The Global X MLP ETF holds 20 midstream companies and offers a 7.4% yield, providing attractive income compared to the U.S. 10-year Treasury (4.13%). Energy MLPs focus on midstream pipeline and storage assets with fee-for-service contracts, offering less volatile and tax-advantaged income. The MLPA ETF does not issue a K-1 tax form, so investors are at least getting some tax-prep relief in return for the relatively stiff 0.45% expense fee.

MLPA has some relatively defensive characteristics compared to the broader Energy sector. The ETF offers exposure to midstream pipelines with strong momentum trends and a solid valuation today, even after a near 100% total return in the past three years. MLPA has a moderate size, A- ETF Grade, and potential for dividend increases as 2024 presses on.
