Forget MLPs — Hunt Down GPs for Growing Yield (ETE)

At this point, the master limited partnership cat is out of the bag. As we’ve noted time and time again, the corporate structure provides some lucrative benefits for sponsoring firms (strong cash flows and unique tax benefits) and investors (high distributions, usually in the 5% to 7% range) alike. It’s pretty easy to see how MLPs have caught on, and the asset class is far from a secret anymore. But now, there’s one more way to skin this high-yield cat.

A recent IPO filing by midstream operator Tallgrass Energy Partners LP (NYSE:TEP) highlights an often ignored subsector of the MLP marketplace — one that features faster-growing payouts than their limited partner brethren. For investors looking for sheer dividend growth, general partners could be where it’s at: Energy Transfer Equity LP (NYSE:ETE), Energy Transfer Partners LP (NYSE:ETP), Regency Energy Partners LP (NYSE:RGP), Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (NYSE:SXL) as well as Sunoco LP (NYSE:SUN).
