Alerian Announces Real-Time Launch of the Alerian Size Indices


DALLAS, March 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Alerian announced today the real-time launch of the Alerian Size Indices, composed of the Alerian Large Cap MLP Index (AMLI), Alerian Mid Cap MLP Index (AMMI), and Alerian Small Cap MLP Index (AMSI). The three indices, which will be disseminated real-time on a price-return basis and on a total-return basis, will capture more than 99% of total energy Master Limited Partnership (MLP) market capitalization.  

"With the number of energy MLPs more than doubling and their collective market capitalization quintupling over the past 10 years, interest in grouping these securities in different ways has also taken off," said Alerian President and CEO Kenny Feng. "In the same way that the Energy MLP Classification Standard (EMCSSM) enables stakeholders to better evaluate sector exposure, the Alerian Size Indices will provide investors, management teams, and analysts with an additional research and assessment tool based on company size."

Alerian Large Cap MLP Index (AMLI)

The Alerian Large Cap MLP Index is a composite of large-cap energy MLPs. The capitalization-weighted index, which represents approximately 70% of total market capitalization, is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMLI) and on a total-return basis (AMLIX).

Constituent weightings as of March 18, 2016

The Alerian Large Cap MLP Index, previously disseminated end-of-day on a price-return basis (ALCI) and total-return basis (ALCIX), will cease to be published.

Alerian Mid Cap MLP Index

The Alerian Mid Cap MLP Index is a composite of mid-cap energy MLPs. The capitalization-weighted index, which represents approximately 20% of total market capitalization, is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMMI) and on a total return-basis (AMMIX).

Constituent weightings as of March 18, 2016

Alerian Small Cap MLP Index

The Alerian Small Cap MLP Index is a composite of small-cap energy MLPs. The capitalization-weighted index, which represents approximately 10% of total market capitalization, is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMSI) and on a total return-basis (AMSIX).

Constituent weightings as of March 18, 2016
