Why High-Yield MLPs Like This One Have a Bright Future

[ETF Daily News]( August 2nd, 2023 SPONSORED AD [Why 2023 Could Kick Off a "Cash Frenzy" in Stocks]( Many investors expect a market recovery in 2023. But the analyst who called the Lehman Collapse says to expect a "Cash Frenzy" instead. [Details here.]( [Why High-Yield MLPs Like This One Have a Bright Future]( Over the last decade, the master limited partnership (MLP) sector has undergone a deep, multi-year downturn and then a massive recovery. After all that volatility, you might wonder if the sector’s high yields are worth it. Let me show you where I see MLPs going from here… The Downturn From mid-2014 until January 2016, crude oil crashed from around $100 per barrel to less than $30. The Alerian MLP Index dropped by more than 60% during the same period. The crash blew up the MLP business model of growth, paid for with new debt and equity.

From April 1, 2020, through July 26, 2023, AMZA posted a total return of 311%, giving a 53.1% average annual return. If dividends were reinvested, the total return jumps to an annual rate of 59.6%, or a total return of 372%.
