Which Energy ETF Stands Out, the Global X MLPX or the First Trust EMLP?

The article compares two energy infrastructure ETFs: Global X MLPX offers lower costs (0.45% expense ratio), higher dividend yield (4.10%), and better 1-year returns (23.20%), but with higher volatility and less diversification (29 holdings). First Trust EMLP provides broader diversification (65 holdings), lower volatility, and an ESG screen, but charges a higher expense ratio (0.95%) and offers lower dividend yield (2.80%). The choice depends on investor risk tolerance and income preferences.
