      <image:title>Home - Welcome to Fractal</image:title>
      <image:caption>Markets are chaotic, they have high variability and their structure changes over time. However, there are patterns that recur on a small scale. Fractal Investments LLC founders have researched markets for large institutions for a combined 60 years, looking for patterns and insights into markets. What we have found is that there are some basic factors that if we apply over and over again, like a fractal, they provide better portfolios and investment outcomes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Institutional - Special Situation</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fractal’s Special Situation strategy invests in companies, rights, and warrants that are often associated with a corporate action. Often a company will distribute these assets to their shareholders at good values because they are distributing assets to the owner of those assets.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Institutional - Inflation Sensitive</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fractal’s Inflation Sensitive strategy invests in companies we believe will be positively correlated with inflation. Often these companies are price makers, not price takers. They produce materials that serve as inputs into the production process. In doing so their cash flows tend to be highly correlated to inflation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Institutional - Master Limited Partnerships</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fractal’s Energy Infrastructure strategy invests in pipeline and infrastructure companies that are often (but not always) organized as a Master Limited Partnership.  A Master Limited Partnership (MLP) is a publicly traded partnership. The nature of the partnership facilitates the “pass through” of income to its partners. This essentially avoids double corporate taxation on profits. Ownership interests in MLPs are referred to as “units.” Investors who own MLP units are considered limited partners of the partnership. The companies in our portfolio move energy, CO2, and water from wellheads to processing and export facilities.  These infrastructure assets operate like toll collectors. Rather than highways or airports, MLPs’ main assets are pipelines. They earn a stable income that is often based on long-term service contracts. They pay out the bulk of their cash flows through distributions. Virtually all the companies in our portfolio are developing plans and actively pursuing investments that have low carbon footprints.</image:caption>
