The MLP-Focused Closed-End Funds and ETFs Index is up 1.2% over the last month as elevated energy prices have helped these energy-tied entities and investors have sought out high-yielding investments amid volatile markets.  As new instruments to track MLPs are developed, the segment will remain in focus.  The Index is ahead of the S&P 500 by 10% since the start of 2008.  

Tickerspy Indexes use a "net asset value" calculation and cover a wide range of market sectors and segments, including dry bulk shipping stocks, Canadian energy trusts, gold and silver stocks, uranium stocks, money center banks, and many more.  Tickerspy also offers various high-yielding sector Indexes, including for royalty trusts and Canadian energy trusts, mortgage REITs, closed-end funds, MLPs, propane stocks and others.
