Our read on ENFR
BMidstream, not drillers. ENFR owns the pipelines, storage tanks and processing plants that move North American energy, tracking the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index in a compact portfolio of roughly two dozen names.
ENFR seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index. It also seeks total return through income and capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.35%, under the 0.45% median for broad energy ETFs and below iShares' IYE at 0.38%.
- Different engine than most energy funds: infrastructure operators rather than the explorers and refiners whose fortunes swing with the barrel price.alpsfunds.com
- Income is written into the mandate: the fund seeks total return through income and capital appreciation, and distributions come on a quarterly schedule.
- Trading since 2013 and rated among the stronger names in our broad energy peer group.
Worth knowing
- Around 26 holdings in one slice of one sector. Single-name news and midstream-specific swings land harder here than in a diversified energy fund.
- The broad energy giants (XLE, FENY, VDE) all sit under 0.10%. Specialist indexing costs more.
- Moderately traded rather than a volume heavyweight, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads than the largest energy ETFs.
