InfraCap MLP ETF's long-term performance is poor, with a -81% share price drop since inception and a -19% total return despite dividend reinvestment. The fund's distribution history is concerning, with payouts dropping from $20.30 per share in 2015 to $3.32 currently, a 95% decline after inflation. MLP funds generally perform poorly long term due to cyclical industry challenges and high distribution rates, leaving little room for growth during downturns.

InfraCap MLP ETF has a high expense ratio, but it offers higher yields compared to other ETFs, making it attractive for yield-seeking investors. AMZA is an actively managed ETF that uses leverage to potentially enhance returns, and its management team has a track record of outperforming other MLP-focused ETFs. The Fund's portfolio includes leading MLPs in the energy infrastructure sector, such as MPLX LP, Plains All American Pipeline, and Energy Transfer, which contribute to its strong performance.

AMZA: This High Yield MLP-Focused ETF Is Worth Considering (Rating Upgrade)

The energy sector is barely positive YTD, utilities down 10%, but niche MLP fund AMZA outperforms. InfraCap MLP ETF uses leverage and fundamental analysis to target strong total returns. AMZA has high exposure to value style, low P/E ratio, and high dividend yield, but a concentrated portfolio and poor liquidity pose risks.

InfraCap MLP ETF (NYSE Arca: AMZA) Tax Update

AMZA is an energy ETF with an income focus, investing in midstream energy MLPs and utilizing leverage. The ETF has a high dividend yield and stable income, but its expense ratio of 1.64% is steep compared to cheaper peers like MLPA. Due to the pending recession, I expect oil prices to go down before they go up, so I rate AMZA a Hold.

AMZA: An Energy ETF Worth Waiting For

AMZA has a long track record of underperforming in terms of both share price, total return, and dividend growth. We can't blame this on the industry alone because most MLP stocks are performing much better.
