THE INDEX

The American Energy Independence Index is comprised of U.S. and Canadian energy infrastructure companies, Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and General Partners (GPs) of MLPs. Growing production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids is increasing the need for new infrastructure to move, process and store this output. This in turn reduces the need for the U.S. to rely on imports to meet its energy needs. It is therefore anticipated that as the U.S. becomes ever more energy independent, North American infrastructure businesses, MLPs, and GPs stand to benefit.
