MLPB Profile
MLPB
is the stock symbol for the ETRACS Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index
ETN, which is an exchange-traded note that seeks to provide investors
with exposure to the performance of the Alerian MLP Infrastructure
Index.
The Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index is a benchmark
index that tracks the performance of infrastructure master limited
partnerships (MLPs) that own and operate energy infrastructure assets,
such as pipelines, storage facilities, and processing plants. MLPs are
tax-advantaged investment vehicles that are typically structured as
limited partnerships, and they are often used to finance and operate
energy infrastructure projects.
MLPB is issued by UBS AG and is
designed to provide investors with a return that reflects the
performance of the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index, minus any
applicable fees and expenses. The note has a maturity date of August
24, 2042, and is senior unsecured debt obligations of UBS AG.
As of March 11, 2022, MLPB had a distribution yield of approximately
7.44%. However, it's important to note that as an ETN, MLPB does not
actually own the securities that make up the Alerian MLP
Infrastructure Index, but instead represents a promise by UBS AG to
pay investors the return of the index, minus any fees and expenses.
It's also worth noting that MLPs can be subject to unique risks,
including commodity price fluctuations, regulatory changes, and
changes in tax laws, which can impact their performance. Additionally,
as with any investment, there are inherent risks involved, and
investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk
tolerance, and other factors before investing in MLPB or any other
security.
In summary, MLPB is an ETN that seeks to provide
investors with exposure to the performance of the Alerian MLP
Infrastructure Index, which tracks the performance of infrastructure
MLPs that own and operate energy infrastructure assets. As with any
investment, investors should carefully evaluate their investment
objectives and risk tolerance before investing in MLPB or any other
security.
