About Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP)

The Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) is an exchange-traded fund that is designed to provide exposure to U.S. midstream energy infrastructure companies. These companies are involved in the transportation, storage, and processing of energy commodities, such as oil and natural gas. AMLP seeks to track the performance of the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index, which is comprised of 25 leading MLPs (Master Limited Partnerships) that derive a significant portion of their revenues from midstream activities.

The price history of AMLP reflects the volatility and challenges faced by the midstream energy sector over the years. The ETF experienced significant declines during the oil price downturn in 2014-2016, as the midstream companies were affected by lower energy prices and reduced capital expenditure in the industry. However, since then, AMLP has shown some signs of recovery, as the energy market rebounded and investors regained confidence in the sector.
