When I retired 5 years ago, I needed a basis for a Company, tax shield, a way to write off medical expenses and 401k savings. I settled on non op oil and gas which worked great, but I quickly found finding and administering properties to be a lot. Enter the Enclosure Energy funds. Suddenly I had access to a diverse propriety network of hand picked properties providing all the tax shield and return I needed with none of the burdens. In addition to an efficient, well managed fund with excellent management, I also found a great community of like minded investors all solving similar issues.

As someone who has invested in over 10+ deals across multiple asset classes, I am continually looking for strong operators especially in the O&G space. I’m very grateful to have discovered Enclosure Energy for the following reasons: -Reinvesting 30-50% of the fund’s free cash flows to buy more non-operating working interests to help offset the inherent decline curve. This strategy significantly improves the chance of both return of capital (huge issue in most O&G funds) and a strong MOIC/equity multiple. -A below market one-time management fee means more capital is deployed into cash flowing assets rather than admin -Distributions from O&G production start within a 90-120 days of the fund closing at year-end (already received ~4%) -Diversification of high grade non-operating working interests across numerous operators, wells, and shale basins. (Avg per fund = 4-8 operators / 50-70 wells / 4-5 USA basins) -Focused solely in proven undeveloped locations which lowers dry hole risk -Above average co-investment from GP/Advisory team + favorable LP/GP split which bolsters long term alignment. -Institutional private equity experience that brings expertise and competence to a very complex industry. -Excellent performance and track record thus far on their first two funds (fund 1 & 2)
