Rignet, Inc. (RNET) also contributed to the positive performance of the Fund during the period. RigNet is the largest provider of communications infrastructure to remote locations for the oil and gas industry. We believe the company has a strong competitive advantage as a result of its scale, quality of service, and customer relationships. RigNet is positioned to benefit from an increase in oil and gas production in more remote locations, especially deepwater projects.
