As an investment category, Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) have long been popular with investors who want to generate tax-advantaged income from their investments. MLPs are typically involved in the transportation, processing, and storage of energy commodities and earn fees for providing these services. As partnerships, MLPs do not pay federal taxes at the entity level, which has allowed them to distribute more of their cash flows to investors. MLPs tend to provide generous distributions (dividends), which are largely tax-deferred. Below are additional resources for learning about MLP investing.
