06 Jun MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP – MORE GOING ON THAN OIL PRICE

Master limited partnerships (MLP) appear to be a natural way to invest

in the changing energy landscape. MLPs are exclusively focused on energy

infrastructure in the United States and Canada. North American energy production

has become a dominant factor in the price of oil and in the North American drive

to be energy independent. Yet, the pricing and performance of MLPs can be

complicated, influenced by systemic factors, such as the prices of oil and gas,

interest rates, and movement in the equity markets. MLPs are also influenced

by the degree of success of each individual partnership, in the same way that

traditional stocks’ performances are determined by both market and individual

factors. Despite recent performance, we believe that the sector may still represent

a good long-term investment option to potentially profit from increased North

American energy production.
