For investors interested in generating an income stream in retirement, an investment in midstream energy assets offers a relatively high yield with limited downside risk. My personal portfolio includes midstream energy assets, which I believe income investors should consider adding to their portfolios. The midstream energy sector has shown resilience and outperformed the broader energy sector, with strong asset utilization and positive free cash flow generation.

In the last Equity CEF Performances update on December 8th, I said we were headed for a boom-or-bust this week with CPI, PPI and the Federal Reserve decision on tap. And BOOM it was, after a more dovish Fed and Jerome Powell surprised everyone on Wednesday and started forecasting rate cuts next year in their dot plot plans. Was this political or do they see something the markets don't see in 2024? Who knows, but for now, it is bullish until we get into next year and actually see.

NXG Cushing Midstream Energy Fund is offering a transferable 1-for-3 rights offering, allowing investors to subscribe for new shares at a discount. The subscription price will be determined based on a formula that is the higher of 92.5% of the average closing market price or 88% of NAV. If SRV's discount drops below -12% as the offering expires, investors should not subscribe as it would be cheaper to buy new shares on the open market.

The SRV CEF's recent performance has been disappointing, but that may be due to its previously high share price. The fund focuses on midstream companies, which offer stability and high dividend yields.

I recommend several high-yield income-oriented investments, including business development companies (BDCs), real estate investment trusts (REITs), and a closed-end fund (CEF) that holds midstream assets or master limited partnerships (MLPs). Regulated investment companies (RICs) offer high-yield distributions due to tax laws that regulate them and require them to distribute at least 90% of net income to shareholders. I provide specific recommendations for BDCs, REITs, and CEFs, including Trinity Capital, FS KKR Capital, Cion Investment Corp., and others that yield 12% or more annually.
