Iran tensions keep oil elevated, boosting the appeal of high-yield MLP ETFs. AMZA, AMLP and MLPI offer income with resilient midstream exposure.

InfraCap MLP ETF remains a "Buy," delivering 25% YTD returns and outperforming the S&P 500 by 17 percentage points. AMZA's 8%+ yield, modest leverage, and concentrated midstream MLP exposure drive strong total return, though concentration and sector cyclicality are key risks. Valuation has risen to 13.2x P/E but remains reasonable given high yield and positive technical momentum, with a bullish cup-and-handle chart pattern.

New AdvizorPro data shows RIAs broadened their ETF lineups in Q1 2026, leaning into real assets, active managers, and defense strategies.

If you own the InfraCap MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:AMZA) for income, the question is simple: can the fund keep cutting those $0.34 monthly checks?

InfraCap MLP ETF offers an 8.95% distribution yield, driven by active management, leverage, and covered call strategies. I assign AMZA a Hold rating, citing potential short-term volatility from energy price normalization despite strong long-term structural demand. AMZA is highly concentrated, with its top 10 holdings comprising 97% of equity exposure, and exhibits high turnover and above-average risk.
