Master Limited Partnership ETFs: AMLP vs. MLPX Faceoff on Fees, Returns, and Yield
Overview
The Alerian MLP ETF (NYSEMKT:AMLP) provides high dividend yields through a concentrated midstream portfolio, while the Global X - MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF (NYSEMKT:MLPX) offers lower costs and broader energy infrastructure exposure.
Energy infrastructure investments often focus on master limited partnerships (MLPs) that transport and store oil and gas. While AMLP concentrates specifically on these tax-advantaged structures, MLPX blends MLPs with general energy infrastructure corporations, resulting in distinct risk-reward profiles and tax considerations for income-seeking investors.
