Midstream Energy Infrastructure ETF AMLP Offers 7.6% Yield Amid Rising Natural Gas Prices

The Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) offers a 7.6% yield and has grown distributions 8.7% annually over five years to $3.93 per share. However, its C-corporation structure creates internal tax drag, reducing the yield compared to direct MLP ownership. Energy Transfer and Enterprise Products Partners are top holdings with significant natural gas exposure, benefiting from recent price spikes. The fund has returned 12.35% year-to-date and 175.98% over five years.
