Alerian, is an American company that provides transparent master limited partnerships (MLP) and energy infrastructure benchmarks and analytics.
The flagship Alerian MLP Index (AMZ) is used by industry professionals to analyze relative performance.
These products provide investors with access to MLPs and energy infrastructure without the administrative burden associated with K-1 forms.
Alerian does not earn revenue from underwriting or other investment banking fees, nor does it actively manage a portfolio of MLP and energy infrastructure securities on behalf of clients.
An independent advisory board of MLP and energy infrastructure executives, legal partners, and senior financial professionals reviews all methodology modifications and constituent changes to ensure that they are made objectively and without bias.
