Oppenheimer issued a report as the US energy sector continues to grow and may become the world's top energy producer by 2015. The firm gives 5 potential benefits of investing in Master Limited Partnerships (MLP) and gaining access to this investment opportunity. 1. MLP's have outperformed the S&P 500 index in 10 out of the last 14 years. 2. MLP returns were positive in 5 of the last 7 periods of rising treasury rates. 3. A portion of MLP distributions may be classified as return of capital, unlike income from treasury securities and corporate bonds. 4. MLP's have experienced low correlations to commonly held asset classes. 5. Above average MLP valuations may be justifiable given the amount of estimated energy infrastructure spending. Overall with estimates of energy infrastructure spending ranging from $640 billion to $900 billion over the next 20 years, MLP's offer an attractive investment opportunity.
