- ALPS ETF Trust is a statutory trust that serves as the issuer for a diverse lineup of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including actively managed and index-tracking products focused on thematic, sector-specific, and alternative investment strategies; its offerings encompass equity ETFs targeting disruptive technologies, medical breakthroughs, natural resources, real estate, and emerging themes such as small modular reactors (SMRs), nuclear energy, and artificial intelligence, complemented by options overlays for income generation and risk management in select funds. The Trust's core products include the ALPS Nautilus SMR, Nuclear & Technology ETF (NYSE Arca: SMRF), which provides targeted exposure to companies across the nuclear value chain—such as uranium mining, enrichment, nuclear power generation, transmission, plant operations, construction including SMRs—paired with a capped (25%) allocation to leading AI and technology firms, alongside other notable ETFs like ALPS Equal Sector Weight ETF (EQL), Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP), ALPS Medical Breakthroughs ETF (SBIO), ALPS Disruptive Technologies ETF (DTEC), and recent launches such as ALPS | CoreCommodity Natural Resources ETF (CCNR) and ALPS | Smith Core Plus Bond ETF (SMTH). ALPS ETF Trust operates globally through its funds' holdings in U.S. and non-U.S. companies, serving institutional and retail investors seeking capital appreciation, income, and thematic growth; it is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with ALPS Advisors, Inc. (a subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc.) acting as investment adviser.
In a major recent development, SS&C ALPS Advisors launched the ALPS Nautilus SMR, Nuclear & Technology ETF (SMRF) on February 18, 2026, in partnership with Nautilus ETFs LLC, marking the Trust's strategic entry into the burgeoning nuclear renaissance and AI-driven energy demand sectors amid accelerating global interest in modular nuclear technologies. This actively managed fund, with a net expense ratio of 0.65% and initial net assets around $2.6 million, builds on prior expansions including the 2024 launch of ALPS | CoreCommodity Natural Resources ETF through collaboration with CoreCommodity Management, LLC, and ongoing alignments such as with O’Shares Investments and Level Four Capital Management for large-cap growth and other active ETFs.
