Information on PTPs
Publicly traded partnerships (PTPs), often known as master limited partnerships
(MLPs), are limited partnerships which are traded on public
exchanges. A share in a PTP is
called a “unit,” and PTP shareholders are known as “unitholders.”
PTPs can be found on the New York, American, and NASDAQ exchanges, as
well as many regional exchanges.
PTPs allow the affordability and liquidity of corporate stocks and bonds
combined with the advantages of investing in a partnership.
PTPs generally pay their investors regular cash distributions, and many
offer growth potential as well. There are currently over four dozen PTPs on the market,
mostly in industries related to energy, natural resources, and real estate.
