Markets and Levels / Forward Yields / MLP IPO Scorecard

Source: www.alerian.com, www.bakerhughes.com, www.treasury.gov, www.eia.gov. Historical commodity prices are spot prices at the futures contract delivery locations as per the EIA, there is a small lag in the

EIA reporting, so there will always be a slight discrepancy in the most recent price data.

Highest Estimated Forward Yield by Segment Price Performance Since IPO

Note: The NYMEX 3:2:1 Crack Spread is calculated using 3 barrels of crude at the WTI Crude Oil price, 2 barrels of gasoline at the NY Harbor Gasoline price and 1 barrel of heating oil at the NY Harbor Heating

Oil price. This is an indicative estimate only and individual refiners will have materially different effective crack spreads for their operations due to varying crude input mixes, varying product slate outputs and cash

price basis differentials for every single input and output at their various locations.

RED tickers indicate a past distribution cut. ORANGE tickers indicate VARIABLE distributions.

Tickers by Segment

• RED tickers indicate a past distribution cut.

• ORANGE tickers indicate VARIABLE distributions.

• YELLOW highlighting indicates companies / MLPs that DO

NOT send a K-1 tax form. All other tickers send a K-1 tax

form, MLP positions that generate a K-1 tax form are not

appropriate for any type of tax advantaged accounts (i.e.

IRAs, etc.).

• The General Partner list is not exhaustive, others include

MPC, OKE, PSX, VLO, WMB, etc. ,etc. KMI remains

included in this group even though it consolidated in its LPs.

• Expect more Upstream MLP distribution cuts.

• Bottom of Upstream list are oil and gas Mineral Interest

owners.
