Eight Non-Oil & Gas MLP Recommendations [View article]
FEN has very a high expense ratio. According to ETF connect the total expenses are over 5%. Also the fund is highly leveraged. You might consider a larger yet similar fund with much lower expenses like KYE or KYN
FEN Common Shares Management Fees 2.74% Other Expenses 2.62% Total 5.36%
KYE Common Shares Management Fees 1.90% Other Expenses 0.00% Total 1.90%
I am not recommending either, but the expenses are so high on FEN and it is much smaller. Others are TYY and TYG which also are larger and have lower overhead. I do like these for the long run, but beware that they are ALL close to breaching loan covenants on their leverage which could cause cessation of dividend payments for a period of time.
