FYI: The investment landscape is filled with vehicles that can be considered alternative investments, and these include energy master limited partnerships, or “energy MLPs.” The first part of this two-part series will discuss the investment characteristics of energy MLPs, look at their unique tax treatment and explore whether these vehicles are alternative investments. In part two, I will discuss how investors can improve the efficiency of their portfolios by including energy MLPs as an allocation strategy.
