Is a MLP the right investment for you?

A Master Limited Partnership (or MLP) such as Breitburn Energy Partners, is a type of limited partnership that is publicly traded. MLPs receive the same tax benefits of a limited partnership combined with the liquidity of a publicly traded securities. But investors in such companies can lose more than 100 percent of their investment if the company does not make a profit.

Brokerage firms that sell such products are required to perform adequate due diligence on the investments to ensure a reasonable likelihood of success. They must evaluate whether the investments are suitable in light of the 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.
