund’s shares traded at a 5.83% discount to NAV as of the end of the period, compared to a 19.79% discount at the end of the Fund’s last fiscal year and a 23.32% discount as of May 31, 2023.

Market and Themes Overview

The Fund invests along four main themes:

●

Clean & Sustainable Infrastructure – Renewable energy, sustainable, and water

●

Communication & Technology Infrastructure – Data storage and information highway

●

Energy Infrastructure – Power generation and transmission and midstream energy

●

Industrial Infrastructure – Freight transportation, ports and airports, and engineering

The Fund held the majority of its weighting during the period in midstream energy equities. This grouping continued to exhibit the robust performance trend observed in the prior fiscal year, as exhibited by the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (AMEI) achieving a total return of +14.79% over the period.² Midstream management teams utilized improved financial metrics—such as positive free cash flow after dividends/distributions (FCFaD), strong balance sheets, and steady earnings—to drive equity returns, with increased implementation and execution of capital allocation frameworks.

The performance of midstream energy was further boosted by supportive crude oil prices, which averaged $78 per barrel for the period and surpassed $85 in early April.³ Demand for crude oil remained strong amid heightened global geopolitical tensions, including disruptions in the Middle East and Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Furthermore, OPEC+ extended its voluntary production cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day.⁴

The remainder of the Fund’s investments were spread amongst companies that we view as leaders in providing the infrastructure that will power and facilitate the information-based economy, including the rapid development of generalized artificial intelligence (“GenAI”) and machine learning. Included in this theme are electric utilities and power generators that will satisfy the ever-increasing demand for carbon-free power; the companies providing the software necessary to operate and secure servers and networks; and the companies building out the transmission, distribution and management infrastructure necessary for power and communications delivery.

A more stable interest rate environment also contributed to this period’s performance, with the 10-year treasury yield averaging around 4.25%.⁵ While expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts were deferred to later in the year, Chairman Powell communicated a cautious but dovish stance, indicating that cuts are still likely within the year.⁶

Conversely, natural gas prices faced challenges, plunging 52% peak-to-trough during the period to their lowest levels in nearly 30 years (other than COVID onset distortions) before recovering.⁷ This decline was attributed to milder weather and disruptions in export capacity, leading to significant inventory builds. The administration’s pause on issuing new permits for liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) export to non-FTA countries further dampened sentiment and could serve as a headwind to LNG export growth beyond 2027 if maintained for an extended period. However, the outlook for natural gas began to improve as numerous producers announced reductions in capital expenditure and curtailments in drilling and production activities, potentially marking the start of a bottoming process in anticipation of new demand for LNG feedgas later in the year. Investors also began to shift their focus toward emerging sources of power demand, particularly those driven by the rapid expansion of data centers to host artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity remained a prominent theme in the midstream sector, with numerous transactions announced during the period. This activity included various asset sales, consolidations of joint venture interests, and two notable corporate mergers: Sunoco LP’s (NYSE: SUN) acquisition of NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE: NS), and EQT Corporation’s (NYSE: EQT) pending acquisition of Equitrans Midstream Corporation (NYSE: ETRN). We anticipate that midstream consolidation will continue as companies seek to build scale and maintain pricing power, mirroring strategies employed by upstream producers.

Fund Performance and Strategy

For the period, the Fund delivered a +21.34% NAV total return. Positive performance in the Fund was dominated by its holdings in Electric Utilities & Power Generation and in midstream energy, with the Natural Gas Gatherers & Processors, Natural Gas transportation & Storage, and Large-Cap Diversified MLPs subsectors generating the largest contributions to overall performance (contributions take relative weighting and total returns into account).

The top contributor to the Fund was Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST). Vistra benefited from its exposure to the Texas merchant power market which is expected to tighten significantly due to continued migration and the expansion of data centers within the state. VST also completed its acquisition of Energy Harbor Corp. (OTC: ENGH) in early March, adding approximately 4,000 MW of nuclear generation capacity, currently in high demand by data center operators.

Other top contributors included Equitrans and Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP. Equitrans benefited from the announcement of its merger with, EQT Corp., from which it had previously been spun off in 2018, in an all-stock transaction. Reuniting the two businesses will create one of the largest vertically integrated natural gas production companies in North America. This merger will enable a competitive FCF breakeven for the resulting entity, ensuring strong cash flow generation across commodity cycles. Targa Resources rallied at the start of the year, benefiting from its integrated wellhead-to-water Permian natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) footprint developed over recent years. Targa’s valuation quickly re-rated during the period, propelled by factors such as its long-term growth framework and improving financial outlook.

The Fund’s bottom contributors in order of most negative to least negative performance were Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE: LNG), New Fortress Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NFE), and Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM). Cheniere Energy and New Fortress were impacted by negative sentiment in the LNG market due to the Department of Energy’s decision to pause non-Free Trade Agreement LNG export permits. While this decision affected many proposed LNG projects in the United States, it does not have a direct near-term impact on Cheniere or on New Fortress. Akamai’s performance suffered from a greater-than-expected decline in its content delivery business as it attempts to pivot to growth through cloud computing and cybersecurity.

During the period, we positioned the Fund to seek to benefit from increased power demand driven by the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology and the resulting data center expansion. We increased exposure to natural gas-focused midstream companies and Utilities like Vistra, which greatly benefited the Fund.

Leverage

The Fund’s investment strategy focuses on holding core positions in companies generating stable cash flows and long-term growth prospects. We also work diligently to optimize the use of leverage for additional income and total return potential. This involves leveraging investments when the probabilities of positive total return are deemed to be skewed favorably. As the prices of the Fund’s investment increase or decline, there is a risk that the impact to the Fund’s NAV and total return will be negatively impacted by leverage, but this strategy is designed to have a positive impact over the longer term.

Average leverage for the period was 36% of managed assets, which compares to an average 29% leverage ratio in the prior fiscal year.

Closing

The midstream energy sector, as represented by the AMEI has outperformed the S&P 500 for three consecutive calendar years and is off to a promising start for a fourth year. Despite this positive performance, both in absolute and relative terms, the valuation multiples of midstream companies—measured by enterprise value (EV) to EBITDA ratios—have remained relatively unchanged during this period. They continue to be discounted compared to pre-COVID levels and exhibit a roughly 38% discount to the S&P 500.

We believe the sustained capital discipline practiced by domestic producers represents one of the most bullish long-term developments for energy commodity prices. We remain resolute in our view that the ongoing theme of persistent underinvestment in the oil and gas sector will lead to a prolonged period of higher commodity prices and enhanced capital returns for the energy sector. This environment provides a favorable backdrop for energy equities, including midstream energy.

Moreover, even without the tailwinds from commodity prices, the current strength of the midstream sector’s balance sheets is unparalleled in recent history. With less need to allocate FCF towards reducing leverage, the prospects for enhanced cash returns to equity holders through growth in dividends/distributions and buybacks are evident. This strategy offers potential protection against future market volatility. Expectations for steady EBITDA growth and a decrease in capital expenditure spending, especially as we move into 2025, mean the sector is well-positioned for robust FCF generation. As a result, returns to equityholders may rise in 2024 and 2025, even without a boost from energy macro tailwinds or an expansion in valuation multiples.

We see the trends fueling the development of next generation infrastructure as likewise strong. Projections for power demand necessary to service the rapid development of GenAI and then incorporate that technology into everyday life support the view that power generation and transmission will grow at levels well above the pace of recent history. Reshoring of industry to mitigate against supply chain pressures exerted by geopolitical uncertainty will, we believe, further support development of infrastructure. Society will demand, further, that this new power and infrastructure be delivered in ways that minimize their impact on the environment.

3

Therefore, our outlook for 2024 remains optimistic. This optimism is based on the durable FCF generation capabilities characteristic of midstream companies, which we believe will continue to drive idiosyncratic and uncorrelated total returns for equityholders. We believe the significant transformation of the midstream energy sector in recent years, alongside its positive FCF attributes, remains unrecognized and mispriced. We believe this value proposition, augmented by the healthy growth outlook for next gen infrastructure, presents multiple opportunities for continued strong performance.

We truly appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to help you achieve your investment goals.

Sincerely,

John Musgrave
Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Investment Officer and Portfolio Manager

The information provided herein represents the opinion of the Fund’s portfolio managers and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice. The opinions expressed are as of the date of this report and are subject to change.

The information in this report is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any market, sector, industry, security or the Fund itself. Statements of fact are from sources considered reliable, but the Fund makes no representation or warranty as to their completeness or accuracy. Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for a complete list of Fund holdings.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return, net asset value and common share market price will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Since the Fund is a closed-end management investment company, shares of the Fund may trade at a discount or premium from net asset value. This characteristic is separate and distinct from the risk that net asset value could decrease as a result of investment activities and may be a greater risk to investors expecting to sell their shares after a short time. The Fund cannot predict whether shares will trade at, above or below net asset value. The Fund should not be viewed as a vehicle for trading purposes. It is designed primarily for risk-tolerant long-term investors.

An investment in the Fund involves risks. Leverage creates risks which may adversely affect returns, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of the Fund’s common shares. The Fund is nondiversified, meaning it may con- centrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock vola- tility than a diversified fund.

The Fund will invest in energy companies, including Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), which concentrate investments in the natural resources sector. Energy companies are subject to certain risks, including, but not limited to the following: fluctuations in the prices of commodities; the highly cyclical nature of the natural resources sector may adversely affect the earnings or operating cash flows of the companies in which the Fund will invest; a significant decrease in the production of energy commodities could reduce the revenue, operating income, operating cash flows of MLPs and other natural resources sector companies and, therefore, their ability to make distributions or pay dividends and a sustained decline in demand for energy commodities could adversely affect the revenues and cash flows of energy companies. Holders of MLP units are subject to certain risks inherent in the structure of MLPs, including tax risks; the limited ability to elect or remove management or the general partner or managing member; limited voting rights and conflicts of interest between the general partner or managing member and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the limited partners or members, on the other hand. Damage to facilities and infrastructure of MLPs may significantly affect the value of an investment and may incur environmental costs and liabilities due to the nature of their business. Investors in MLP funds incur management fees from underlying MLP investments. Small- and mid-cap stocks are often more volatile and less liquid than large-cap stocks. Smaller companies generally face higher risks due to their limited product lines, markets, and financial resources. Funds that invest in bonds are subject to interest-rate risk and can lose principal value when interest rates rise. Bonds are also subject to credit risk, in which the bond issuer may fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner. High yield securities have speculative characteristics and pres- ent a greater risk of loss than higher quality debt securities. These securities can also be subject to greater price volatility. An invest- ment in the Fund will involve tax risks, including, but not limited to: The portion, if any, of a distribution received by the Fund as the holder of an MLP equity security that is offset by the MLP’s tax deductions or losses generally will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the Fund’s tax basis in the MLP equity security, which will cause income or gain to be higher, or losses to be lower, upon the sale of the MLP security by the Fund. Changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations of those laws or regulations in the future could adversely affect the Fund or the energy companies in which the Fund will invest.

4

The potential tax benefits of investing in MLPs depend on them being treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. If the MLP is deemed to be a corporation then its income would be subject to federal taxation at the entity level, reducing the amount of cash available for distribution to the Fund which could result in a reduction of the Fund’s value.

The Fund incurs operating expenses, including advisory fees, as well as leverage costs. Investment returns for the Fund are shown net of fees and expenses.

NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

May 31, 2024

1. Organization

NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (the “Fund”) was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on November 16, 2010, and is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is managed by Cushing^® Asset Management, LP, d/b/a NXG Investment Management (the “Adviser”). The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high total return with an emphasis on current income. The Fund commenced operations on September 25, 2012. The Fund’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NXG.”

2. Significant Accounting Policies

A. Use of Estimates

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of the financial statements. The Fund is considered an investment company and accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The valuation designee is responsible for making fair value determinations pursuant to valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Adviser and the Fund (the “Valuation Policy”). A committee of voting members comprised of senior personnel of the Adviser considers various pricing issues and establishes fair valuations of portfolio securities and other instruments held by the Fund in accordance with the Valuation Policy (the “Valuation Committee”). The Adviser as valuation designee is subject to monitoring and oversight by the Board of Trustees. As a general principle, the fair value of a portfolio instrument is the amount that an owner might reasonably expect to receive upon the instrument’s current sale. A range of factors and analysis may be considered when determining fair value, including relevant market data, interest rates, credit considerations and/or issuer specific news. The Valuation Committee may consult with and receive input from third parties and will utilize a variety of market data including yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, rating, indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, spread over U.S. Treasury obligations, and other information and analysis. In addition, the Valuation Committee may consider valuations provided by valuation firms retained to assist in the valuation of certain of the Fund’s investments. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments. While the Fund’s use of fair valuation is intended to result in calculation of net asset value that fairly reflects values of the Fund’s portfolio securities as of the time of pricing, the Fund cannot guarantee that any fair valuation will, in fact, approximate the amount the Fund would actually realize upon the sale of the securities in question. It is possible that the fair value determined for a portfolio instrument may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that instrument.

18

B. Investment Valuation

The valuation designee uses the following valuation methods to determine fair value as either fair value for investments for which market quotations are available, or if not available, the fair value, as determined in good faith pursuant to the Valuation Policy. The valuation of the portfolio securities of the Fund currently includes the following processes:

(i)

The market value of each security listed or traded on any recognized securities exchange or automated quotation system will be the last reported sale price at the relevant valuation date on the composite tape or on the principal exchange on which such security is traded except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market^®, NASDAQ Global Select Market^® and the NASDAQ Capital Market^® exchanges (collectively, “NASDAQ”). Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If no sale is reported on that date, the security will be valued at the last reported bid price. If the Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) determines that price is not representative of the actual market price, the Committee may determine the fair value of the security.

(ii)

Securities not traded on a U.S. exchange or NASDAQ and foreign securities that are traded on foreign exchanges whose operations are similar to the U.S. over-the-counter market will be valued at prices supplied by a pricing service. If the Committee determines that price is not representative of the actual market price, the Committee may determine the fair value of the security.

(iii)

Debt securities will be valued based on evaluated mean prices by an outside pricing service that employs a pricing model that takes into account bids, yield spreads, and/or other market data and specific security characteristics (e.g., credit quality, maturity and coupon rate). If a price cannot be obtained from pricing services, quotes from market makers or brokers may be used. When possible, more than one market maker or broker should be utilized and the mean of bid and ask prices should be used.

(iv)

Private Placements in Public Entities (“PIPES”) will be valued using the price of the publicly traded common stock as a baseline, deducting the discount realized on the original purchase and amortizing the difference over the restricted period.

(v)

Listed options on debt or equity securities are valued at the last sale price or, if there are no trades for the day, the mean of the closing bid price and ask price. Unlisted options on debt or equity securities are valued based upon their composite bid prices if held long, or their composite ask prices if held short. Futures are valued at the settlement price. Premiums for the sale of options written by an investment company registered under the 1940 Act (a “Registered Fund”) Fund will be included in the assets of such Registered Fund, and the market value of such options will be included as a liability.

(vi)

For valuation purposes, quotations of foreign portfolio securities, other assets and liabilities and forward contracts stated in foreign currency are as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange each day the Exchange is open for trading (or earlier as may be specified by the Registered Fund) and translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at the current prevailing market rates as quoted by a pricing service.

(vii)

Foreign securities are valued using “fair value factors”. Fair value factors consider daily trade activity and price changes for depositary receipts, exchange-traded funds, index futures, foreign currency exchange activity, or other relevant market data.

(viii)

Over-the-counter options on foreign securities and currencies are fair valued by obtaining the “last available bid” from a single dealer that is either the writer or purchaser of the option.

(ix)

Swaps will be valued using market-based prices provided by pricing services or broker-dealer bid counterparty quotations.

19

(x)

Whenever trading in a listed security held in a portfolio is temporarily suspended, halted or delisted from an exchange, the security may be priced using the last closing price for a period of up to 5 business days. The Committee will continue to monitor the security during this period and, if there is a belief that the last closing price does not reflect the fair value of such security, then the value of such security will be determined by the Committee based on factors the Committee deems relevant. Whenever any such valuation determination is made, the Committee will monitor the market and other sources of information available to it in order to ascertain whether any change in circumstance would suggest a change in the value so determined.

The Fund may engage in short sale transactions. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount, if any, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the fair value of the short positions. Subsequent fluctuations in market prices of securities sold short may require purchasing the securities at prices which may differ from the fair value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized under the termination of a short sale. The Fund is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially more than the last quoted price. The Fund is liable for any distributions and dividends (collectively referred to as “Distributions”) paid on securities sold short and such amounts, if any, would be reflected as Distribution expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund’s obligation to replace the borrowed security will be secured by collateral deposited with the broker-dealer. The Fund also will be required to segregate similar collateral to the extent, if any, necessary so that the value of both collateral amounts in the aggregate is at all times equal to at least 100% of the current fair value of the securities sold short.

C. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on a high cost basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Distributions are recorded on the ex- dividend date. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital. The Fund records investment income on the ex-date of the distributions. For financial statement purposes, the Fund uses return of capital and income estimates to allocate the distribution income received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Fund.

The Fund estimates the allocation of investment income and return of capital for the distributions received from its portfolio investments within the Statement of Operations. For the period ended May 31, 2024, the Fund has estimated approximately 60% of the distributions from its portfolio investments to be return of capital.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

D. Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund’s distributions may include a return of capital to shareholders to the extent that distributions are in excess of the Fund’s net investment income and net capital gains, determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations. Distributions that are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a return of capital will reduce each shareholder’s basis in his or her shares and, to the extent the return of capital exceeds such basis, will be treated as a gain to the shareholder from a sale of shares. Returns of shareholder capital may have the effect of reducing the Fund’s assets and increasing the Fund’s expense ratio.

20

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023, the Fund’s distributions were 53%, or $5,464,995, ordinary income, and 47%, or $4,776,393, return of capital.¹The final character of distributions paid for the period ended May 31, 2024 will be determined in early 2025.

E. Federal Income Taxation

The Fund intends to qualify each year for special tax treatment afforded to a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”). In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must, among other things, satisfy income, asset diversification and distribution requirements. As long as it so qualifies, the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it distributes annually its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and the excess of net short- term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) and its “net capital gain” (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss). The Fund intends to distribute at least annually substantially all of such income and gain. If the Fund retains any investment company taxable income or net capital gain, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the retained amount at regular corporate tax rates. In addition, if the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of its income and gains at regular corporate tax rates.

The Fund recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more-likely- than-not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax benefits resulting from such a position are measured as the amount that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood on a cumulative basis to be sustained on examination.

F. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Fund considers all highly liquid investments purchased with initial maturity equal to or less than three months to be cash equivalents.

G. Cash Flow Information

The Fund makes distributions from investments, which include the amount received as cash distributions from MLPs, common stock dividends and interest payments. These activities are reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, and additional information on cash receipts and payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows.

H. Indemnification

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under such indemnification arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred and may not occur. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

I. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Fund provides disclosure regarding derivatives and hedging activity to allow investors to understand how and why the Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect the Fund’s results of operations and financial position.

The Fund occasionally purchases and sells (“writes”) put and call equity options as a source of potential protection against a broad market decline. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Options are settled for cash.

1.	For the period ended May 31, 2024, the Fund’s distributions are expected to be 100%, or $8,429,555, return of capital.

21

Purchased Options — Premiums paid by the Fund for purchased options are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the fair value of the option and any change in fair value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for purchased options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain/loss or cost basis of the security.

Written Options — Premiums received by the Fund for written options are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the fair value of the written option and any change in fair value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. Premiums received from written options that expire are treated as realized gains. The Fund records a realized gain or loss on written options based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Put options written subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Fund is not subject to credit risk on written options as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

The Fund has adopted the disclosure provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s use of and accounting for derivative instruments and the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Tabular disclosure regarding derivative fair value and gain/ loss by contract type (e.g., interest rate contracts, foreign exchange contracts, credit contracts, etc.) is required and derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 must be disclosed separately from those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Even though the Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to achieve an economic hedge, the Fund’s derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 because investment companies account for their derivatives at fair value and record any changes in fair value in current period earnings.

There were no transactions in purchased options during the period ended May 31, 2024.

The average monthly fair value of written options during the period ended May 31, 2024 was $24,760.

J. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848); Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform. The guidance is applicable to contracts referencing London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The original guidance and the scope clarification become effective upon issuance in March 2020 and January 2021, respectively. However, the guidance in ASC 848 is temporary in nature and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022 or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. In December 2022, FASB deferred ASU 2022-04 and issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the application of the amendments through December 31, 2024. Management is evaluating and believes it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have a significant impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

3. Concentrations of Risk

The Fund will pursue its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of equity and debt securities of infrastructure companies, including energy infrastructure companies, industrial infrastructure companies, sustainable infrastructure companies and technology and communication infrastructure companies. Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Infrastructure companies may also be affected by or subject to difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets; inexperience with and potential losses resulting from a developing de-regulatory environment; costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental and other regulations; regulation or adverse actions by various government authorities; government regulation of rates charged to customers; service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps; the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards; technological innovations that may render existing plants, equipment or products obsolete; and general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure assets.

4. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

The Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser a fee payable at the end of each calendar month, at an annual rate equal to 1.25% of the average weekly value of the Fund’s Managed Assets during such month for the services and facilities provided by the Adviser of the Fund. “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations other than liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage, including, without limitation, investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of shares of preferred stock or other similar preference securities and/or (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Effective on May 23, 2024, the Fund’s Board of Trustees has approved a

23

waiver of the advisory fees to be paid to the Adviser in the amount of 0.25% of the Fund’s Managed Assets. The Adviser earned $923,343 and waived $184,669 in advisory fees for the period ended May 31, 2024. The Adviser will not recoup any of the waived expenses from the Fund.

The Fund has engaged U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, d/b/a U.S. Bancorp Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”) to serve as the Fund’s administrator. The Fund pays the administrator a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.09% of the first $100,000,000 of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.07% on the next $200,000,000 of average daily net assets and 0.04% on the balance of the Fund’s average daily net assets, with a minimum annual fee of $70,000.

Fund Services serves as the Fund’s transfer agent, dividend paying agent, and agent for the automatic dividend reinvestment plan.

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Fund’s custodian. The Fund pays the custodian a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.004% of the Fund’s average daily market value, with a minimum annual fee of $4,800.

Fees paid to trustees for their services to the Fund are reflected as Trustees’ fees on the Statement of Operations.

5. Income Taxes

It is the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the IRC and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in its financial statements.

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the Company to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains or losses on investments. Permanent book and tax basis differences resulted in the reclassifications of $977,548 to additional paid in capital and $977,548 from accumulated net losses.

The following information is provided on a tax basis as of November 30, 2023:

Cost of investments	$	140,010,228
Gross unrealized appreciation		17,888,143
Gross unrealized depreciation		(12,024,722	)
Net unrealized appreciation		5,863,421
Undistributed ordinary income		—
Undistributed long-term gains		—
Other accumulated losses		(46,588,710	)
Accumulated net losses	$	(40,725,289	)

The Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023. As of November 30, 2023, for federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforward is comprised of short-term capital loss of $14,856,577 and long-term capital loss of $31,732,133.

24

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on U.S. tax returns and state tax returns filed since inception of the Fund. No income tax returns are currently under examination. All tax years beginning with November 30, 2020 remain subject to examination by the tax authorities in the United States. Due to the nature of the Fund’s investments, the Fund may be required to file income tax returns in several states. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

●

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

●

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

●

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Shares at November 30, 2024			2,601,714
Shares at May 31, 2024			2,601,714

9. Borrowing Facilities

The Fund maintains a margin account arrangement with Scotiabank^TM. The interest rate charged on margin borrowing is tied to the cost of funds for Scotiabank^TM, which until May 31, 2023 approximated LIBOR plus 1.00%, and beginning June 1, 2023, approximates SOFR plus 1.00%. Proceeds from the margin account arrangement are used to execute the Fund’s investment objective.

The average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facilities were utilized during the period ended May 31, 2024 was $41,843,000 and 6.31%, respectively. On May 31, 2024, the principal balance outstanding was $45,810,000 and accrued interest expense was $246,631.

10. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to May 31, 2024, the Fund declared monthly distributions to common shareholders in the amounts of $0.5400 per share, payable on June 28 and July 31, 2024, to shareholders of record on June 17 and July 8, 2024, respectively.

On June 20, 2024, the Fund issued transferrable subscription rights (“Rights”) to its common shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on June 20, 2024, entitling the holders of Rights to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 867,238 Common Shares at a subscription price of $37.25 per Common Share (the “Rights Offering”). The Rights Offering expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on July 17, 2024. On July 24, 2024, the Fund issued 867,238 Common Shares pursuant to the Rights Offering.

There were no additional subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued that would require adjustments to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from the Fund’s historical experience and its present expectations or projections indicated in any forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, changes in economic and political conditions; regulatory and legal changes; energy industry risk; leverage risk; valuation risk; interest rate risk; tax risk; and other risks discussed in the Fund’s filings with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Fund undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward- looking statements made herein. There is no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be attained.

Distribution and Dividend Reinvestment Plan

How the Plan Works

Unless the registered owner of common shares elects to receive cash by contacting the Plan Agent, all distributions and dividends (collectively referred to in this section as “dividends”) declared for your common shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, d/b/a U.S. Bancorp Global Fund Services (the “Plan Agent”), agent for stockholders in administering the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Fund. The Plan Agent will open an account for each common stockholder under the Plan in the same name in which such common stockholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly-issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“open-market purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere.

If, on the payment date for any dividend, the market price per common share plus per share fees (which include any brokerage commissions the Plan Agent is required to pay) is greater than the net asset value per common share, the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued common shares, including fractions, on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per common share is greater than the market value per common share plus per share fees, the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

Participation in the Plan

If a registered owner of common shares elects not to participate in the Plan, you will receive all dividends in cash paid by check mailed directly to you (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by sending written or telephonic instructions to the Plan Agent, as dividend paying agent. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by contacting the Plan Agent before the dividend record date; otherwise, such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may reinvest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for you.

Plan Fees

There will be no per share fees with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

Tax Implications

The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Accordingly, any taxable dividend received by a participant that is reinvested in additional common shares will be subject to federal (and possibly state and local) income tax even though such participant will not receive a corresponding amount of cash with which to pay such taxes.

NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund

Board Approval of Investment Management (Unaudited)

May 31, 2024

On May 23, 2024, the Board of Trustees (the “Board,” members of which are referred to collectively as the “Trustees”) of the NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (the “Fund”) met in person to discuss, among other things, the approval of the Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Cushing^® Asset Management, LP d/b/a NXG Investment Management (the “Adviser”) and the Fund.

Activities and Composition of the Board

The Board is comprised of four Trustees, three of whom are not “interested persons,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”). The Trustees are responsible for oversight of the operations of the Fund and perform the various duties imposed by the 1940 Act on the trustees of investment companies. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. Prior to its consideration of the Agreement, the Trustees received and reviewed information provided by the Adviser. The Trustees also received and reviewed information responsive to requests from independent counsel to assist it in its consideration of the Agreement. Before the Trustees voted on the approval of the Agreement, the Independent Trustees met with independent legal counsel during executive session and discussed the Agreement and related information.

Consideration of Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Agreement, including the Adviser’s Form ADV and other background materials supplied by the Adviser.

The Board reviewed and considered the Adviser’s investment advisory personnel, its history, and the amount of assets currently under management by the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the research and decision-making processes used by the Adviser, including the methods adopted to seek to achieve compliance with the investment objectives, strategies, policies, and restrictions of the Fund.

The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s management in connection with the Fund, including reviewing the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the management team members primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of the Fund’s actual and potential investments.

The Board also reviewed certain of the Adviser’s policies and procedures, including the Adviser’s Code of Ethics.

The Board determined that the nature, extent and quality of services to be rendered by the Adviser under the Agreement were adequate.

Consideration of Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services

The Board considered the information they received comparing the Fund’s contractual annual advisory fee and overall expenses, to the extent available, with a peer group of competitor closed-end funds determined by FUSE Research Network LLC (“FUSE”). The Board discussed the funds contained in the peer groups and universes and the general methodology used by FUSE in preparing its report. The Board further determined that because the Fund’s advisory fee waiver is a direct reduction of the advisory fee payable by the Fund and not sensitive to other fund operating expenses, the Board would use the Fund’s contractual advisory fee net of its contractual advisory fee waiver for the purposes of evaluating advisory fees and related costs of the services rendered to the Fund.

30

The Board determined that the Fund’s peer group was small, consisting of only six funds (including the Fund), and that the Fund’s total net expense ratio of 1.86% was in the most expensive quartile with respect to its peer group, while its contractual advisory fee of 1.25%, as reduced to 1.00% to account for the 0.25% contractual advisory fee waiver, was in the least expensive quartile for its peer group.

Consideration of Investment Performance

The Board noted that it regularly reviews the performance of the Fund throughout the year. The Board reviewed performance information provided by FUSE for periods ending February 29, 2024, comparing the performance of the Fund against its peer group over several time horizons, and using different performance metrics, including but not limited to the comparative performance of the Fund in terms of net asset value (NAV) and market price.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s peer group was small, consisting of only six funds (including the Fund) for the one-year period, five funds (including the Fund) for the three-year period, and three funds (including the Fund) for the five-year and ten-year periods. The Trustees determined that, among the funds in the peer group, the Fund’s performance based on NAV was equal to the peer group median for the five-year and ten-year periods and in the lowest performing quartile for the one-year and three-year periods, and based on market price the Fund was in the highest performing quartile for the three-year period, the second highest performing quartile for the one-year period, and equal to the peer group median for the five-year and ten-year periods.

Consideration of Comparable Accounts

The Board reviewed the other accounts and investment vehicles managed by the Adviser and discussed the similarities and differences between these accounts and the Fund.

The Board determined that, bearing in mind the limitations of comparing different types of managed accounts and the different levels of service typically associated with such accounts, the fee structures applicable to the Adviser’s other clients employing a comparable strategy to the Fund was not indicative of any unreasonableness with respect to the advisory fees proposed to be payable by the Fund.

Consideration of Profitability

The Board received and considered a profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser, using a template developed in consultation with counsel to the Independent Trustees, that set forth the fees payable by the Fund under the Agreement and the expenses incurred by the Adviser in connection with the operation of the Fund. The Board used this analysis to evaluate the fairness of the profits realized and anticipated to be realized by the Adviser with respect to the Fund.

The Board considered the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Fund and the assumptions made by the Adviser in the profitability analysis. The Board noted that the Fund was profitable to the Adviser, both before and after distribution expenses. The Board determined that, with respect to the Fund, the profit to the Adviser was not unreasonable.

Consideration of Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund had been or would be passed along to the shareholders under the Agreement. The Board determined there were no material economies of scale accruing to the Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund.

Consideration of Other Benefits

The Board reviewed and considered any other incidental benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, including but not limited to soft dollar arrangements. The Board determined there were no material incidental benefits accruing to the Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund.

Conclusion

In approving the Agreement and the fees charged under the Agreement, the Board concluded that no single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board to be determinative as the principal factor in whether to approve the Agreement. The summary set out above describes the most important factors, but not all matters, considered by the Board in coming to its decision regarding the Agreement. On the basis of such information as the Board considered necessary to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment and its evaluation of all of the factors described above, and after much discussion, the Board concluded that each factor they considered, in the context of all of the other factors they considered, favored approval of the Agreement. It was noted that it was the judgment of the Board that approval of the Agreement was consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
