SS&C ALPS Advisors Launches Electrification Infrastructure ETF
DENVER, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C ALPS Advisors, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SSNC), has partnered with Ladenburg Thalmann Index, LLC to launch the ALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF (NASDAQ:ELFY) (the "Fund").
"Government and Industry in the United States are committing to a multi-decade investment in electrification infrastructure, creating one of the most durable investment themes in today's market," said Laton Spahr,* Portfolio Manager and President of SS&C ALPS Advisors.
The Fund provides exposure to publicly listed mid- and large-capitalization companies positioned to benefit from electrification (the process of charging, equipping, supplying or operating with electricity, or the conversion of a machine or system to the use of electrical power).
Michael Gideon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ladenburg Thalmann Index, LLC, comments, "We are thrilled to partner with SS&C ALPS Advisors on this unique investment offering and look forward to working with them on future products."
Mark McLain, Chief Index Officer and Managing Member of Ladenburg Thalmann Index, LLC, added, "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."
Fund Objective: the ALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the performance of the Ladenburg Thalmann Electrification Infrastructure Index (LTELFYX).

The Fund invests in companies that are involved in conventional and alternative electricity generation, transmission, and distribution and technological solutions, as well as the development of grid infrastructure and smart grid technologies. General risks include the general state of the economy, intense competition, consolidation, domestic and international politics and excess capacity.
The Fund seeks to track the underlying index, which itself may have concentration in certain regions, economies, countries, markets, industries or sectors. Underperformance or increased risk in such concentrated areas may result in underperformance or increased risk in the Fund.
The Fund may be subject to risks relating to its investment in Canadian securities. Investments in securities of Canadian issuers involve risks and special considerations not typically associated with investments in the US securities markets and can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments.
Investing in securities of medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. The large capitalization companies in which the Fund invests may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole.
The Fund employs a "passive management" - or indexing - investment approach and seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the performance of its underlying index. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not "actively" managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell or buy a security unless that security is removed from or added to the underlying index, respectively.
