About the Index

The Index is a liquid, midstream-focused subset of the Alerian MLP Index comprised of 25 energy infrastructure MLPs. The Index, whose constituents generally earn the majority of their cash flow from the transportation and storage of energy commodities provides investors with a benchmark for the infrastructure component of this emerging asset class. The Index is calculated using a capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted methodology that results in greater diversification versus a pure market capitalization-weighted index.

MLPI offers:

• Exposure to a portfolio of 25 energy infrastructure MLPs through a single, exchange-traded security
• Income via quarterly coupons linked to cash distributions, if any, paid by the MLPs in the Index, less fees ¹
• No K-1s: the coupons associated with the ETN are reported as ordinary income on Form 1099, and therefore the administrative burden associated with K-1 forms is eliminated ². AMLP, unlike MLPI, is taxed as a regular corporation, resulting in a potential discrepancy between after tax performance and the performance of the Index
