Membership
The Master Limited Partnership Association is a trade association devoted to promoting the welfare of publicly traded partnerships (commonly known as master limited partnerships or MLPs). Membership is open to publicly traded limited partnerships and publicly traded LLCs taxed as partnerships, general partners and sponsors of PTPs; firms providing services to PTPs; and other businesses or individuals with an interest in the welfare of PTPs. To become a member, a company must submit an application, which is then reviewed and approved by the MLPA Board.
Membership dues for MLPA are $16,000 for large partnerships and general partner members (those with assets of more than $400 million and revenue of more than $200 million); $12,000 for small partnerships; $11,000 for national investment banking firms; $6,000 for accounting, law, and other service firms and regional investment banking firms; $5,000 for Associate Members (primarily buy-side investment firms); and $2,500 for Industry Partners (Yield Cos, former MLPs that are taxed as C-corporations, private equity firms, and private companies). New members receive a 50% discount for their first year of membership.
