Event summary
The article suggests the USCF Midstream Energy Income Fund (UMI) ETF as a way for investors to benefit from high oil prices without the volatility typically associated with direct investments in oil producers. UMI invests in midstream energy companies that generate predictable revenue from long-term, fee-based contracts for transporting oil and gas, offering a smoother ride compared to upstream producers despite potentially lower capped upside during oil price surges. The ETF also simplifies tax reporting by packaging MLP exposure, delivering a monthly income yield while incurring an expense ratio of 0.69%.
