Midstream MLPs are primarily involved in the gathering, storage and transportation of oils and gases.
MLPs are subject to many risks, including those that differ from the risks involved in an investment in the common stock of a corporation. Holders of MLP interests have limited control and voting rights on matters affecting the partnership and are exposed, under certain circumstances, to a possibility of liability for all of the obligations of that MLP. Holders of MLP interests are also exposed to the risk that they will be required to repay amounts to the MLP that are wrongfully distributed to them. In addition, the value of an investor’s investment in an MLP will depend in part on the MLP’s treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. MLP interests may not be as liquid as other more commonly traded equity securities and have relatively high distribution rates compared to corporate securities. The characterization of these distributions as either long-term capital gains or as some other type of return may not be ascertainable until the end of a taxable year and may complicate the calculation of the Fund’s and its shareholders’ taxes.

If interest rates fall, the value of the older, higher-paying bond will rise in comparison with new issues.
