Alerian Announces Real-Time Launch of the Alerian Energy Infrastructure Capital Strength Select Index

DALLAS, Jan. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Alerian announced today the real-time launch of the Alerian Energy Infrastructure Capital Strength Select Index, a composite of North American midstream, refining, and utility companies chosen for their ownership of pipeline transportation assets, leverage profile, and above-market dividend payments. The index is disseminated real-time on a price-return basis (AMCS) and on a total-return basis (AMCST).

"The AMCS was designed with the understanding that the portion of the North American energy value chain from midstream to distribution has become increasingly integrated," said Alerian President and CEO Kenny Feng. "The composition of this index also seeks to address growing investor focus on strengthening balance sheets and improving corporate governance."
