Well since some people are interested in risk investments such as property, why not consider oil, gas, energy, fertiliser, pipelines etc... via MLPs:
Anyone interested in investigating the possibilities. The taxes might be a bit funky in Ireland I don't know. One thing that is correct is that there is one less taxation level in a partnership as opposed to other types of investment vehicle.
Master Limited Partnerships have the same liquid trading characteristics as common stock, yet they are very different from common stocks. The most obvious difference is that MLP's are 'pass through' investment vehicles--they pass through the income to you the investor. The Partnership pays no taxes at the company level--instead passing the income to you (and of course you likely pay taxes on the income). Thus one level of taxation is removed allowing the investor to receive a larger distribution.
