MLPs

Master Limited Partnerships, or MLPs, are partnerships that are traded on the open market. Often businesses open as MLPs to gain the tax privileges of partnerships and the liquidity of publically traded companies. The MLP market is growing at a very fast pace and investors are only beginning to reap the dividends. Two MLPs with the highest potential to succeed are Breitburn Energy Partners (NASDAQ:BBEP) and Shell Midstream (NYSE:SHLX).
