EMO: Another Midstream Energy CEF To Consider In 2025
Midstream energy CEFs like KYN, NML, SRV, and EMO offer high yields, leverage benefits, and avoid K-1 tax issues, making them attractive for income-oriented investors. ClearBridge Energy Midstream Opportunity Fund — EMO — has shown significant NAV growth, but its market price remains discounted; it's best held in tax-deferred accounts due to its dividend income classification. The energy sector, particularly midstream companies, is set to benefit from rising natural gas demand and pro-oil policies, with strong prospects for continued growth in 2025.
