Better Buy: Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP vs. Kinder Morgan Inc.
Infrastructure companies can be a great option for income-seeking investors. These entities typically generate robust cash flow backed by fee-based contracts, which gives them money to send back to investors. That's certainly the case with Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE: BIP), which currently yield 2.6% and 4%, respectively, well above the S&P 500's 1.9% average.
While income seekers might take one look at those yields and declare Brookfield Infrastructure Partners the better buy, there are a few other things worth considering. One of those items, in my opinion, profoundly tilts the scale toward Kinder Morgan.
