With interest rates still hovering at near zero, investors have plowed head-first into any asset class with a high yield. One of the biggest recipients of investor cash over the last few years have been master limited partnerships (MLPs). The corporate tax-structure for these companies is designed to kick out large, tax-advantaged dividends to unit holders and the sponsoring general partners. Those high yields often average in the 4% to 7% range, handily beating the pants off of Treasury bonds, CDs and other traditional fixed income asset classes.
The problem with high yield MLPs is the perception that they will tank if the Fed raises interest rates. But historically, that simply hasn't been the case. And let's not forget that the Fed isn't all of sudden going to go from 0% to 15% overnight. Anything that throws off a high yield is still going to be coveted by investors. Here are four high-yield MLPs to buy today: Martin Midstream Partners (MMLP), Oneok Partners, L.P. (OKS), Linn Energy, LLC (LINE) and Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (EEP).
