Waypoint Energy Fund 2026 Webinar
In this Waypoint Energy 2026 Fund webinar, Tait Duryea is joined by Mark Fleming and the Turbine Capital team to introduce Turbine’s new private energy vertical. They cover why oil and gas remain essential, how U.S. shale changed the global energy landscape, and why non-operative working interests may offer a compelling blend of diversification, cash flow, and tax advantages for high-income professionals. The discussion also walks through fund structure, diligence, share classes, GP versus LP titling, expected deployment timelines, and common investor questions around risk, capital calls, production delays, and exit strategy.
