The USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund ETF delivers strong midstream energy sector exposure, focusing on U.S. and Canadian companies with persistent cash flow. UMI has outperformed the S&P 500 over five years, returning 174% versus 71%, driven by its emphasis on LNG infrastructure. The fund's active strategy targets high-quality midstream firms with robust distribution coverage, efficient capital allocation, and low direct commodity price exposure.

The USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund ETF offers a 5.90% yield by investing in U.S. and Canadian midstream energy equities, providing strong income potential. UMI's yield is higher than investment-grade bond funds and may offer superior after-tax income, with built-in inflation protection via midstream contract structures. UMI excludes utilities, resulting in higher yield but increased sector risk during energy downturns; recent performance nearly matched the S&P 500 when distributions are reinvested.

Your typical savings account likely yields 0.5% or less, and maybe 4-5% if you have a high-yield account.

WTI crude went from $57.97 a barrel in December 2025 to over $100 today. That kind of move hands a windfall to oil producers and gives their shareholders motion sickness in roughly equal measure.

Midstream dividend ETFs are an underrated way to derive income from the stock market, mainly because Wall Street is still overlooking them.

UMI is an actively managed ETF focused on high current income from midstream energy companies, but its yield (3.95%) lags peers and fixed income options. Despite its income focus, UMI has delivered strong total returns, outperforming the S&P 500 and most midstream peers over the past three years. The fund's relatively high expense ratio and concentrated portfolio explain its lower yield, despite holdings in high-yielding midstream firms.
