New ETF from ALPS Designed to Participate in U.S. Energy Independence

New ETF to Invest in Energy Independence

Denver, CO - November 1, 2013 - ALPS Advisors, Inc., launches the Alerian Energy Infrastructure Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) as a new addition to its suite of alternative investment solutions.

The Fund delivers exposure to the Alerian Energy Infrastructure Index, an index developed by Alerian, which is intended to give investors a transparent and intuitive means of tracking the overall performance of the North American Energy Infrastructure sector. The Index is comprised of equity securities of issuers headquartered or incorporated in the United States and Canada such as Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs") and limited liability companies taxed as partnerships, MLP affiliates, and energy infrastructure companies.

The Alerian Energy Infrastructure ETF will be one of the first of its kind to deliver both energy infrastructure and MLP focused investments to the ETF market.
