Midstream energy is back in the spotlight as Middle East supply risk reroutes capital toward pipeline cash flows, and two ETFs dominate the conversation: the Alerian MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:AMLP) and the Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF (NYSEARCA:MLPX).
Midstream energy firms—those companies overseeing the transportation, storage, and some processing of oil and gas—remain an essential but often overlooked part of the energy ecosystem. Because these companies often operate like toll roads, in that they get paid whenever energy moves through their system, they can be vital sources of stability for investors.
The Alerian MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:AMLP) is having one of its best years in a decade.
