Master Limited Partnerships for Your Portfolio: Three Key Questions and Answers

One point of interest is that NMM, which I hold, has distributions which are only 35.89% return of capital, whereas those from EPD, which I also own, are 90% returns of capital, as are those from TPP, which I also own and which is being acquired by EDP. I also own LINN and CPNO and ETP and ETE, which give rise to distributions which are 100% returns of capital, and NS and INRGY the distributions from which are 80% returns of capital. All are solid payers. I also own KYE in a qualified plan. It yields over 13% at my cost and since it is in a qualified plan the fact that distributions are in part a return of capital (as I recall about 65%) is not significant to me.
