If you’re looking for yield, you’re in the right place. And I don’t just mean any yield — I mean truly high yield. See, master limited partnerships (MLPs) were originally created as a way to spur energy infrastructure improvements in the U.S. and offer high tax-deferred distributions for investors, as well as a host of benefits for the sponsoring firms. Overall, the combination of these distributions and investor interest could make MLPs the sector du jour for 2013.

While I wouldn’t bet the whole farm on these refinery variable distribution MLPs, they can provide some spice to an income portfolio starving for extra “oomph.” With that in mind, here are three to consider: Northern Tier Energy (NYSE:NTI), Calumet Specialty Products Partners (NASDAQ:CLMT) and CVI Energy (NYSE:CVI).
