SS&C ALPS Advisors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (SSNC, Financial), has announced the launch of the ALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF (Nasdaq: ELFY) in partnership with Ladenburg Thalmann Index, LLC. The ETF made its debut on April 10, 2025, catering to investors eyeing opportunities in the burgeoning electrification infrastructure sector.
ELFY specifically targets mid- and large-cap companies that are poised to benefit from developments in electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and smart grid technologies. By providing an equal-weighted and sector-diverse investment vehicle, the fund seeks to mirror the performance of the Ladenburg Thalmann Electrification Infrastructure Index (LTELFYX).
Laton Spahr, Portfolio Manager and President of SS&C ALPS Advisors, emphasized the significance of the U.S. government's commitment to electrification infrastructure, labeling it as a substantial long-term investment opportunity. Michael Gideon, President, and CEO of Ladenburg Thalmann Index, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the collaboration's potential to capitalize on the anticipated growth in electricity demand across the United States.
Mark McLain, Chief Index Officer at Ladenburg Thalmann Index, noted, "We are in the early innings of a seismic shift in United States electricity demand growth. ELFY provides investors with an equal-weighted, sector-diverse vehicle to participate alongside the companies powering the electrification of America for years to come."
In terms of investment strategy, the fund employs a passive management approach, aiming for investment results that align with the performance of its underlying index. It places a strong emphasis on companies engaged in conventional and alternative energy components, as well as the technological advancements in grid infrastructure.
Investors are advised to thoroughly consider the fund’s objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. Due to the inherent risks associated with market volatility, concentrations in specific sectors, and Canadian securities, the fund may face heightened volatility and liquidity challenges.
