What are MLPs? How do MLPs work? Master Limited PartnershipsMLP stands for Master Limited Partnership. MLPs are like REITs in the way they are structured for tax purposes. They pay no income tax, and instead pay out their income to their shareholders as dividends. To qualify as MLPs, they must generate 90% of their income from activities relating to real estate, natural resources (timber, mining, enery), or commodities. MLPs trade on the stock exchange just like shares of any other stock. One of the most popular MLP groups is pipelines. Below we list the leading MLP investments.
Pipeline MLPsHere is a list of the major pipeline MLPs, and their stock ticker symbol.
Most MLPs pay between a 4-7% dividend (distribution), so a lot of people hold them as income stocks. The pipeline companies in particular tend to have stable businesses that are not much affected by the underlying price of the gas or oil they transport.
