It\u2019s regularly covered in this blog and a topic that continues to mystify us. Although we\u2019re still awaiting data for the last two months of 2023, it\u2019s almost certain to be the fifth year of the last six during which retail investors exited MLP funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This category includes both the non-RIC compliant MLP-only funds as well as other RIC-compliant funds such as the ones we run. The $4.6BN that investors withdrew in 2020 can fairly be attributed to the pandemic. Leveraged funds were partly to blame (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/the-destruction-of-mlp-closed-end-funds-2\">MLP Closed End Funds \u2013 Masters Of Value Destruction<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-1-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"Still heading for the exit\" class=\"wp-image-200611 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image December 27 2023 1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-1-1030x579-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-1-1030x579-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-1-1030x579-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-1-1030x579-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-1-1030x579.jpg\"><\/a>But the outflows continued the following year even as the sector maintained its recovery. 2022 was an exception, perhaps because nine of the eleven S&amp;P sectors were down as the Fed aggressively tightened policy. Energy was +64% and Utilities scraped out a 1% return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The monthly data tells the same story, with only 19 out of 70 months since 2018 being positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even more incongruous is that performance has been good. Four of the past six years have been positive, even though there was net retail buying in only one of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For investors, the 2020 market collapse caused by the pandemic was sharp but mercifully brief. The S&amp;P500 finished the year +18%. The recovery was well under way entering 2021, as the vaccine rollout progressed. You\u2019d think those pipeline investors not panicked into selling by the Covid collapse and blow up of closed end funds would be unshakeable. Apparently, they weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-2-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"Need More Energy\" class=\"wp-image-200610 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image December 27 2023 2\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-2-1030x579-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-2-1030x579-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-2-1030x579-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-2-1030x579-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-2-1030x579.jpg\"><\/a>Over the past three years, the S&amp;P Energy sector has easily beat the other ten S&amp;P sectors, returning 36% pa. The \u201cMagnificent Seven\u201d with their AI theme have left the other 493 members of the S&amp;P500 behind. But in spite of this, the S&amp;P Technology sector has lagged energy considerably, delivering 15% pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Midstream energy infrastructure also beat the other ten sectors over three years, with 25% pa. There is this incongruity in which retail investors are selling but prices are nonetheless rising. Usually fund flows follow performance and even accentuate the prevailing trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-3-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"S&amp;P 11 sectors plus AEITR and Clean Energy, annual performance\" class=\"wp-image-200609 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image December 27 2023 3\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-3-1030x579-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-3-1030x579-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-3-1030x579-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-3-1030x579-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-3-1030x579.jpg\"><\/a>The retail sellers are clearly missing out on the pipeline sector\u2019s strong performance. Some are probably motivated to avoid energy because of concerns about climate change, and that must also apply to the legions of investors who choose not to commit capital to the sector. This is in spite of strong operating performance and declining leverage, routinely noted on this blog. In rejecting midstream energy infrastructure, these investors exhibit the antithesis of irrational exuberance \u2013 call it irrational gloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pipeline companies have taken the other side of the retail selling. Just one company, Cheniere, has offset the retail outflows from MLP funds with their buyback program in 2023. Adding back those from Kinder Morgan, Targa Resources, Enterprise Products and Energy Transfer results in buybacks of more than double the net outflows. The less informed have been selling to the better informed. It\u2019s why the sector has performed so well in spite of investor selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps those who have been underweight traditional energy for up to the last three years will finally reconsider as we enter 2024. &nbsp;If they\u2019ve been allocated to clean energy they\u2019ll have done even worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-4-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"Heart over head?\" class=\"wp-image-200608 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image December 27 2023 4\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-4-1030x579-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-4-1030x579-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-4-1030x579-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-4-1030x579-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-4-1030x579.jpg\"><\/a>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spglobal.com\/spdji\/en\/indices\/esg\/sp-global-clean-energy-index\/#overview\">S&amp;P Global Clean Energy Index<\/a>&nbsp;(SPGTCED) has done worse than any of the S&amp;P\u2019s eleven sectors since 2021 and finished behind all of them in two of the past three years. Even a 1% bias within an investor\u2019s energy allocation towards clean energy would have cost 0.5%pa in underperformance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re open to investing in renewables if only we could identify profitable opportunities. Stable visible cashflows are nowhere to be found in solar and wind. Many of the investors who reject traditional energy on non-economic grounds use the same analysis to favor SPGTCED. But they\u2019ve found that Federal subsidies and a conviction that they\u2019re doing the right thing can\u2019t overcome poor economics and the cost of intermittency. If the prospects for steady profits improve we\u2019ll revisit, but don\u2019t feel we\u2019ve missed anything so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pipeline companies will continue their buybacks next year, continuing to offset the net fund outflows. And if retail investors merely stop selling that should provide a further boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blog can be accused of being a persistent cheerleader for the sector. But for the past three years, that advice has aligned with results. We\u2019re optimistic that 2024 will be similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-5-1030x579-1.jpg\" alt=\"American Energy Independence Index Returns\" class=\"wp-image-200607 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image December 27 2023 5\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-5-1030x579-1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-5-1030x579-1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-5-1030x579-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-5-1030x579-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/Blog-Image-December-27-2023-5-1030x579.jpg\"><\/a>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally Posted December 27, 2023 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/higher-despite-retail-selling\">Higher Despite Retail Selling<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The only negative about the pipeline sector today is the direction of fund flows.
