Tortoise North American Pipeline ETF Surpasses S&P 500 With Stable Midstream Energy Exposure

The Tortoise North American Pipeline ETF (TPYP) has delivered impressive returns for investors over the past five years, outperforming the S&P 500 with its stable midstream energy exposure. Unlike oil-linked ETFs that are subject to commodity price swings, TPYP focuses on fee-based returns from U.S. and Canadian midstream energy infrastructure.

According to data available as of September 17, 2026, TPYP has a total return of 20% over the past five years, surpassing the S&P 500's 15%. This performance is attributed to strong demand for midstream assets due to factors such as geopolitical disruptions and rising U.S. LNG exports.

The fund's portfolio is primarily composed of U.S.-listed stocks, with a heavy weighting in natural gas pipelines. TPYP also boasts a low expense ratio of 0.40%, making it an attractive option for investors seeking stable returns in the energy sector.
