Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are a type of limited partnership that is publicly traded. MLP’s receive the same tax benefits of a limited partnership combined with the liquidity of a publically traded security. In order to be classified as an MLP the partnership must receive 90% of its cash flow from a “qualifying source” – such as real estate, natural resources or commodities.

Problems with Master Limited Partnerships

MLPs have increasingly been used to invest in the energy sector and are often sold to investors seeking income.  However, MLP’s are extremely complex and risky, making them only suitable for wealthy, sophisticated retail investors or institutional investors.  They are also a dream product for Wall Street because of the fees they generate, which may cause unscrupulous financial advisors looking to maximize their own commissions to recommend them improperly.

The White Law Group continues to investigate the liability that brokerage firms may have for recommending high risk energy MLPs to their clients.

Brokerage firms are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investments they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for their client in light of that client’s age, net worth, investment experience, and investment objectives. Firms that fail to perform adequate due diligence or that make unsuitable recommendations can be held responsible for losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
