SS&C ALPS Advisors announced distributions for its midstream ETFs, underscoring income stability and growth for investors in times of broad market volatility.

Midstream MLPs and corporations rely on long-term contracts as well as a fee-based model that provides reliable cash flow. This allows them to generate relatively consistent dividends, and even grow dividends in challenging market environments.
“I expect dividend growth to continue to be a tailwind for the energy infrastructure space,” Stacey Morris, head of energy research at VettaFi, said. “Dividend growth is enhancing already compelling yields.”
The underlying index for AMLP currently has a dividend yield of 7.51% while ENFR’s index has a yield of 5.47% as of August 13, 2025.
