AMLP Factset Analytics Insight
AMLP is hugely popular, but like all MLP ETPs, it comes with caveats. Because traditional ETFs can only hold 25% of their portfolios in MLPs, AMLP is instead structured as a C-corporation to allow full allocation to MLPs. However, this structure introduces a layer of taxation that prevents it from passing through the full return of its underlying index. Therefore, AMLP provides diluted exposure to its MLPs, shown by a beta to its index that's typically close to 0.79 due to its 21% corporate tax rate. The benefit of this structure: Most distributions are tax-deferred, similar to the underlying MLPs and in contrast to ETNs. The fund's huge headline fee is a symptom of this structure, as the issuer must report recent deferred tax expenses as part of the fee. AMLP focuses on energy infrastructure, but its holdings still align well with our broad MLP benchmark. It typically leads all MLP ETPs in AUM and trading volume. If tax-deferred income and liquidity are paramount, and you're willing to live with the tax haircut dictated by the legal structure, AMLP is tough to beat.
