James C. Baker, a director at Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (NYSE: KYN), reported a direct purchase of 25,000 common shares on April 8, 2026. The shares were acquired at $13.67 apiece, bringing the total outlay for this transaction to $341,750.
The director's purchase occurred while the fund's shares were trading near $13.87, and after a year that saw the stock deliver a 44.88% total return. Baker's activity followed an in-kind distribution he received the prior day - on April 7, 2026 - when Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. made an in-kind distribution that resulted in Baker receiving 16,979 shares. That distribution was priced at $14.2139 per share.
Combining the April 7 distribution with the April 8 purchase, Baker now directly owns 978,019 shares of Kayne Anderson Energy Infrastructure Fund. The filing does not provide further details on any plans for additional purchases or dispositions beyond these reported transactions.
