The Westwood Salient Enhanced Midstream Income ETF (MDST) has consistently paid $0.225 per share monthly for 26 months, yielding about 9.4% to 10.5% annually. It combines dividends from major North American midstream pipeline operators with income from covered call options, avoiding K-1 tax forms. The fund's income is supported by fee-based pipeline cash flows from companies like Enbridge and Energy Transfer, which are less sensitive to commodity price swings. However, option premium income depends on market volatility, which has recently declined, potentially reducing future premiums. Despite risks from oil price fluctuations and regulatory challenges, MDST has shown strong total returns and asset growth, making it attractive for income-focused investors seeking monthly distributions with some capital appreciation.
