- Alps ETF Trust (the Trust) is a Delaware statutory trust organized in 2007 that serves as an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, offering a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on diverse investment strategies including fixed income, equities, commodities, real estate, and thematic sectors. The Trust's ETFs employ active and index-based approaches; primary offerings include the ALPS | Smith Core Plus Bond ETF (SMTH), which invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds such as U.S. government notes and bonds, corporate bonds (investment grade and high yield), convertible bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and zero-coupon bonds to pursue above-average total returns from current income and capital appreciation; the Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP), providing exposure to energy infrastructure master limited partnerships; the ALPS Equal Sector Weight ETF (EQL), the first equal sector ETF of ETFs; the ALPS Disruptive Technologies ETF (DTEC); the ALPS Medical Breakthroughs ETF (SBIO); and others such as the ALPS Active REIT ETF (REIT), ALPS | O’Shares ETFs (OUSA, OUSM, OEUR, OGIG), ALPS Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF (MNBD), Level Four Large Cap Growth Active ETF (LGRO), and ALPS | CoreCommodity Natural Resources ETF (CCNR). Headquartered at 1290 Broadway, Suite 1000, Denver, Colorado, the Trust operates principally in the United States with ETFs listed on NYSE Arca and other exchanges, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to fixed income core-plus strategies, sector-specific equities, alternative assets, and thematic growth opportunities benchmarked against indices like the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for SMTH. ALPS Advisors, Inc., a subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc., acts as the investment adviser, with sub-advisers for specific funds such as Smith Capital Investors, LLC for SMTH (managed by portfolio managers Gibson Smith and Eric Bernum since inception); the Trust was acquired through SS&C's purchase of DST Systems in 2018, which owned ALPS Holdings. In recent developments, the Trust launched the ALPS | Smith Core Plus Bond ETF (SMTH) on December 5, 2023, via a strategic partnership with Smith Capital Investors, LLC, emphasizing risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation in fixed income; this ETF has experienced rapid asset growth, surpassing $1 billion in AUM by late 2024 and reaching approximately $2.3 billion by December 2025 amid shifting interest rate environments. Additional 2023-2025 changes include partnerships for new ETF launches such as the Level Four Large Cap Growth Active ETF (LGRO) with Level Four Capital Management, LLC, and the ALPS | CoreCommodity Natural Resources ETF (CCNR) with CoreCommodity Management, LLC in 2024; ongoing alignments like the 2022 addition of O’Shares ETFs and plans to transfer certain ETF listings to NYSE Arca.
