Midstream-focused ETFs continued to attract investor inflows in 2026 amid energy volatility, with the segment totaling $1.1 billion in net flows year to date through Sept. 23, according to ETF Trends.

The Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) gathered $1.0 billion in net inflows year to date through Sept. 23, while the Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF (ENFR) added $134.0 million over the same period. Over the past three months, AMLP received $446.0 million in net flows and ENFR attracted $72.0 million.

AMLP holds more than $13.0 billion in assets under management, making it the largest MLP ETF and the second-largest energy ETF by assets after the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE). ENFR has $538.0 million in assets and is described as the lowest-cost ETF in the midstream category.

Underlying index yields were a key part of the appeal: AMLP’s Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index (AMZI) was yielding 6.7% as of Sept. 23, while ENFR’s Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (AMEI) was yielding 4.4%, ETF Trends said.
