Geopolitics is a risk for markets that seem never to go away. This is a particularly acute energy sector problem where a lot of oil exits often geopolitically stressed the Middle East. This dynamics are clearly in the headlines today. But you can invest in the energy sector to reduce that risk. Here are two ways to do it while you collect up to 6.9%.
The energy sector is basically divided into three parts: the above, the middle and downstream. Oil and natural gas above are produced. This segment is greatly influenced by energy price fluctuations. Oil and natural gas are recycled to chemicals and refined products such as gasoline. Oil and natural gas are the main costs, which makes the price fluctuations of goods a huge impact on this segment. By the way, many chemicals and refined products are also goods, so there are usually double effects due to the volatility of goods on downstream.

Middle current flow is a major exception in the energy sector. Midstream has owned energy infrastructure such as pipelines, storage and transport assets. These assets essentially combine the rest of the world above. Since the major activity of this segment is really related to moving energy goods around, “middle -flow” companies tend to charge their assets. Demand for energy is more important than energy price in this business model. Demand for energy is usually strong, regardless of the prices of goods due to the importance of modern life.
Overall, Midstream usually has quite reliable cash flows. This allows Midstream companies to pay generous dividends and support the dividends during the swing, which often occurs in oil and natural gas price. Investors looking for energy without the full risk of geopolitical price Enterprise Products Partners(NYSE: EPD) and Enbridge(NYSE: ENB); However, not all “middle currents” of the company are equally reliable as the history of dividend Children Morgan(NYSE: BMI) and Energy transfer(Nyse: et) emphasize. Each of these high -level shares is traded for a share less than $ 100.
There are two statistics that make the company and Enbridge an attractive income investment. The first is the yield where the company offers approximately 6.9% distribution yields, while the Entbridge dividend yield is about 6.1%. By the way, this is not the only mid -flow business that you can buy. For example, the energy transmission yield is even higher for 7.2%. Before jumping into that noble yield, you should look at 2020, which was difficult for oil prices, as economic closure used to slow down the spread of coronavirus pandemic. It was a year when energy transfer reduced its distribution.
Energy transfer is not the only stock of alarming dividend. Kinder Morgan, who offers a lower 4% yield, 2020. Did not increase from their plans to increase their dividends by 25%, and instead offers only 5% hike. It seems reasonable based on the economic background, but it occurs after the dividend reduction in 2016, the last time oil prices were in landfills. And 2016 Kinder Morgan reduced after the investors ordered to expect to increase to 10%.
To be honest, both Kinder Morgan and Energy Transfer used their dividends to improve its financial conditions. However, both the company and Enbridge increased its benefits in 2016 and 2020. And both have long been conservatively carried out, including the balance sheet assessed by the investment level. A strong financial fund and conservative ethos have allowed the company to increase its distribution every year and Enbridge increase dividends for 30 years every year. This reliability is the second reason these two large buyers stand out from the packaging. And if you are going to make hard -earned cash, even if it is only $ 100, you should probably follow the companies you can trust.
Obviously, business is Kinder Morgan, Energy Transfer, Enterprise and Enbridge. Some investors may even prefer Kinder Morgan and Energy transfer, based on their specific companies. But if you are looking for revenue campaigns, you can trust the volatile energy sector, North American Midstream Giants and Enbridge stand out in the field of reliability. Add their noble harvest and the choice should be quite easy, whether you invest $ 100 or $ 100,000.
