Revisiting Valuation – Yields Remain Attractive: MLP yields continue to
offer value relative to treasuries and investment grade corporate bonds.
Relative to history, MLPs’ yield is at or above one standard deviation high
relative to both 10-year treasuries and investment grade corporate bonds.
Given the current macroeconomic uncertainty and scarcity of yield, we
continue to believe MLPs are an attractive asset class and would focus on
the large, liquid investment grade names within the group (A Basket of MLPs
to Own). Top Picks for the Current Environment: EPD, KMR & PAA.

More Debottlenecking Projects Announced: Over the past week,
Magellan Midstream (MMP) and Enterprise Products (EPD) (along with
partners Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP) and Anadarko (APC)) announced
projects aimed at alleviating current crude oil and NGL bottlenecks,
respectively. We view these projects as incremental positives for each
company. Note, these projects alone are unlikely to solve the current crude
oil and NGL bottlenecks and will not become operational until mid-2013
suggesting the potential for additional project announcements and the
potential for location-based commodity price differentials to remain wide for
an extended period of time. Please see page 3 for more detail.
