Alerian MLP Is A Great Option For A Lazy Investor (Rating Upgrade)

Summary

• Alerian MLP ETF is a nearly $9 billion energy infrastructure MLP fund, outperforming the market and offering a convenient investment option.
• The fund's top holdings, including Enterprise Products Partners and MPLX, constitute almost 60% of assets, providing high single-digit dividend yields.
• Despite a 0.85% management fee, the ETF simplifies tax complexities, avoiding K1 forms and offering an 8% corporate dividend yield.
• The main AMLP risk is the high fees potentially impacting long-term returns, but the convenience may justify the cost for many investors.
