There are many exchange-traded products (ETPs) for investors looking to add MLP exposure to their portfolios. The first step in choosing a product is deciding between an exchange-traded fund (ETF) and an exchange-traded note (ETN).
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company has declared the quarterly coupon amount for the Alerian MLP Index ETN (AMJB), providing updated data on this energy infrastructure strategy. Announced yesterday, November 24, the coupon underscores the continued role of midstream Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) in income portfolios.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) have increasingly captured the attention of investors, thanks to their attractive yields and solid performance over the last few years.
SUMMARY MLP/midstream investment products can help investors access the MLP space without the potential headaches of a Schedule K-1. Products can mitigate some potential risks with midstream investing and help avoid Unrelated Business Taxable Income (UBTI) for tax-exempt organizations and retirement accounts.
Summary Oil prices have been plagued by demand concerns related to tariffs and recession risk, while OPEC+ surprised markets with higher production plans for May. Amid the weakness in oil, midstream/MLPs were more resilient than other energy subsectors given fee-based business models with stable cash flows and less commodity price exposure.
Summary There are two types of funds that own Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). Funds are delineated by their weighting to MLPs and their resulting tax treatment.
Investors seeking to access the energy infrastructure space through passively managed vehicles have a menu of options, including half a dozen passive ETFs. Beyond ETFs, investors may also consider exchange-traded notes (ETNs).
The Alerian MLP Index ETN offers exposure to high distributions from midstream MLPs with certain tax advantages over MLP ETFs, making it attractive for income-focused investors. Despite its volatility and underperformance compared to broad-market ETFs, AMJB's 6.2% yield is significantly higher than SPY's 1.23%, appealing for ongoing income. The positive outlook for midstream MLPs, supported by strong utilization rates and declining interest rates, suggests continued growth and higher distributions for AMJB.
Summary MLP yields of ~7% are backed by positive dividend trends and fee-based businesses that generate stable cash flows. Beyond income, MLPs provide diversification benefits, real asset exposure, and more defensive energy exposure.
