Despite the recent uptick in volatility across the market due to ongoing trade wars and rising interest rates, some top fund managers still think that growth stocks will continue to produce strong returns on capital for investors this year and beyond. Unfortunately, there isn't exactly a surfeit of attractively priced growth equities at the moment thanks to the aging bull market.
That's why I think growth investors may need to look toward somewhat riskier areas -- such as clinical-stage biotech companies -- to find the most compelling growth opportunities in this heated market. Clinical-stage biotechs, after all, have consistently been some of the best-performing stocks for the bulk of the past eight years, and the rapid pace of innovation in the space strongly suggests that this favorable trend isn't about to evaporate overnight.

The best dividend growth stocks are those that give their investors a raise year in and year out. However, some companies aim even higher by providing their investors with increases every quarter. Two of these dividend dynamos are Magellan Midstream Partners (NYSE:MMP) and MPLX (NYSE:MPLX), which both should have plenty of fuel to continue increasing their payouts each quarter for at least the next few years.

The project could also be an important one to facilitate another pipeline that's under development. Targa Resources (NYSE:TRGP), MPLX (NYSE: MPLX), NextEra Energy, and private equity-backed WhiteWater Midstream recently announced that they're working on the Whistler Pipeline project, which would also move 2 Bcf/d from Waha to the Gulf Coast. The partners have already locked up gas supplies from a variety of sources, including from gas processing plants operated by Targa Resources as well as from the 1.4 Bcf/D Agua Blanca Pipeline, which is owned by a joint venture between Targa, MPLX, WPX Energy, and WhiteWater. However, the Whistler Pipeline's developers still need about 500,000 MMcf/d of additional volume commitments to fill its capacity, which could come from producers shipping on Double E.

That's why those who like dividends will undoubtedly love what Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD), Magellan Midstream Partners (NYSE:MMP), and MPLX (NYSE:MPLX) have to offer. Not only does this trio of energy midstream master limited partnerships (MLPs) pay well-above-average dividends that currently have yields of between 5.6% and 7.2%, but they have consistently increased their payment rate each quarter. With those payouts on rock-solid ground and more growth in the forecast, this trio of MLPs is perfect for dividend fans.
