I rate Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF (MLPX) a Buy, targeting an 8%–13% total return over 6–12 months.

Concentration in WMB, TRP, and ENB means capital deployment efficiency and project execution are critical to MLPX's forward returns.

The coverage ratio compares how much cash an MLP generates against how much it pays out.
