  • Midstream MLPs

Cash flows of midstream MLPs such as pipelines and storage facilities have historically been less correlated to energy prices

Solactive US Energy Infrastructure MLP Index

The Index aims to track the performance of a basket of master limited partnerships (‘MLPs’) in the midstream segment of the US energy infrastructure market.

The Index is comprised of Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) that are publicly traded on US stock exchanges that derive the majority of their revenues from owning and operating assets used in energy logistics, including: pipelines, storage facilities and other assets used for transporting, storing, gathering, and processing natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil and/or refined products.

An MLP is only eligible for inclusion in the Index if it: (1) is of a sufficient size (determined by reference to the total market value of its units); (2) is sufficiently “liquid” (a measure of how actively its units are traded on a daily basis); and (3) makes at least one “distribution” payment to investors each year (similar to a dividend paid by a company). The eligible MLPs are then ranked according to their (1) “forward looking distribution yield” (i.e. the projected value of their future distributions) and (2) “distribution stability” (i.e. how consistent their distributions are in terms of value). The top 25 ranking MLPs are then selected for inclusion in the Index and are weighted equally.

      Key risks

      The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up. You may not get back the amount you originally invested.

      Past performance is not a guide to the future.

      An investment in the ETF may expose an investor to the risks associated with interests in MLPs. For certain MLPs, the general partner (GP) and limited partnership (LP) are controlled and run by the same management teams. Some potential areas of conflict include (1) the price at which the MLP is acquiring assets from the GP, (2) the GP aggressively increasing the distribution to achieve the 50%/50% split level instead of managing distribution growth to maximize the long-term value of the underlying MLP, (3) the potential for management to place the interests of the parent corporation or the GP above the interests of the LP holders, and (4) underlying MLP equity issuances to fund growth initiatives benefit the GP regardless of whether the acquisition or project is accretive.

      While there is no legislation currently aimed at MLPs, a removal or alteration of MLPs' tax treatment could negatively affect performance. Further, legislation aimed at the oil and gas industry could affect MLPs. In addition, in the event the ETF gains exposure to the Index through direct acquisition of the components of the Index, there may be certain withholding tax implications on capital gains and /or income which may affect the ability for the ETF to track the Index accurately.

      If a swap counterparty is no longer willing or able to continue entering into swaps with the ETF, the ETF will not be able to continue tracking the Index.

      MLPs are highly reliant on equity and debt markets to fund growth. Because MLPs pay out the majority of their cash to holders, they must continually access the debt and equity markets to finance growth. If MLPs were unable to access these markets or could not access these markets on favourable terms, this could affect price performance and inhibit long-term distribution growth.

      Some MLPs have significant exposure to commodity price fluctuations, including partnerships involved in oil and gas production, gathering and processing, and coal. In addition, MLP unit prices tend to move with a potential high correlation to commodity prices.

      MLPs have generally underperformed during periods of rapidly rising interest rates. Thus, during periods when investors anticipate rapidly rising rates in the future or if rates were to rise faster than expected, this could affect performance.

      MLPs are regulated across a number of industries. Interstate pipelines in the US are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Coal is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country, being subject to regulation by federal, state, and local authorities in the US. A change in the regulation of hydraulic fracking could reduce drilling activity and infrastructure needs. Any number of regulatory hurdles could affect MLPs' ability to grow.
