Alerian Launches Two New Midstream Energy Indices and Announces Methodology and Name Changes to the Alerian Energy Infrastructure Index

DALLAS, June 29, 2018/PRNewswire/ -- Alerian announced today the real-time launch of the Alerian Midstream Energy Index, a broad-based composite of North American energy infrastructure companies. Constituents can be structured as pass-through entities or corporations, but must earn the majority of their cash flow from midstream activities involving energy commodities. The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMNA) and on a total-return basis (AMNAX).

Alerian also announced the launch of the Alerian US Midstream Energy Index, a broad-based composite of US energy infrastructure companies and the American subset of the Alerian Midstream Energy Index. The index is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMUS) and on a total-return basis (AMUSX).

Separately, Alerian announced that the Alerian Energy Infrastructure Index (AMEI) will be renamed the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (AMEI) effective after market close on Friday, June 29, 2018. In addition, the index methodology for the AMEI will be updated and posted to the website after market close on Monday, July 9, 2018. The effective date of the methodology changes will be Wednesday, July 18, 2018. A special rebalancing will take place after market close on Monday, July 23, 2018 incorporating the new methodology.

"Though the majority of the public's midstream energy dollars are invested in MLPs, a sizable minority are in corporations," said Alerian President and CEO Kenny Feng. "Accordingly, the two indices launched today are ideally suited for industry stakeholders that primarily value sector representation above other investment considerations."

"Updating the index methodology for the AMEI is a logical extension of the index launches announced today," Feng continued. "Going forward, the AMEI will be a liquid subset of the AMNA and continue to limit companies taxed as pass-through entities to 25%."
