KA Fund Advisors, LLC, a subsidiary of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P., is a leading investor in both public and private energy companies. Our investment strategies seek to identify and exploit investment niches that we believe are less understood and generally not followed by the broader investor community. As of July 31, 2010, Kayne Anderson managed approximately $9.9 billion in assets under management, including $8.2 billion in energy related assets and over $5.2 billion are invested in MLPs and other midstream energy companies.
We manage three publicly-traded investment companies: Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Company (NYSE:KYN), a closed-end investment company with approximately $2,235 million in total assets as of June 30, 2010; Kayne Anderson Energy Total Return Fund, Inc.
