With megacap tech driving extreme market concentration, traditional equity and fixed income portfolios face growing structural challenges. A recent SS&C ALPS Advisors webcast, “Building Resilient Portfolios With Real Assets” — moderated by TMX VettaFi's Roxanna Islam alongside experts Carl Zeller and Richard Baker — demonstrated how incorporating real assets can help diversify your portfolio.

It's rebalance season for the ETF world, with the latest moves coming for the ALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF (ELFY). The electrification ETF made some notable drops and additions, while also naming a new number one holding by weight.

The ALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF (ELFY) targets beneficiaries of accelerating electrification, with a focus on grid infrastructure and transmission bottlenecks. ELFY has delivered a 53.79% total return since inception and a 42% market price return over the past 12 months, reflecting strong sector tailwinds. The ETF is highly diversified, with the top ten holdings comprising only 10% of assets, and sector allocations led by utilities and industrials.

Domestic for-profit utilities are spending big to meet the artificial intelligence (AI) demand moment. Regulatory Research Associates estimates that from 2026 through 2030, U.S. utilities will shell out a staggering $1.3 trillion to meet AI-related demands while enhancing reliability and modernizing power grids.

Making its debut on 04/09/2025, smart beta exchange traded fund ALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF (ELFY) provides investors broad exposure to the Utilities/Infrastructure ETFs category of the market.

Holders of the First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure Index Fund (NASDAQ:GRID) made a defensible call on one of the clearest capital-spending stories of the decade: transformers, switchgear, and the power equipment feeding an aging grid.

The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLU) has quietly become one of the more popular AI-adjacent trades on Wall Street.

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Utilities - Infrastructure segment of the equity market, the ALPS Electrification Infrastructure ETF (ELFY) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on April 9, 2025.

Recent headlines about slowing AI spending and volatile tech stocks miss a bigger story. The U.S. power grid isn't ready for what's coming.

Electrification ETFs, commodities, and the line between investing and speculation were at the center of this week's ETF Prime. Host Nate Geraci welcomed Paul Baiocchi, head of fund sales and strategy at SS&C ALPS Advisors, and Dave Nadig of ETF.com.
