How To Avoid The Worst Sector ETFs For Q1 2025
ETF issuance is profitable for Wall Street, leading to an oversupply of ETFs not necessarily in investors' best interests. We leverage our data to identify three red flags you can use to avoid the worst ETFs. Invest in ETFs with total annual costs below 0.53% to ensure you are paying average or below-average fees.
AMZA: Quiet Market Leadership Continues, Stick With It In 2025
Stocks have surged since mid-August 2024, with the S&P 500 up over 12%, driven by Financials, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. I reiterate a buy rating on the InfraCap MLP ETF due to its compelling valuation and strong 29% total return since August 2024. AMZA offers high current income with a 6-7% yield, modest leverage, and a focus on midstream MLPs, despite some liquidity concerns.
AMZA: Long-Term Value Still Questionable
InfraCap MLP ETF's long-term performance is poor, with a -81% share price drop since inception and a -19% total return despite dividend reinvestment. The fund's distribution history is concerning, with payouts dropping from $20.30 per share in 2015 to $3.32 currently, a 95% decline after inflation. MLP funds generally perform poorly long term due to cyclical industry challenges and high distribution rates, leaving little room for growth during downturns.
