MLP & Income Portfolio
Fact Card
Over the last several years, master limited partnerships (MLPs) have become an important part of certain companies' capital structure and their ability to raise capital. This growing asset class has raised a record amount of capital for three straight years and is on track to do the same this year. Energy MLPs currently account for about 80% of MLPs, up from 37% in 1990.1
Invesco Unit Trusts now offers the MLP & Income Portfolio, featuring an income and growth strategy that consists of energy MLPs and closed-end fund MLPs. The individual MLPs have US-based operations in the transport and storage of oil, natural gas and other natural resources.
Energy MLPs
You may want to consider adding a UIT with energy MLP exposure to your overall investment portfolio because they:
- Offer tax-advantaged income.
- Have a history of distribution growth to boost total return and potentially offer a level of protection against rising inflation.
- Offer a stable revenue stream — most energy MLPs are backed by long-term contracts of up to 20 years with relatively predictable cash streams.2
- Have the potential to benefit from improved and expanded infrastructure needs resulting from rising energy demand.
- Offer diversification — MLP returns have historically had significantly low correlations to the returns of equities, fixed income and commodities, including natural gas and crude oil prices.3
Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of loss.
