MLPX Factset Analytics Insight
MLPX's seemingly vanilla structure comes with important trade-offs on how it plays the space. Unlike most existing MLP ETPs, MLPX is structured as a classic 1940 Act fund as opposed to a C-corporation or ETN. While this eliminates the downsides of the other structures, it also means the fund offers diluted exposure to MLPs. Since MLPX must be RIC compliant, it may only allocate 25% of its portfolio to MLPs at rebalance, with the rest going to infrastructure firms. (One of the firms is ex-MLP heavyweight, Kinder Morgan Inc, a stock that pure play MLP ETPs don't hold.) Yield is lower, since the diluted structure tamps down cash flows. Our analysis shows fairly strong alignment to pure-play daily MLP returns, for better or worse. MLPX is easy to trade: liquidity is strong and spreads are moderate, though traders will probably still want to use limit orders here. Larger investors will find straightforward execution on block trades. While MLPX charges an attractive fee, it doesn't provide the kind of tight tracking that its structure would seem to imply, and actual holding costs are liable to be far higher.
