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: Pipeline Income For The Yield Hungry Energy Investor

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.

First Trust North American Energy Infrastructure Fund

Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF

Many investors have recently looked to VettaFi's Head-To-Head ETF Comparison Tool to compare energy infrastructure ETFs: the Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) and the First Trust North American Energy Infrastructure Fund (EMLP). While both funds offer exposure to the energy infrastructure space and boast similar tickers, the funds are very different.

How EMLP Stacks Up to Other Energy Infrastructure ETFs

Many investors are considering an allocation to an MLP ETF as the segment continues to offer generous income and compelling returns. The two largest MLP ETFs have important differences that investors should consider before investing in either fund.

Oil fell to four-month lows last week, a reminder that energy investing comes with risk, not just reward.  “OPEC+ production cuts were extended as expected, but incremental voluntary cuts from select countries are set to start unwinding in October,” explained Stacey Morris, head of energy research at VettaFi.

MLPA: 2 Out Of 3 Ain't Bad (Rating Upgrade)

Midstream ETFs have had a strong showing in 2023, with the segment poised to outperform the broader energy sector for the year. MLPs/midstream have been strengthened by their defensive qualities, M&A activity, and positive dividend growth this year.

How the 4 Largest Midstream ETFs Performed in 2023

MLPs have a history of providing generous income and compelling returns to investors. As investors look to add exposure to MLPs, it's important to understand the differences between the two largest MLP ETFs available to investors: the $7.1 billion Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) and the $1.4 billion Global X MLP ETF (MLPA).

Comparing the 2 Largest MLP ETFs: AMLP and MLPA

Breakeven inflation rates in the 5-10-year range have been rising despite weak oil prices. Morgan Stanley suggests that energy stocks and tax-favored MLPs perform well in this environment. The Global X MLP ETF remains a compelling buy with a strong valuation and resistance to rising market yields.

MLPA: A Perceived Beneficiary Of Rising Breakeven Inflation Rates

The dividend factor has been volatile, but high-dividend equities are catching a relative bid as market volatility returns. The Global X MLP ETF is upgraded to a buy due to its low valuation, high yield, and better price action compared to the broader market. MLPA has a focused portfolio with a low valuation and solid momentum, making it a favorable investment going into the end of the year.

MLPA: Now's The Time To Go Overweight, Improving Energy Momentum

Global X MLP ETF offers a less volatile way to invest in the energy sector with a yield of over 7%. MLPA holds US midstream MLPs and provides broad exposure to the entire midstream MLP industry. The ETF is a suitable investment for the current economic climate, as it provides lower volatility and income during a potential recession.

MLPA: An Energy ETF To Ride Out The Recession

High-yield stocks have been soft performers so far in 2023. I see MLPA featuring a low valuation, but would prefer to wait for the technicals to confirm a breakout.

MLPA: Compelling Valuation, Low Volatility, Waiting On A Breakout

MLPA is an ETF that focuses on the energy pipeline industry. This fund's 10-year track record is nothing special, but it might just be on its way to emerging as an appealing option in a rocky stock market.
