Have you suffered losses investing in EQM Midstream Partners LP? If so, the securities attorneys of The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution Claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

After a rebound in stock prices in 2017, the company’s share price has reportedly dropped again, more than 35% in the past 6 months.

EQM Midstream Partners, LP (EQM), formerly EQT Midstream Partners, LP, reportedly owns, operates, acquires and develops midstream assets in the Appalachian Basin. The Company’s segments reportedly include Gathering and Transmission.

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 publicly 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.

MLPs are extremely complex and risky, making them only suitable for wealthy, sophisticated retail investors or institutional investors.  The high fees they generate may cause unscrupulous financial advisors looking to maximize their own commissions to recommend them improperly.
