The Cushing^® NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund

Shareholder Letter (Unaudited)

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

The Cushing^® NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (formerly known as the Cushing^® Renaissance Fund) (the “Fund”) generated a positive return for shareholders for the Fund’s six-month fiscal period, which ended May 31, 2022 (the “Period”). For the Period, the Fund delivered a net asset value total return (equal to the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share plus reinvested cash distributions paid during the period) of 5.73%, versus a total return of 14.47% for the S&P Global Infrastructure Index. The Fund’s share price total return (equal to the change in market price per share plus reinvested cash distributions paid during the period) was 0.28% for the period. The share price total return differs from the NAV total return due to fluctuations in the discount of share price to NAV. The Fund’s shares traded at a 19.8% discount to NAV as of the end of the Period, compared to a discount of 15.5% at the end of the Fund’s last fiscal year.

Market & Strategy Overview

The Fund invests along four main themes:

● Clean & Sustainable Infrastructure – Renewable energy, sustainable and water

● Communication & Technology Infrastructure – Data storage, information highway, and payments

● Energy Infrastructure – Power and midstream energy

● Industrial Infrastructure – Toll roads, freight transportation, ports and airports

The Period saw underperformance in high-growth stocks and rotation into defensive and inflation-protected stocks. The Fund had a very positive contribution from Energy Infrastructure but was partially offset by lagging Clean & Sustainable Infrastructure and Communication & Technology Infrastructure. The Fund benefitted from having midstream energy infrastructure as its largest average sector position for the Period. The Fund also had a positive contribution from Industrial Infrastructure. The Fund’s benchmark has >90% of its exposure to utilities, which traded higher with rising inflation, resulting in the Fund’s underperformance relative to the index.

The Fund’s four unique themes each have their own secular drivers that have historically been complimentary in periods when one of the themes lags. This Period saw extreme performances at both ends of the spectrum. Energy Infrastructure was the clear winner, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine kicked off a global energy crisis. On the other side, Clean & Sustainable Infrastructure lagged because of cost of goods inflation and new solar tariffs. However, we believe that the Fund’s holdings are being overly punished and should resume growth.

Fund Performance

The best contributing sector to performance by a wide margin was Midstream Energy, while Fixed Income and Telecommunications also were positive. Midstream benefitted from the recovery in energy prices but also from vastly improved investor sentiment towards oil & gas. The Fund’s top three contributors were all midstream energy companies: Energy Transfer (ET), Pembina (PBA), and Kinder Morgan (KMI).

The largest detracting sectors were Data Centers, Power Management, and Renewable Suppliers. Chinese data center GDS Holdings (GDS) was the largest detractors because of ongoing sector regulation and COVID disruptions. The second and third largest detractors are both Clean & Sustainable Infrastructure companies. Solar panel installer Sunrun (RUN) and battery energy storage provider Fluence Energy (FLNC) both suffered from overall negative growth sentiment as well as company specific issues, new regulations in California and gross margin pressure, respectively.

1

Leverage

The Fund employs leverage for additional income and total return potential. We seek to maintain a leverage ratio between zero and 30% of managed assets during normal market conditions. At the end of the period, the Fund had a leverage ratio of 32%, up from 30% on November 30, 2021. As the prices of the Fund’s investments increase or decline, there is a risk that the impact of Fund’s NAV and total return will be negatively impacted by leverage.

Outlook

This period showed the importance of infrastructure, especially for energy supply. We believe this will create another long-term tailwind for infrastructure investing as countries and corporations rush for “energy independence”. Natural gas and clean energy will play a significant role immediately. We also believe that we will see a global push towards “Energy Independence” and not just from The European Union. The winds of change are here and here to stay.

Thank you for entrusting us with your money. We truly appreciate your support, and we look forward to continuing to help you achieve your investment goals.

Sincerely,

Jerry V. Swank
Chairman

The information provided herein represents the opinion of the Fund’s portfolio managers and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice. The opinions expressed are as of the date of this report and are subject to change.

The information in this report is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any market, sector, industry, security or the Fund itself. Statements of fact are from sources considered reliable, but the Fund makes no representation or warranty as to their completeness or accuracy. Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for a complete list of Fund holdings.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return, net asset value and common share market price will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Since the Fund is a closed-end management investment company, shares of the Fund may trade at a discount or premium from net asset value. This characteristic is separate and distinct from the risk that net asset value could decrease as a result of investment activities and may be a greater risk to investors expecting to sell their shares after a short time. The Fund cannot predict whether shares will trade at, above or below net asset value. The Fund should not be viewed as a vehicle for trading purposes. It is designed primarily for risk-tolerant long-term investors.

2

An investment in the Fund involves risks. Leverage creates risks which may adversely affect returns, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of the Fund’s common shares. The Fund is nondiversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund.

The Fund invests in infrastructure companies, which may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Sustainable infrastructure investments are subject to certain additional risks including high dependency upon on government policies that support renewable power generation and enhance the economic viability of owning renewable electric generation assets; adverse impacts from the reduction or discontinuation of tax benefits and other similar subsidies that benefit sustainable infrastructure companies; dependency on suitable weather condition and risk of damage to components used in the generation of renewable energy by severe weather; adverse changes and volatility in the wholesale market price for electricity in the markets served; the use of newly developed, less proven, technologies and the risk of failure of new technology to perform as anticipated; and dependence on a limited number of suppliers of system components and the occurrence of shortages, delays or component price changes. There is a risk that regulations that provide incentives for renewable energy could change or expire in a manner that adversely impacts the market for sustainable infrastructure companies generally. Technology and communications infrastructure investments are subject to certain additional risks including rapidly changing technologies and existing product obsolescence; short product life cycles; fierce competition; high research and development costs; aggressive pricing and reduced profit margins; the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections; cyclical market patterns; evolving industry standards; frequent new product introductions and new market entrants; cyber security risks that include, among other things, theft, unauthorized monitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential and highly restricted data, denial of service attacks, unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the information infrastructure companies use, or operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems, potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs and/or additional compliance costs.

The Fund incurs operating expenses, including advisory fees, as well as leverage costs. Investment returns for the Fund are shown net of fees and expenses.

Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for a complete list of Fund holdings.

The Cushing^® NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

May 31, 2022

1. Organization

The Cushing^® NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (formerly, The Cushing^® Renaissance Fund) (the “Fund”) was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on November 16, 2010, and is registered as a diversified, closed- end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund is managed by Cushing^® Asset Management, LP (“Adviser”). The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high total return with an emphasis on current income. The Fund commenced operations on September 25, 2012. The Fund’s shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SZC.”

2. Significant Accounting Policies

A. Use of Estimates

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies, consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of the financial statements. The Fund is considered an investment company and accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Investment Valuation

The Fund uses the following valuation methods to determine fair value as either fair value for investments for which market quotations are available, or if not available, the fair value, as determined in good faith pursuant to such policies and procedures as may be approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”) from time to time. The valuation of the portfolio securities of the Fund currently includes the following processes:

(i) The market value of each security listed or traded on any recognized securities exchange or automated quotation system will be the last reported sale price at the relevant valuation date on the composite tape or on the principal exchange on which such security is traded except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market^®, NASDAQ Global Select Market^® and the NASDAQ Capital Market^® exchanges (collectively, “NASDAQ”). Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. If no sale is reported on that date, the closing price from the prior day may be used.

(ii) Listed options on debt securities are valued at the last sale price, or if there are no trades for the day, the mean of the bid price and the ask price. Unlisted options on debt or equity securities are valued based upon their composite bid prices if held long, or their composite ask prices if held short. Futures are valued at the settlement price. Premiums for the sale of options written by the Fund will be included in the assets of the Fund, and the market value of such options will be included as a liability.

(iii) The Fund’s non-marketable investments will generally be valued in such manner as the Adviser determines in good faith to reflect their fair values under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees. The pricing of all assets that are fair valued in this manner will be subsequently reported to and ratified by the Board of Trustees.

17

(iv) An equity security of a publicly traded company acquired in a private placement transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), is subject to restrictions on resale that can affect the security’s liquidity and fair value. If such a security is convertible into publicly traded common shares, the security generally will be valued at the common share market price adjusted by a percentage discount due to the restrictions and categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

To the extent that such securities are convertible or otherwise become freely tradable within a time frame that may be reasonably determined, an amortization schedule may be used to determine the discount. If the security has characteristics that are dissimilar to the class of security that trades on the open market, the security will generally be valued and categorized as Level 3.

The Fund may engage in short sale transactions. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount, if any, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the fair value of the short positions. Subsequent fluctuations in market prices of securities sold short may require purchasing the securities at prices which may differ from the fair value reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized under the termination of a short sale. The Fund is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially more than the last quoted price. The Fund is liable for any distributions and dividends (collectively referred to as “Distributions”) paid on securities sold short and such amounts, if any, would be reflected as Distribution expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund’s obligation to replace the borrowed security will be secured by collateral deposited with the broker-dealer. The Fund also will be required to segregate similar collateral to the extent, if any, necessary so that the value of both collateral amounts in the aggregate is at all times equal to at least 100% of the current fair value of the securities sold short.

C. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on a specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Distributions are recorded on the ex- dividend date. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital. The Fund records investment income on the ex-date of the distributions. For financial statement purposes, the Fund uses return of capital and income estimates to allocate the distribution income received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Fund.

The Fund estimates the allocation of investment income and return of capital for the distributions received from its portfolio investments within the Statement of Operations. For the periods ended May 31, 2022, the Fund has estimated approximately 80% of the distributions from its portfolio investments to be return of capital.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

D. Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of Distributions to common shareholders made during the period may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, the Fund’s Distributions were 100%, or

18

$6,656,226, return of capital.¹ For Federal income tax purposes, the distribution of short-term capital gains is treated as ordinary income Distributions. In addition, on an annual basis, the Fund may distribute additional capital gains in the last calendar quarter, if necessary, to meet minimum distribution requirements and thus avoid being subject to excise taxes. The final character of Distributions paid for the period ended May 31, 2022 will be determined in early 2023.

E. Federal Income Taxation

The Fund intends to qualify each year for special tax treatment afforded to a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”). In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must, among other things, satisfy income, asset diversification and distribution requirements. As long as it so qualifies, the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it distributes annually its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and the excess of net short- term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) and its “net capital gain” (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss). The Fund intends to distribute at least annually substantially all of such income and gain. If the Fund retains any investment company taxable income or net capital gain, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the retained amount at regular corporate tax rates. In addition, if the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of its income and gains at regular corporate tax rates.

The Fund recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more-likely- than-not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax benefits resulting from such a position are measured as the amount that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood on a cumulative basis to be sustained on examination.

F. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Fund considers all highly liquid investments purchased with initial maturity equal to or less than three months to be cash equivalents.

G. Cash Flow Information

The Fund makes Distributions from investments, which include the amount received as cash distributions from MLPs, common stock dividends and interest payments. These activities are reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, and additional information on cash receipts and payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows.

H. Indemnification

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under such indemnification arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred and may not occur. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

I. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Fund provides disclosure regarding derivatives and hedging activity to allow investors to understand how and why the Fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect the Fund’s results of operations and financial position.

¹ For the period ended May 31, 2022, the Fund’s distributions are expected to be 28%, or $946,656, ordinary income, and 72% or $2,381,457, return of capital.

19

The Fund occasionally purchases and sells (“writes”) put and call equity options as a source of potential protection against a broad market decline. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Options are settled for cash.

Purchased Options — Premiums paid by the Fund for purchased options are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the fair value of the option and any change in fair value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for purchased options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain/loss or cost basis of the security.

Written Options — Premiums received by the Fund for written options are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the fair value of the written option and any change in fair value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. Premiums received from written options that expire are treated as realized gains. The Fund records a realized gain or loss on written options based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Put options written subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Fund is not subject to credit risk on written options as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

The Fund has adopted the disclosure provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s use of and accounting for derivative instruments and the effect of derivative instruments on the Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Tabular disclosure regarding derivative fair value and gain/ loss by contract type (e.g., interest rate contracts, foreign exchange contracts, credit contracts, etc.) is required and derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 must be disclosed separately from those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Even though the Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to achieve an economic hedge, the Fund’s derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 because investment companies account for their derivatives at fair value and record any changes in fair value in current period earnings.

There were no transactions in purchased options during the period ended May 31, 2022.

The average monthly fair value of written options during the period ended May 31, 2022 was $114,518.

The effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations for the period ended May 31, 2022:

J. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in the ASU provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank- offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The ASU is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this ASU.

3. Concentrations of Risk

The Fund will pursue its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of equity and debt securities of infrastructure companies, including energy infrastructure companies, industrial infrastructure companies, sustainable infrastructure companies and technology and communication infrastructure companies. Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Infrastructure companies may also be affected by or subject to difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets; inexperience with and potential losses resulting from a developing de-regulatory environment; costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental and other regulations; regulation or adverse actions by various government authorities; government regulation of rates charged to customers; service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps; the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards; technological innovations that may render existing plants, equipment or products obsolete; and general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure assets.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.

4. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

The Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser a fee payable at the end of each calendar month, at an annual rate equal to 1.25% of the average weekly value of the Fund’s Managed Assets during such month for the services and facilities provided by the Adviser of the Fund. Effective on May 26, 2022, the Fund’s

21

Board of Trustees approved a waiver of the advisory fees to be paid to the Adviser in the amount of 0.25% of the Fund’s Managed Assets. The Adviser earned $1,160,314 and waived $232,063 in advisory fees for the period ended May 31, 2022. The Adviser will not recoup any of the waived expenses from the Fund.

The Fund has engaged U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, d/b/a U.S. Bancorp Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”) to serve as the Fund’s administrator. The Fund pays the administrator a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.09% of the first $100,000,000 of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.07% on the next $200,000,000 of average daily net assets and 0.04% on the balance of the Fund’s average daily net assets, with a minimum annual fee of $70,000.

Fund Services serves as the Fund’s transfer agent, dividend paying agent, and agent for the automatic dividend reinvestment plan.

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Fund’s custodian. The Fund pays the custodian a monthly fee computed at an annual rate of 0.004% of the Fund’s average daily market value, with a minimum annual fee of $4,800.

Fees paid to trustees for their services to the Fund are reflected as Trustees’ fees on the Statement of Operations.

5. Income Taxes

It is the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the IRC and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in its financial statements.

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains or losses on investments. Permanent book and tax basis differences resulted in the reclassifications of $2,266,740 to additional paid in capital and $2,266,740 from accumulated net losses.

The following information is provided on a tax basis as of November 30, 2021:

Cost of investments	$	185,180,844
Gross unrealized appreciation		28,400,936
Gross unrealized depreciation		(24,900,424	)
Net unrealized appreciation		3,500,512
Undistributed ordinary income		—
Undistributed long-term gains		—
Other temporary differences		(17,282,832	)
Accumulated net losses	$	(13,782,320	)

The Fund utilized $29,293,315 of capital loss carryforward during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. As of November 30, 2021, for federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforward is comprised of short-term capital loss of $1,439,532 and long-term capital loss of $14,348,388.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on U.S. tax returns and state tax returns filed since inception of the Fund. No income tax returns are currently under examination. All tax years beginning with November 30, 2018 remain subject to examination by the tax authorities in the United States. Due to the nature of the Fund’s investments, the Fund may be required to file income tax returns in several states. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

● Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

9. Borrowing Facilities

The Fund maintains a margin account arrangement with Scotiabank^™. The interest rate charged on margin borrowing is tied to the cost of funds for Scotiabank^™ (which is LIBOR plus 1.00%). Proceeds from the margin account arrangement are used to execute the Fund’s investment objective.

The average principal balance and interest rate for the period during which the credit facilities were utilized during the period ended May 31, 2022 was $49,912,000 and 1.39%, respectively. On May 31, 2022, the principal balance outstanding was $49,210,000 and prepaid interest expense was $78,182.

10. Subsequent Events

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from the Fund’s historical experience and its present expectations or projections indicated in any forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, changes in economic and political conditions; regulatory and legal changes; energy industry risk; leverage risk; valuation risk; interest rate risk; tax risk; and other risks discussed in the Fund’s filings with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Fund undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward- looking statements made herein. There is no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be attained.

Proxy Voting Policies

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities owned by the Fund and information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to the portfolio of securities during the 12-month period ended June 30 are available to shareholders without charge, upon request by calling the Fund toll-free at (800) 236-4424 and on the Fund’s website at www.cushingcef. com.

Portfolio Turnover

The portfolio turnover rate for the period ended May 31, 2022 was 53.84%. Portfolio turnover may vary greatly from period to period. The Fund does not consider portfolio turnover rate a limiting factor in the Adviser’s execution of investment decisions, and the Fund may utilize investment and trading strategies that may involve high portfolio turnover. A higher portfolio turnover rate results in correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses that are borne by the Fund.

Certifications

Distribution and Dividend Reinvestment Plan

How the Plan Works

Unless the registered owner of common shares elects to receive cash by contacting the Plan Agent, all distributions and dividends (collectively referred to in this section as “dividends”) declared for your common shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, d/b/a U.S. Bancorp Global Fund Services (the “Plan Agent”), agent for stockholders in administering the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Fund. The Plan Agent will open an account for each common stockholder under the Plan in the same name in which such common stockholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly-issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“open-market purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere.

If, on the payment date for any dividend, the market price per common share plus per share fees (which include any brokerage commissions the Plan Agent is required to pay) is greater than the net asset value per common share, the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued common shares, including fractions, on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per common share is greater than the market value per common share plus per share fees, the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

Participation in the Plan

If a registered owner of common shares elects not to participate in the Plan, you will receive all dividends in cash paid by check mailed directly to you (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by sending written or telephonic instructions to the Plan Agent, as dividend paying agent. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by contacting the Plan Agent before the dividend record date; otherwise, such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may reinvest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for you.

Plan Fees

There will be no per share fees with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

Tax Implications

The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Accordingly, any taxable dividend received by a participant that is reinvested in additional common shares will be subject to federal (and possibly state and local) income tax even though such participant will not receive a corresponding amount of cash with which to pay such taxes.

26

The Cushing^® NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (formerly, The Cushing^® Renaissance Fund)

Board Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited)

May 31, 2022

On May 27, 2021, the Board of Trustees (members of which are referred to collectively as the “Trustees”) of the Fund met in person to discuss, among other things, the approval of the Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Cushing^® Asset Management, LP (the “Adviser”) and the Fund.

Activities and Composition of the Board

The Board of Trustees is comprised of four Trustees, three of whom are not “interested persons,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”). The Trustees are responsible for oversight of the operations of the Fund and performs the various duties imposed by the 1940 Act on the trustees of investment companies. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. Prior to its consideration of the Agreement, the Trustees received and reviewed information provided by the Adviser. The Trustees also received and reviewed information responsive to requests from independent counsel to assist it in its consideration of the Agreement. Before the Trustees voted on the approval of the Agreement, the Independent Trustees met with independent legal counsel during executive session and discussed the Agreement and related information.

Consideration of Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement, including the Adviser’s Form ADV and other background materials supplied by the Adviser.

The Board reviewed and considered the Adviser’s investment advisory personnel, its history, and the amount of assets currently under management by the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the research and decision-making processes used by the Adviser, including the methods adopted to seek to achieve compliance with the investment objectives, strategies, policies, and restrictions of the Fund.

The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s management in connection with the Fund, including reviewing the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the management team members primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of the Fund’s actual and potential investments.

The Board also reviewed certain of the Adviser’s policies and procedures, including the Adviser’s Code of Ethics.

The Board determined that the nature, extent and quality of services to be rendered by the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement were adequate.

Consideration of Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services

The Board considered the information they received comparing the Fund’s contractual annual advisory fee and overall expenses, to the extent available, with a peer group of competitor closed-end funds determined by FUSE Research Network LLC (“FUSE”). The Board discussed the funds contained in the peer groups and universes and the general methodology used by FUSE in preparing its report. The Board noted that the methodology used by FUSE in connection with the presentation of the contractual advisory fee information was net of the Fund’s 0.25% advisory fee waiver.

The Board determined that the peer group was very small, consisting of only six funds, and that the Fund’s total net expense ratio of 1.87% was the most expensive fund in its peer group, while its contractual advisory fee of 1.25%, as reduced to 1.00% to account for the 0.25% contractual advisory fee waiver, was the second least expensive fund in its peer group.

28

Consideration of Investment Performance

The Board noted that it regularly reviews the performance of the Fund throughout the year. The Board reviewed performance information provided by FUSE for periods ending February 28, 2022, comparing the performance of the Fund against its universe over several time horizons, and using different performance metrics, including but not limited to the comparative performance of the in terms of net asset value (NAV) and market price.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s peer group was very small, consisting of only five funds (including the Fund) for the one-year period and three funds (including the Fund) for the three- and five-year periods and the period since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees determined that, among the funds in the peer group, the Fund’s performance based on NAV was the lowest performing fund for all periods, and based on market price the Fund was the second lowest performing fund over the one-year period, and the lowest performing fund over each other period.

The Board considered the changes in the Fund’s performance rankings since the prior Advisory Agreement renewal in 2021 and the various factors causing such a rapid change in Fund performance, including the Fund’s particular investment strategies and size. The Trustees also considered the third-party performance data for the Fund provided in connection with the previous Advisory Agreement renewal.

Consideration of Comparable Accounts

The Board reviewed the other accounts and investment vehicles managed by the Adviser and discussed the similarities and differences between these accounts and the Fund.

The Board determined that, bearing in mind the limitations of comparing different types of managed accounts and the different levels of service typically associated with such accounts, the fee structures applicable to the Adviser’s other clients employing a comparable strategy to the Fund was not indicative of any unreasonableness with respect to the advisory fees proposed to be payable by the Fund.

Consideration of Profitability

The Board received and considered a profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser, using a template developed in consultation with counsel to the Independent Trustees, that set forth the fees payable by the Fund under the Agreement and the expenses incurred by the Adviser in connection with the operation of the Fund. The Board used this analysis to evaluate the fairness of the profits realized and anticipated to be realized by the Adviser with respect to the Fund.

The Board noted that the Fund was profitable to the Adviser, both before and after distribution expenses. The Board determined that, with respect to the Fund, the profit to the Adviser was not unreasonable.

Consideration of Economies of Scale

The Board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund had been or would be passed along to the shareholders under the Agreement. The Board determined there were no material economies of scale accruing to the Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund.

Consideration of Other Benefits

The Board reviewed and considered any other incidental benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, including but not limited to soft dollar arrangements. The Board determined there were no material incidental benefits accruing to the Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund.

Conclusion

In approving the Advisory Agreement and the fees charged under the Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that no single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board to be determinative as the principal factor in whether to approve the Advisory Agreement. The summary set out above describes the most important factors, but not all matters, considered by the Board in coming to its decision regarding the Advisory

29

Agreement. On the basis of such information as the Board considered necessary to the exercise of its reasonable business judgment and its evaluation of all of the factors described above, and after much discussion, the Board concluded that each factor they considered, in the context of all of the other factors they considered, favored approval of the Advisory Agreement. It was noted that it was the judgment of the Board that approval of the Advisory Agreement was consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
