The Canadian Invasion and Other Trends in MLP M&A
We delve into some the recent trends in mergers and acquisitions involving master limited partnerships and other midstream operators.
International Intrigue
Our International Portfolio’s conservative allocation weathered the selloff in energy-related equities with aplomb and has continued its strong performance in 2016. The handful of names in our aggressive sleeve have also rallied hard this year. We revisit out strategy for the back half of the year.
Canada’s Comeback
Canadian energy stocks have rallied hard with oil and gas prices, but investors should remain cautious, stick with our strategy and focus on high-quality names.
Changes to the International Portfolio
We expect even the hardest-hit International Portfolio holdings to survive the current down-cycle. However, we have concerns about how long this recovery might take; in some instances, we’re be better off taking a loss and re-allocating capital to stocks that stand a better chance of making money over the next few years.
Canada and Australia
Canadian and Australian energy stocks have suffered the double whammy of lower oil and gas prices and a sharp retrenchment in the value of their home currencies relative to the US dollar.
