Trace’s current portfolio comprises 11 active investments including Rushmore Resources, Rockies Resources, Canes Midstream and BANGL Pipeline.
“We believe our investment process, team and proven track record form the foundation of an advantaged energy investment platform for institutional investors, entrepreneurs and businesses seeking to capture real energy returns available today while also taking advantage of opportunities created by the world’s critical low-carbon priorities,” Marye added.
