The listed ETNs (debt securities backed by the credit of the underwriting bank) and ETFs attempt to track the performance of MLP indices
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are U.S.-based publicly traded partnerships, providing and managing resources such as oil and gas pipelines in the energy industry, and strictly dependent on the volume pumped through their network
As investment vehicles, MLPs have benefited from tax advantages while retaining the unusual right to carry on an actual business, investing mostly in energy related infrastructure. These advantages have been curtailed as of Jan. 1, '18
With the infrastructure mostly installed in the US, it stands to reason the shale oil boom (or reversal of fortune) will be driving MLP business when oil prices reach break-even for shale producers
