What does the MPLX total return include?
MPLX total return combines two components: the cumulative distributions you received from MPLX over the holding period, and the change in NAV (share price) across the same window. Many high-yield funds advertise distribution rates that look spectacular in isolation but mask meaningful NAV erosion. The analyzer above shows exactly how much of your MPLX return came from distributions versus price change — a 50% annualized distribution rate paired with a 30% NAV decline is a very different investment than a 50% distribution with flat NAV.
MPLX LP (MPLX) is issued by Marathon Petroleum. Master limited partnership in crude oil and natural gas midstream operations. Quarterly distributions. That strategy directly shapes the gap between headline yield and real yield: option-premium and covered-call funds tend to show large gaps, while traditional dividend ETFs and index funds usually show small ones.
